Autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage provides a stronger support than ear cartilage and nasal septal cartilage, making it possible to create a sharp nose shape. Autologous costal cartilage is mainly used when revision surgery, contracture nose, or reconstruction is required.
Depending on the case, costal cartilage number 7 to 9 is harvested, and surgery can be performed not only on the tip of the nose but also on the bridge of the nose.
(Wooahin Plastic Surgery Clinic does not use donated rib cartilage.)
