What is JT Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty?

With Autologous Rib Cartilage, achieve a natural yet sturdy nasal line!

Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure in which the patient's own chest cartilage is harvested and used as a support structure during Nasal Tip surgery when Septal Cartilage is weak or insufficient.

As Autologous Cartilage, it is the strongest Cartilage used for the Nasal Tip, allowing you to create a safer and sturdier Nasal Tip.

JT Rhinoplasty Materials

Because every individual's nasal condition is different, ideal rhinoplasty requires using the Implant and materials most suitable for you.

Rhinoplasty Biological Tissues

Septal Cartilage

Septal Cartilage inside the nose has appropriate thickness and strength, making it suitable for use as a structural pillar to support the Nasal Tip.

Ear Cartilage

Cartilage from inside the ear is used to shape the Nasal Bridge/Nasal Tip area

Autologous Rib Cartilage

Cartilage is harvested from the end of the rib. Because it is sturdy, it can provide stronger support to elevate the nose.

Donor Rib Cartilage

This is Rib Cartilage from another person that has been processed to prevent an immune response. It can be conveniently used without a separate harvesting procedure.

Autologous Dermal Graft

This Autologous Dermal Graft is harvested from the groin or tailbone area and is used when the skin on the Nasal Bridge is thin or there is insufficient Soft Tissue in the nose.

Autologous Fascia

This refers to the thin membrane surrounding muscles; temporalis fascia located mainly in the scalp above the ear and temple area is used.

Nasal Bridge Implants

Silicone implant

This is the most commonly used material and is the safest material approved by the U.S. FDA.

AlloDerm

This is a dermal tissue graft made by removing cellular components that may cause immune reactions from the dermal layer of another person's skin, leaving only the tissue structure composed of collagen and elastic fibers.

JT Plastic Surgery uses only biological tissues and Implants whose safety and efficacy have been verified through domestic and international academic societies and papers, and which have been certified by credible institutions such as CE, FDA, and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
