Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

#Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty (Donor, Autologous)

Semi-permanent rhinoplasty without revision surgery!

Rib cartilage is the soft, translucent cartilage portion at the end of the ribs, also known as costal cartilage. The 6th to 9th ribs are mainly used. Because it is firmer than ear cartilage or septal cartilage, it can provide strong nasal support and is commonly used for revision or reconstructive rhinoplasty.

#Long-lasting Nasal Tip Support

#Reduced Inflammation and Side Effects

#Semi-permanent Results

Candidates for Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

- Those who want a higher nasal tip

- Those who are reluctant to use artificial implants

- Those who require revision surgery due to complications (contracted nose, saddle nose, implant-related complications, etc.)

Rib Cartilage Harvesting Process

*A - Rib cartilage harvesting through an incision in the chest or flank

# Rib cartilage harvesting after incision (minimal 2–3 cm incision)

The subcutaneous layer is closed with absorbable sutures, and the skin surface is carefully sutured to minimize scarring. Showering is possible from 2–3 days after surgery.

*A - Trimmed into a shape that matches the design

# Sculpting the harvested rib cartilage into the required shape

Drawing on extensive expertise and advanced techniques, the rib cartilage is custom crafted by anticipating cartilage characteristics and its eventual settled shape.

# Rib cartilage placement in the precise location

Correction that takes both aesthetic and functional aspects into account to effectively improve current concerns, such as a short nose or a drooping nasal tip.

Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

01

What Is Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty?

Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is a method of augmenting or reconstructing the nose using your own rib cartilage (costal cartilage). It may be considered when firmer and sufficient tissue is needed, such as for a contracted nose, severe deformity, or revision surgery, and is planned after a precise assessment of the internal nasal condition.

02

It May Be Considered If You Have These Concerns.

✓ When firm support is needed for revision surgery

✓ When the nose has become shortened or upturned due to contracture

✓ When there is insufficient septal cartilage

✓ When you want to provide stable support for the nasal tip

Because autologous rib cartilage provides strong support, expertise in harvesting and sculpting is important. Please consult an experienced specialist.
