Procedure Steps

Pre-op: 3D photogrammetry + CT for nasal anatomy + harvest site assessment

Patient consultation + simulation rendering

General anesthesia + local infiltration

Rib harvest: 6-7th rib cartilage (3-5cm segment) — 4cm submammary incision

Cartilage carving: dorsal augmentation graft + tip support graft + columellar strut

Open rhinoplasty: alar cartilage exposure via columellar incision

Septorhinoplasty: dorsal hump reduction + osteotomies + tip refinement

Cartilage graft placement + fine-tuning of tip projection/rotation

What is Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty?

For complex rhinoplasty cases requiring substantial structural augmentation (dorsal hump correction with augmentation, severe asymmetry, revision cases), autologous costal (rib) cartilage provides abundant, strong, biocompatible material. Excellent for Asian rhinoplasty patients seeking dorsal projection and tip refinement.

Why China?

Cost: $4,500-$9,500 vs. $15,000-$28,000 in the US
High volume Asian rhinoplasty: Plastic surgeons see 100s of cases/year — superior aesthetic sense for East Asian face
Hybrid techniques: Combined diced cartilage + fascia (Tasman/Kelly) for smooth dorsum
Revision expertise: Salvage cases with prior silicone/Gore-Tex complications

Who is a candidate?

Patients seeking significant dorsal augmentation (3+ mm)
Revision rhinoplasty cases
Severe nasal trauma or congenital deformity
Patients who refuse silicone/synthetic implants
Inadequate septal cartilage for harvest

Outcomes

Long-term aesthetic stability: excellent (autologous tissue). Warping rate: 5-10% with proper carving. Donor site morbidity: minor scar + mild discomfort 2-4 weeks. Pneumothorax risk: <0.5%.
