What is a rib nose? Who is suitable for taking autogenous costal cartilage as nasal support?

1. What is a rib nose

Rib nose usually refers to a rhinoplasty method in which one's own costal cartilage (mostly the 6 and 7 ribs) is used as the nasal support material. Medically, it belongs to "autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty." Unlike allogeneic materials, costal cartilage comes from the beauty seeker itself and is often used in situations where strong support is needed or repair conditions are limited.

2. Who might consider

• The foundation of the nose is weak and the skin tension is limited, requiring more stable support;

• Those who are dissatisfied with their postoperative morphology in other places and need repair and reconstruction;

• Those who have concerns about foreign materials and tend to "take their own" solutions;

• Those with insufficient tip support and want a more three-dimensional and stable shape.

3. Technical points

The choice and carving of the costal cartilage is the key: how much it takes, how it carves, and which layer of support it places directly affect the final shape and stability. Dean Liu Chaofeng emphasized "putting the nose back into the overall proportion of the face and evaluating it" rather than raising the bridge of the nose alone.
