Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

​

Rhinoplasty is the second most preferred surgery after double eyelid surgery for both women and men!

In rhinoplasty, the surgical methods and materials vary depending on the individual's skin, alar, height, and width.

Sometimes artificial implants are used, and other times autologous cartilage is used.

​

Recently, rhinoplasty using rib cartilage has been gaining popularity.

Rib cartilage is located in the lower chest area, and compared to other cartilages, it has stronger durability and

support, which offers the advantage of creating a high, defined nose without drooping.

Also, because it is your own tissue, compared to donated cartilage,

the probability of side effects is lower.

​

Today, let's find out in which cases rib cartilage is recommended.

​

Why do we recommend rib cartilage?

1. When strong support is needed due to contracture, or if the cartilage is congenitally small and the skin does not stretch well,

2. When more cartilage is needed to correct a deviated nose,

3. When you want to raise the nose significantly compared to the amount of septal cartilage you have,

4. When the septal cartilage has already been used or its size is noticeably small,

5. When the supporting cartilage required is much larger or greater in amount than your own septal cartilage size.

In these cases, we recommend rib cartilage.

​

​

Many people worry about whether a scar will remain after harvesting rib cartilage.

Since the size of the scar varies depending on the incision site,

it is best to proceed with only a minimal incision.

Also, since using rib cartilage may not necessarily be the best method for everyone,

it is important to have a thorough consultation with the medical team to determine the most suitable material for you

before proceeding with the surgery to achieve highly satisfying results.
