R U NOSE Plastic Surgery
‘"Structural Stability of the Nose"
Performing rhinoplasty is akin to constructing a solid building.
Creating a physically sturdy and stable structure reduces the possibility of revision surgeries.
Reliable Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty
with Reliable Autologous Rib Cartilage
Using rib cartilage as a structural reinforcement material ensures
stability while achieving the desired length and height for the nasal tip.
Once the nasal tip shape is determined, various materials
are carefully selected and used to create the optimal dorsal height.
Autologous Rib Cartilage vs Donated Rib Cartilage
RU Plastic Surgery uses materials such as autologous rib cartilage
and silicone to perform nasal tip and bridge surgeries.

Minimal incision under the breast
01. Rib Cartilage HarvestingA small incision of approximately
2–3 cm is made along the chest fold
to harvest the required amount of
autologous rib cartilage. -
02. Nasal Tip Sculpting
with Rib CartilageThe harvested rib cartilage is shaped thinly
and used to reinforce the nasal tip,
achieving the desired structure
in the correct position. -

is carefully cut and meticulously implanted
into the desired area. -

04. Rib cartilage processed
as a graft materialsThe rib cartilage is wrapped in fascia and
processed into the desired shape for grafting. -

Minimal incision under the breast
01. Harvesting Rib CartilageUsing a minimal incision of approximately
2–3 cm along the chest line, the necessary
amount of autologous rib cartilage is harvested. -
02. Nasal Tip Shaping with
Cartilage ReinforcementUsing thinly trimmed rib cartilage,
cartilage reinforcement and extension surgery
is performed to create an appropriately
positioned nasal tip. -
03. Periosteum Dissection
on the Nasal BoneThe periosteum of the nasal bone is dissected
to allow the silicone implant to be placed within it. -
04. Shaping the SiliconeThe silicone is designed and shaped
to optimally match the nasal contour. -

05. Inserting the SiliconeThe shaped silicone is inserted according
to the patient's nasal design.
Reliable Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty
-
Point 01
Abundant Cartilage Volume
Compared to other types of cartilage, a larger volume can be
harvested, allowing for a more defined nasal shape. -
Point 02
Strong Durability
Among cartilage types, it has the strongest support and
integrates well, maintaining a beautiful nasal shape over time
without deformation. -
Point 03
Low complication rate
By using autologous tissue instead of synthetic cartilage,
the likelihood of foreign body sensation, inflammation,
and complications can be reduced.
Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is recommended
for the following individuals.
At RU Plastic Surgery, we recommend autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty for individuals
who meet the criteria below. In fact, most Asians may fall into this category.
-
01
When the nose is
small and short -
02
When the nose is long and
the facial muscles are strong,
causing the nasal tip to droop -
03
When the skin is
thick and heavy -
04
When repeated nasal
surgeries have depleted
available autologous cartilage -
05
When there is
columellar retraction
