Implant-Free Rhinoplasty

Safe and beautiful rhinoplasty without concerns about inflammation!

Implant-free rhinoplasty is a highly advanced surgical technique performed without using artificial implants such as Silicone implants or Gore-Tex on the Nasal Bridge . It significantly reduces the likelihood of inflammation / Capsular contracture symptoms.

What Is Implant-Free Rhinoplasty?

The greatest concerns with rhinoplasty are inflammation and Capsular contracture symptoms that may occur after surgery. In general, inflammatory reactions in rhinoplasty often arise from inserted artificial implants. Therefore, implant-free rhinoplasty has a significantly lower likelihood of inflammation. If you are concerned about possible postoperative inflammation or Capsular contracture, we recommend implant-free rhinoplasty.

Cases Suitable for Implant-Free Rhinoplasty

When an Implant Is Not Needed

When the existing Nasal Bridge is high enough that an Implant does not need to be inserted

Nasal Tip Surgery Only

When only Nasal Tip surgery is performed due to reluctance toward implants, even if the existing Nasal Bridge is not high

Implant-free rhinoplasty, which does not use implants, is broadly suitable for two types of cases: when the existing Nasal Bridge is high enough that an Implant is unnecessary, or when only Nasal Tip surgery is desired due to reluctance toward implants even if the existing Nasal Bridge is not high.

Implant-Free Rhinoplasty Methods

Implant-free rhinoplasty mainly uses Autologous Cartilage and is performed using different methods in two primary types of cases.

Implant-Free Rhinoplasty (When an Implant Is Not Needed Because the Nasal Bridge Is High)

Step 1: If there is a dorsal hump on the Nasal Bridge, remove the hump; if the hump removal area is wide, osteotomy is also performed. If the Nasal Bridge is simply wide, only osteotomy is performed.

Step 2: Perform Nasal Tip surgery using Autologous Cartilage. Complete a line that naturally connects the Nasal Bridge to the Nasal Tip.

Nasal Tip Surgery (When Only Nasal Tip Surgery Is Performed Because There Is No Significant Issue With the Nasal Bridge)

Step 1: Nasal Tip surgery using Autologous Cartilage.

Step 2: Smoothly connect the junction between the Nasal Bridge and Nasal Tip with Autologous Cartilage to prevent an uneven nasal line.

Know-How for Preventing Revision surgery Using the Nasal Bridge and Cartilage

To address the issue of absorption in the body when using Autologous Cartilage, the cartilage is finely crushed and secured to create the most ideal nasal line for the Face.

Procedure Process

STEP 01. Rib Cartilage Crushing

Evenly crush the harvested Rib Cartilage.

STEP 02. Shape Creation

Harden the Rib Cartilage particles with a special solution to create the shape.

STEP 03. Nasal Bridge Insertion

After shaping the nasal line, inject the Rib Cartilage particles into the nose.

Less than 1% revision surgery rate due to absorption in the body when using the cartilage-crushing method

* The cartilage-crushing surgical method, also called No-Implant Rhinoplasty, is already a common surgical method overseas. However, because it takes a long time and requires more than twice the effort and concentration compared with conventional rhinoplasty, it is very difficult to perform without know-how gained through numerous cases.

Thorough 0.01 mm Analysis to Prevent Revision surgery

Hannive Plastic Surgery analyzes in 0.01 mm units from every angle based on 3D-CT imaging. The current condition is comparatively analyzed, and rhinoplasty is ultimately performed after sufficient consultation with the medical staff.

Types and Characteristics of Autologous Cartilage

Hannive Plastic Surgery provides the most suitable solution.

Ear Cartilage

Autologous Tissue that naturally shapes the Nasal Tip and has less show-through

Septal Cartilage

Cartilage inside the nose and the most basic Autologous Tissue used in rhinoplasty

Rib Cartilage

An Implant used when Ear Cartilage or Septal Cartilage is insufficient or when firmer Cartilage is needed

Autologous Dermal Fat

Autologous Tissue used when the skin on the nasal dorsum is thin or Soft Tissue is insufficient

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant-Free Rhinoplasty

Q. What materials are used for implant-free rhinoplasty?

A. Septal Cartilage or septal bone, Ear Cartilage, ear dermis, breast cartilage, breast cartilage membrane, Buttocks dermis, and donor tissues (Donor Rib Cartilage and donor dermis) are mainly used. Only safe and proven materials are used.

Q. Will it be noticeable even on an X-ray?

A. Because implant-free rhinoplasty uses materials with components such as actual human dermis or Cartilage, it is not visible at all on X-ray examinations used at airports or hospitals.

Q. I am concerned about tissue rejection after surgery.

A. Only materials from which HLA (Human leucocyte antigen), a substance that causes immune rejection after transplantation, has been removed are used, so the likelihood of tissue rejection is very low.

Q. Are donor dermis/cartilage products used as materials safe?

A. Only Donor Rib Cartilage/dermis approved by the U.S. FDA and Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety are used for rhinoplasty. They are characterized by excellent tissue compatibility and safety.
