Hello~

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Shim Jung-hwan, Director of Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

Autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty involves directly harvesting cartilage from the ribs

to use as a material, which has fewer side effects and less foreign body sensation compared to artificial implants.

In addition, because a large amount can be harvested and it is hard and strong, it provides excellent support,

and is relatively free from inflammation and contracture even after a long time.

​

Today, we will look into which areas

this autologous costal cartilage can be used for during rhinoplasty.

​

Which areas can costal cartilage be used for?

Costal cartilage is generally used to build the strut for the nasal tip.

In cases of severe contracture and inflammation, costal cartilage may also be used

on the nasal bridge, but typically, a softer and easier-to-shape

silicone implant is used.

​

Today, we learned about costal cartilage.

I will return with even more informative content next time.
