Cartilage-Only Rhinoplasty: VIBE No-Implant Nose Surgery
A case study of a 20-year-old female achieving a refined, natural nose tip using only cartilage and dermis, without artificial implants.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Desired Outcome: I do not want to use artificial implants. I want to correct my drooping and bulbous nose tip!
* Consultation
1. The patient visited us seeking to correct a drooping nose tip without the use of artificial implants.
2. We decided to perform a natural yet definitive correction of the bulbous nose (blunt tip).
3. We planned VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature procedure! The ‘Cartilage-Only’ no-implant rhinoplasty.
* Surgical Plan
1. Nasal Bridge Surgery
- No-implant approach
- Used cartilage and dermis (Megaderm) instead of silicone to create a smooth and high bridge line.
2. Nose Tip Surgery
- Correction of long nose (drooping tip)
- Correction of bulbous nose
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a natural yet sharp nose tip. The patient was very satisfied as it gave her a more feminine and sophisticated appearance.
2. If there is no plan to significantly raise the bridge, a sharp and refined nose line can be achieved without using artificial implants.
3. For no-implant rhinoplasty, VIBE Plastic Surgery is the definitive choice!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
