of a larger quantity of cartilage compared to other autologous tissues,
enabling the creation of a more defined nasal shape.
It provides the strongest support, maintaining a beautiful nasal shape over time.
Autologous rib cartilage forms a strong nasal pillar
and structural support due to its durability.
As it is not an artificial implant, it reduces the risk of complications.

Autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty
Autologous rib cartilage offers durability and excellent structural support.
Autologous costal cartilage is known to provide
the strongest structural support for rhinoplasty.
It minimizes complications such as warping and drooping
while enabling precise shaping.
- Preoperative assessments ensure surgical suitability.
- Maintains nasal tip projection for an extended period without drooping.
- Performed by surgeons skilled in both rhinoplasty and rib cartilage handling.

Nose Plastic Surgery Process
Autologous Costal Cartilage Rhinoplasty at 345 Plastic Surgery is Planned through Precise Analysis
and advanced surgical skills due to the use of rib cartilage.

First, Rib Cartilage Harvest via Minimal Incision
through a minimal 2.5cm incision
after preoperative assessment.

Second, Rib Cartilage Shaping by Specialist
according to the pre-planned design.

Third, Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty
using the shaped rib cartilage.

Fourth, Postoperative Care
and minimize complications.
Autologous costal cartilage test
At 345 Plastic Surgery, a rib series test is performed to assess the condition of the autologous rib cartilage.
Without proper assessment, unnecessary incisions
and surgical modifications may occur.
Therefore, we establish a precise surgical plan
through preoperative testing.

High-level surgical skills
Requires higher-level surgical expertise than general rhinoplasty.
It involves not only rib cartilage harvesting but also precise secondary sculpting tailored to the individual’s proportions, requiring extensive experience and expertise.
At 345 Plastic Surgery, experienced surgeons with abundant experience in rib cartilage procedures perform the surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Rhinoplasty
Is implant-free revision surgery possible for contracted nose cases?
Contracture is often caused by inflammation from implants like silicone or Gore-Tex. In revision surgery, it is recommended to avoid reusing implants. If contracture is implant-related, the standard is to remove the implant and perform the surgery without it.
Is implant-free rhinoplasty possible for everyone?
Whether or not to use an implant is a matter of choice. However, there may be limitations to how much the nasal bridge can be raised without an implant, which will be explained during consultation. If the nasal bridge is of average height, enhancing the nasal tip can make the nose stand out, making implant-free rhinoplasty a viable option.
Why does nasal tip drooping occur after rhinoplasty?
Since the implant is supported by the underlying bone, collapse of the nasal bridge is rare. However, if the nasal tip is lower than the bridge, it may appear as tip drooping. If the patient is prone to tip drooping, adjusting the bridge height or using supportive materials can minimize the risk. However, due to the constant pull of gravity, tip drooping may occur over 10 to 20 years as ligaments and surrounding tissues loosen with aging. Even without surgery, the nose naturally droops over time due to aging.
