Frequently Asked Questions

What is non-implant rhinoplasty?

Non-implant rhinoplasty is a surgical method that improves the shape of the nose using only autologous tissue without artificial implants. It is mainly suitable for patients with a high nasal bridge or a hooked nose, and focuses on creating a natural nose line.

When is autologous costal cartilage used?

Autologous costal cartilage is mainly used when the nasal tip is droopy, or in cases of a bulbous nose, or when the support of the nose needs to be strengthened. Since the patient's own cartilage is used, the risk of foreign body reactions or side effects can be reduced.

Non-implant rhinoplasty can resolve various nose shape concerns such as correcting a hooked nose, a bulbous nose, or a long nose. It is especially suitable for patients who do not wish to use implants.

What are the possible side effects after surgery?

After surgery, various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur. These side effects may vary from person to person, so sufficient consultation and caution are required before surgery.
