Hello~

your beauty universe! I am Dr. Shim Jung-hwan, head of Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💚

Rhinoplasty has become the most popular surgery after eye surgery.

Since Asians often have a low nasal bridge and a blunt nasal tip,

many people choose to improve their image through nose surgery.

However, because everyone's nose shape is different, it can be difficult to achieve fully satisfying results.

​

​

Typical side effects after rhinoplasty include

capsular contracture and implant deviation, but

sometimes patients also report that their nasal tip cartilage is visible through the skin.

Usually, when performing rhinoplasty, artificial implants like silicone are used for the nasal bridge, while autologous cartilage is used for the nasal tip.

​

There are patients who inquire about the tip cartilage showing through after surgery.

​

Today, let's find out the reasons why the nasal tip cartilage becomes visible.

Why does the nasal tip cartilage show through?

As the nose is elevated, the skin becomes thinner,

which can cause the edges of the cartilage to be visible from the outside.

It is important to carefully smooth the edges of the cartilage and ensure the skin does not become too thin.

​

Today, we learned about the visibility of nasal tip cartilage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are mainly used for the nasal tip during nose surgery?

Autologous cartilage is mainly used. While artificial implants like silicone are inserted into the nasal bridge, it is common to use the patient's own autologous cartilage for nasal tip plasty to create a natural shape and reduce side effects.

What causes the nasal tip cartilage to show through after nose surgery?

This happens because the skin becomes thinner as the nose is raised. When the nasal tip is raised during surgery, the overlying skin is stretched thinly, which can cause the boundaries of the internal cartilage to show through.

How can the phenomenon of cartilage showing through the nasal tip be prevented?

It is important to properly finish the cartilage edges and be careful not to make the skin too thin. During surgery, it is crucial to smoothly process the ends of the cartilage and avoid excessively raising the nose, considering the patient's skin thickness and tension.

What are the typical side effects that can occur after rhinoplasty?

These include contracture, implant displacement, and cartilage visibility. To minimize these side effects, it is essential to accurately assess the individual's nose shape and skin condition and establish a safe surgical plan accordingly.
