[VIBE Plastic Surgery] Achieving a Natural Nose Line with No-Implant Rhinoplasty – A Case Study of a Woman in Her 20s Unsatisfied with Hiko Procedures ✨

Hello, I am Dr. Yoo Young-moon, Director of VIBE Plastic Surgery.

Today, I would like to introduce a rhinoplasty case of a very beautiful and vibrant female patient in her 20s.

Although she already had a beautiful face with large, clear eyes, she always felt a bit disappointed by her blunt and drooping nose shape.

Nose Concerns That Hidden a Beautiful Face 😢

The patient already had large eyes and great facial proportions that many would envy, but her nose appeared slightly blunt and saggy, making her face look less sophisticated. Consequently, she had previously tried bridge fillers and ‘Hiko’ (thread lift) procedures, but because she did not achieve the desired effect, she ultimately decided to undergo surgery.

Removal of Foreign Substances Found During Surgery!

Before proceeding with the surgery, all existing fillers were dissolved. During the operation, we discovered that Hiko threads from her past procedure remained inside the nose. Since foreign substances can cause inflammation or deformation over time, we safely removed them.

No-Implant Rhinoplasty + Megaderm Supplementary Graft 🦴✨

This surgery was performed as a ‘no-implant rhinoplasty’ to preserve the harmony of the patient’s face.

• Septal Cartilage: Acts as the pillar and support for the nasal tip.
• Ear Cartilage: Naturally and softly reinforces the bridge and tip.
• Dermis (Megaderm) Graft: Plays a supporting role in smoothing out areas where the bridge might otherwise appear uneven.

In short, we completed a stable and natural nose line using autologous tissue and a dermis graft without the use of artificial implants.

Post-Operative Changes 💖

The transformation after surgery was truly remarkable.

• ✔ The blunt and drooping impression disappeared, replaced by a sophisticated and three-dimensional ‘straight-semi-curved’ nose line.
• ✔ Achieved natural and stable results even without using artificial implants.
• ✔ The smooth nasal bridge made the entire face appear much brighter and more harmonious.

The patient herself was highly satisfied, remarking, ‘I feel like my face is finally complete now,’ while looking in the mirror. 😊

We Recommend No-Implant Rhinoplasty for Those Who:

• Have a pretty face but feel their impression is dull due to a blunt or drooping nose.
• Are unsatisfied with the results of fillers or Hiko procedures.
• Want a natural rhinoplasty using only autologous cartilage instead of implants.
• Desire a smooth nasal bridge line without irregularities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in non-implant rhinoplasty?

Non-implant rhinoplasty utilizes autologous tissue instead of implants. Septal cartilage is primarily used for the nasal columella and tip support, while ear cartilage is used for dorsal augmentation and tip reinforcement. Dermal (Megaderm) grafting is also used as an adjunct to smooth the nasal dorsum.

Is non-implant rhinoplasty possible if I've had fillers or Hiko procedures in the past?

Yes, it is possible. Any existing fillers are dissolved before surgery, and foreign substances like Hiko threads remaining from past procedures, which can cause inflammation or deformation, are safely removed during surgery before proceeding with the rhinoplasty.

Who is recommended for non-implant rhinoplasty?

Non-implant rhinoplasty is recommended for those with a dull or drooping nose that gives a stuffy impression, those unsatisfied with filler or Hiko procedures, those who desire natural rhinoplasty with autologous cartilage without implants, and those who want a smooth nasal bridge line.

What changes can I expect after non-implant rhinoplasty?

After surgery, the dull and drooping impression disappears, and a sophisticated and立体 semi-upturned nose line can be achieved. Even without implants, natural and stable results can be obtained, and the smoothed nasal dorsum makes the entire face appear much brighter and more harmonious.

What are the advantages of non-implant rhinoplasty?

The advantage of non-implant rhinoplasty is that it uses only autologous tissue without implants, achieving natural and stable results. It reduces concerns about foreign body rejection or side effects, and creates a long-lasting, satisfactory nose line that enhances overall facial harmony.
