VIBE Plastic Surgery's No-Implant Rhinoplasty (DANYEONKO) & Fat Grafting Case
Discover how VIBE Plastic Surgery achieved a refined look using autologous cartilage and forehead fat grafting for a natural, sophisticated profile without implants.
Hello. I am Yu Young-moon, the Representative Director of VIBE Plastic Surgery.
Today, I would like to introduce a case of ‘No-Implant Rhinoplasty (DANYEONKO)’ and fat grafting for a female patient in her 20s.
The ‘DAN! YEON! KO!’ no-implant rhinoplasty, which uses only cartilage, is the signature procedure of VIBE Plastic Surgery :)
👩 Patient’s Concerns
A blunt, bulbous nose that made the face look stuffy
Already had a high nasal bridge and did not want implants
A flat forehead that lacked three-dimensional volume
Most importantly,
👉 ‘I want a clear change, but I want to avoid revision surgery.’
🏥 Surgical Process
1. No-Implant Rhinoplasty (DANYEONKO)
Instead of implants, the patient’s own autologous rib cartilage was used to correct the nasal tip.
The blunt, bulbous nose was delicately refined to create a natural and sophisticated tip.
Since no implants are used, there is no foreign body sensation, and the possibility of future revision surgery is minimized.
**DANYEONKO (Rhinoplasty using only cartilage)** is VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature procedure that simultaneously achieves safety, naturalness, and high satisfaction.
The uneven areas of the nasal bridge were smoothed out using septal cartilage and acellular dermal matrix (Megaderm).
2. Forehead Fat Grafting
The patient’s own fat was grafted onto the forehead to create soft curves and volume.
By harmonizing the line between the nose and the forehead, the overall three-dimensional appearance of the face was significantly improved.
📸 Changes Before and After Surgery
As you can see in the photos above,
Front View – The blunt nasal tip has been refined, making the center of the face look more defined.
45-Degree Profile – The harmony between the forehead volume and the nasal tip creates a sophisticated line.
Side Profile – The nasal tip has been naturally extended, forming a straight and neat line even without implants.
Basal View – The shape of the nasal tip has been symmetrically corrected, and the bluntness has disappeared.
Notably, the smooth connection between the forehead and the nose line makes the entire face look much more three-dimensional.
✨ Patient’s Reaction After Surgery
The patient expressed great satisfaction, saying,
‘Is it really possible to change this naturally without any implants?’
While keeping her original nasal bridge height, she felt a clear change in her image just by improving the nasal tip and forehead volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 'Danyeonko' non-implant rhinoplasty?
'Danyeonko' is Vibe Plastic Surgery's signature non-implant rhinoplasty, a surgery that corrects the nasal tip using only autologous cartilage instead of implants. It simultaneously pursues safety, naturalness, and satisfaction, minimizing the possibility of revision surgery.
What materials are used in 'Danyeonko' surgery?
In 'Danyeonko' surgery, the patient's own autologous costal cartilage is primarily used to correct the nasal tip. The bridge of the nose is smoothly refined using the nasal septum and artificial dermis (Megaderm).
Who is non-implant rhinoplasty recommended for?
It is recommended for those who desire safe rhinoplasty without implants, or those concerned about a bulbous nose or a blunt nasal tip. It is also suitable for individuals who already have a high nasal bridge and do not need implants, or who wish to reduce the burden of revision surgery.
What effects can be expected from forehead fat grafting?
Forehead fat grafting can create a soft curve and volume by transplanting one's own fat into the forehead. It helps enhance the overall three-dimensionality of the face by harmonizing the lines of the nose and forehead.
Is there less foreign body sensation after non-implant rhinoplasty?
Yes, there is less foreign body sensation. 'Danyeonko' uses autologous cartilage instead of implants, so there is almost no foreign body sensation, and natural results can be expected.
