Autologous Rib Cartilage Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is a highly complex and difficult surgery due to tissue damage, scarring,
and capsule formation from previous procedures. Since ear cartilage and septal cartilage are often already used in earlier surgeries,
autologous rib cartilage, with its abundant quantity and strong support,
is recommended.
  • 01 Length of rib cartilage harvest scar
  • 02 Correction of previous surgical issues
  • 03 Secondary shaping of harvested cartilage
  • 04 Cartilage perichondrium suturing technique
However, even with the same material, surgical outcomes vary significantly depending on the surgeon’s expertise.
At Chamin, the chief director, with extensive knowledge and experience in rib cartilage,
personally performs every step
of the process—from harvesting, to surgery, and suturing.
Are You Considering Revision Rhinoplasty for These Reasons?
  • Drooping Nasal Tip / Dissatisfaction with Shape

  • Inflammation and Contracture After Surgery

  • Implant Visibility or Displacement

  • Crooked Nose / Nostril Asymmetry

Many people consider revision rhinoplasty for various reasons but hesitate out of fear of another failure.
Chamin knows how to make your surgery the final revision rhinoplasty.
Key Points of Autologous Rib Cartilage Revision Rhinoplasty
Even with the same surgery and the same materials, the results can differ.
  • POINT 1. Strong Nasal Support

    Using rib cartilage ensures a safe and solid nasal support that maintains projection over time.

  • POINT 2. Proper Cartilage Grafting

    Through precise dissection and proper cartilage grafting, tissue damage is minimized and a stable internal nasal structure is formed.

  • POINT 3. Complex Skin Grafting

    In cases of severe skin damage, complex skin grafting is performed to repair and improve the defective areas.

Why Autologous Rib Cartilage Should Be Used
Using safe materials is the best way to prevent complications.
  • POINT 1. Abundant Amount of Cartilage

    Among autologous cartilages, rib cartilage provides the most abundant amount, making it the ideal material to achieve the desired nasal height and overall contour.

  • POINT 2. Strong Support

    With strong support and durability, it maintains a defined nasal line over time, forming a stable nasal pillar and support structure.

  • POINT 3. Autologous Tissue (Rib Cartilage)

    Because it is autologous tissue, the risk of complications or inflammation is very low, and since it is not absorbed, there is minimal change in shape over time.

Why choose Chamin for Autologous Rib Cartilage?
Even with the same surgery and same materials, the results can differ.
  • 1. Unique ~1.5cm Incision

    Many worry about long scars after rib cartilage harvesting.
    With Dr. Min Sung-ki’s advanced technique, Chamin harvests
    sufficient rib cartilage through a minimal incision of only ~1.5cm.
  • 2. Secondary Sculpting Technique

    The key of Chamin rhinoplasty lies in the advanced skill
    and expertise of secondary sculpting the harvested
    rib cartilage to match the patient’s nasal shape.
  • 3. Delicate Perichondrium Suturing

    After harvesting, delicate suturing of the perichondrium
    reduces post-surgical pain, minimizes scarring,
    and allows for a faster return to daily life.
  • 4. Precise Placement of Rib Cartilage

    Rib cartilage is placed precisely according to nasal
    length and tip position,
    followed by firm correction
    to address structural issues.

* Postoperative complications such as bleeding, infection, or inflammation may occur, and the severity can vary from person to person. Careful attention and monitoring are required.

Trustworthy Chamin Plastic Surgery
  • 01
    At Chamin, communication with patients is
    considered the top priority.

    A successful outcome is built on clear communication. A thorough consultation is essential for your doctor to fully understand your nasal condition, your unique features, and the best results we can achieve together.

    At Chamin, we conduct thorough consultations to determine the most beautiful nose line for each individual, whether it be a straight-slight curve, gentle curve, or straight line

  • 02
    We thoroughly analyze the causes
    of previous surgical failures.

    Revision rhinoplasty is more complex than the first surgery,
    as it often involves tissue damage and scar tissue from the previous operation.

    We carefully analyze the reasons for failure
    to create a precise surgical plan.

  • 03
    To prevent further revisions,
    we focus on restoring damaged tissues.

    Revision surgery requires recovery and reconstruction due to structural changes caused by the prior surgery.

    At Chamin, even if the surgery takes longer, we strive to restore nasal structures
    as much as possible, proceeding with surgery only after healing if tissue damage is severe.

One-and-Only Nose Revision Solution
The causes of revision rhinoplasty are highly varied, so surgical methods must differ depending on the nose’s condition.
At Chamin, we precisely analyze the actual cause of prior surgery, tissue damage, and scar tissue,
creating a tailored surgical plan for each individual.
The success of revision rhinoplasty depends greatly on the surgeon’s experience and precise judgment.
At Chamin, Dr. Min Sung-ki, a highly experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, personally guides patients through every step
from consultation and surgery to treatment and recovery.
