Understanding Autologous Costal Cartilage Rhinoplasty

Understanding Autologous Costal Cartilage Rhinoplasty

When you feel a lack in your appearance or believe improvement is needed,

plastic surgery often comes to mind.

Especially recently, with the lifting of the outdoor mask mandate for COVID-19,

many people are now paying more attention to their appearance management, which they had postponed.

Today, at Private Plastic Surgery, we would like to explore

rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage.

Rhinoplasty is one of the surgical methods where even small differences in height and shape

can lead to significant changes in facial image,

and various materials are used for it.

The main material for today's star, autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty,

involves harvesting cartilage from the patient's own ribs for the procedure,

which has the advantage of being stronger than other autologous tissues.

Furthermore, by using the patient's own autologous tissue,

concerns about postoperative side effects can be reduced,

and high satisfaction with shape retention can be maintained.

However, all of this can only be achieved when conducted with a dedicated medical professional,

after a thorough analysis of the rhinoplasty procedure and the overall proportion and image of the patient's face.

Therefore, careful consideration is needed before surgery.

Before that, let's once again look at the advantages of

rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage:

1. Because implants harvested from the patient's own body are used,

it can be advantageous for those who have a strong aversion to artificial implants.

2. It is stronger cartilage than septal or ear cartilage,

and is effective for maintaining the desired line after surgery.

3. It has a lower absorption rate compared to other tissues, so even after surgery,

changes in nose shape are less significant than with other tissues.

4. It can reduce implant inflammation and contracture.

Currently, Private Plastic Surgery, a hospital renowned for nose surgery, offers

various nose surgery methods such as low nose surgery, hooked nose surgery, bulbous nose surgery,

short nose surgery, long nose surgery, and crooked nose surgery.

To achieve a nose bridge line that suits the patient's face shape and aesthetic standards, such as a semi-upward curve, straight line, or semi-straight upward curve,

we also conduct thorough 1:1 customized consultations before surgery.

Our chief surgeons, with over 15 years of experience, provide close care from consultation to surgery and post-operative management.

We strive to perform surgeries safely with precise examinations using 3D-CT and a strict infection prevention system.

We have also introduced positive pressure ventilation, used in university hospitals, into our operating rooms to create a more comfortable and

trustworthy environment for surgery.

The nose is an organ that handles not only external but also functional aspects,

so an accurate understanding of the nose's condition is essential.
