Hello~

​

💎your beauty universe! This is Dr. Shim Jeong-hwan from Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

To achieve perfect results with a single rhinoplasty,

it is important to choose the nose shape you desire along with the surgical method and materials most suitable for you.

The nose is important not only from the front but also from the side and profile angles.

Depending on the specific case—whether it's a low nasal bridge, an upturned nose, a short nose, or a hump nose—

the surgical method and materials can vary.

​

For materials, ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and rib cartilage are mainly used for the nasal tip,

while silicone is typically used for the nasal bridge. However, these days,

the number of cases using autologous rib cartilage is also increasing.

​

Today, let's find out if it is okay to use autologous rib cartilage for your primary rhinoplasty.

Is it okay to use autologous rib cartilage for primary rhinoplasty?

I believe it is perfectly fine to use it

as long as you do not mind the scar at the rib cartilage harvesting site.

Of course, if the septal cartilage is sufficient, I don't think there is a need to use autologous rib cartilage,

and even if the septal cartilage is insufficient, reinforcing it with donated rib cartilage

can still yield excellent results,

so the choice ultimately depends on the patient's preference.

Today, we discussed the use of autologous rib cartilage in primary rhinoplasty.

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