Q) Are side effects severe for rhinoplasty using donated rib cartilage?

A) Hello, I am Young-moon Yoo, the representative director of Vibe Plastic Surgery, here for 1-Minute Plastic Surgery.

Today, you asked the question, ‘Are side effects severe for rhinoplasty using donated rib cartilage?’

Rib cartilage is used in cases where the septal or ear cartilage is insufficient, when a high nasal bridge is preferred, or during revision surgery. Rib cartilage can be divided into two types: autologous and donated.

Donated cartilage undergoes thorough processing to ensure it does not cause issues within the body, so the probability of it causing immunological problems is virtually non-existent. However, in cases where the nose is raised excessively, if the patient smokes, or if it is one of several revision surgeries, blood circulation may be impaired. This can increase the likelihood of inflammation and lead to a higher absorption rate, which might cause the tip of the nose to droop or result in a shape different from what was expected. Therefore, while using donated rib cartilage is trouble-free in most cases, you must be aware that the probability of unwanted side effects increases if the surgery is pushed beyond your natural structural limits or if you continue to smoke.
