Hello~

your beauty universe! I am Dr. Seo Seung-jo, head director of Uverse Plastic Surgery :)💚

Because the nose is located in the center of the face, changing just its height

can give the overall image a three-dimensional change,

making it one of the most preferred surgical areas after the eyes.

​

Depending on each individual's nasal bridge height, skin, width, and alar shape,

the surgical method varies, but generally, the materials used are

silicone for the nasal bridge, and septal cartilage or ear cartilage for the nasal tip.

​

However, recently, there has been a high reluctance toward these artificial implants,

so more people prefer autologous cartilage, leading to an increase in autologous cartilage surgery cases.

​

Autologous rib cartilage is stronger than other materials, and it has the advantage

of providing a sufficient amount and length of material.

​

However, because it also has the disadvantage of potentially leaving a slight scar,

it is not preferred by those who feel burdened by scarring.

​

Then, are there recommended cases where autologous rib cartilage must be used?

​

"What are the recommended cases for autologous rib cartilage?

It would be most efficient to use it in cases

that can best utilize the characteristics of autologous rib cartilage (firmness and large quantity).

Therefore, it is highly recommended for very short noses, contracted noses, severely deviated noses, and saddle nose reconstruction surgeries.

Today, we looked into the recommended cases for autologous rib cartilage.

Because autologous cartilage has its pros and cons, a pre-operative consultation with a specialist is very important.

​

For this reason, rather than visiting the clinic with a surgery plan using only one specific material,

we recommend choosing the right material for you through a consultation with a specialist.
