Hello~

​

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Seo Seung-jo, Director of Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

One of the concerns for those undergoing autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is

pain and scarring.

​

Since the rib cartilage is harvested from your own body, many people worry that the harvest site will be very painful,

​

and because the scar is located around the rib area, some women worry that it might be visible

when wearing a bikini or a crop top.

​

Today, we will look into how much scarring and pain you can expect during autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty.

​

Is the pain severe during autologous rib cartilage surgery? How much scarring will be left?

If the fascia, muscle, and periosteum are well preserved and the rib cartilage is harvested partially rather than entirely

(maintaining the continuity of the harvested rib cartilage), there is almost no pain.

​

The scar can range from 1.5cm to 4cm.

Of course, the length of the scar may vary depending on the surgeon's skill level,

but generally, for patients who are thin and have highly elastic skin, it can be as short as 1.5cm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the pain severe at the cartilage harvest site during autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty?

No, there is almost no pain. By preserving the fascia, muscles, and periosteum during surgery and harvesting only a portion of the costal cartilage to maintain continuity, pain at the harvest site can be minimized.

How much scarring is left after autologous costal cartilage harvest?

Generally, a scar of about 1.5cm to 4cm remains. The size of the scar can vary depending on the skill of the medical staff performing the surgery, and also differs according to the patient's skin condition.

Are there specific conditions that can minimize scar size?

Yes, it is advantageous for patients who are thin and have elastic skin. For patients with these physical conditions, the incision can be minimized during surgery, reducing the scar length to as short as 1.5cm.

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

It is mainly harvested from the side of the body. Many people worry that the scar might be visible when wearing a bikini or a short top, but with skilled surgery, the incision site can be minimized.
