1. What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to adjust the shape and size of the nose, with or without structural modification. Depending on each individual case, the surgeon may perform a simple nasal bridge augmentation or comprehensively reshape the entire nasal structure to achieve a higher, well-defined, and balanced nose that harmonizes with the overall facial features.

- Cartilage material: The procedure uses the patient’s own rib cartilage for nasal shaping. As an autologous material, rib cartilage offers high biocompatibility and significantly reduces the risk of rejection.
- Cartilage harvesting technique: Rib cartilage is harvested using modern endoscopic techniques, which help minimize invasiveness, reduce scarring, and support faster recovery.
- Medical team: The surgery is performed by experienced aesthetic surgeons with expertise in managing complex and revision rhinoplasty cases. Each patient undergoes a thorough assessment, and a customized surgical plan is developed based on the specific nasal condition.
