Benefits of autologous
rib cartilage rhinoplasty

The Strongest Rib Cartilage
— the 6th and 7th Costal Cartilage

The material used in rhinoplasty is critical to the outcome.
Among autologous rib cartilage options,
the 6th and 7th costal cartilage are the most durable and long-lasting.

Autologous Cartilage? VS Allogenic Cartilage?

In cases where septal cartilage cannot be used due to septal deviation, rib cartilage must be used.
For patients concerned about bruising or pain, allogenic cartilage can be a viable option.
While not as ideal as autologous cartilage, allogenic cartilage can be a sufficiently good material.

Autologous Cartilage
VS: Allogenic Cartilage

Low absorption and infection risk
Less likely to deform after surgery
Can harvest a sufficient amount

Advantages

No bruising, faster surgery
(same as septal cartilage surgery)
- Stronger than septal cartilage

Requires experienced surgeon
Pain at rib harvest site
Linear scar on the chest

Disadvantages

Additional cost for allogenic cartilage
Risk of infection
Partial absorption over time
May need additional cartilage harvesting
