Hello~

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

Among the cartilages used during rhinoplasty is autologous rib cartilage!

Autologous rib cartilage has excellent structural strength, provides an abundant amount of material,

and is highly resistant to inflammation and infection, making it an excellent material

that is widely preferred.

Autologous rib cartilage is harvested directly from the patient's own rib through a minimal incision.

While a large amount of autologous rib cartilage can be obtained, exactly how much is actually needed?

Today, let's find out how much autologous rib cartilage is harvested during the procedure~

​

Autologous Rib Cartilage Harvesting: How and How Much is Harvested?

Although it varies depending on the amount required for the surgery,

generally, an incision of about 2.5cm is made,

and the rib cartilage is harvested to a length of around 3cm.

Today, we learned about the harvesting amount of autologous rib cartilage.

I will be back next time with even more informative content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is autologous costal cartilage preferred as a material for rhinoplasty?

Yes, because it is very strong and resistant to inflammation and infection. It is also highly regarded as an excellent material for surgeries that require strong structural support, as it provides a sufficient amount of cartilage for rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty.

From which part of the body is autologous costal cartilage harvested?

It is harvested directly from the patient's own ribs. A portion of the rib cartilage from the chest area is safely removed through a minimally invasive incision and used as material for rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty.

What is the size of the incision when harvesting autologous costal cartilage?

Generally, a minimal incision of about 2.5cm is made. While it may vary slightly depending on the amount of cartilage needed for the surgery, it is common practice to perform the surgery through as small an incision as possible to minimize scarring.

What is the length of autologous costal cartilage harvested for rhinoplasty?

Typically, costal cartilage is harvested with a length of around 3cm. This also varies depending on the patient's nose condition and surgical plan, so the exact amount to be harvested is determined through consultation with a specialist.
