About
Mini-Incision Autologous Rhinoplasty at Wanna Plastic Surgery
Autologous costal cartilage is the strongest and least likely to cause sagging of the tip of the nose among existing rhinoplasty materials. Therefore, if you want a fancy nose or need strong support for the tip of your nose, such as in the case of revision surgery, you may hesitate due to concerns about the most suitable material, pain at the surgical site, or surgical scars.
Wanna Plastic Surgery’s autologous rib rhinoplasty is a surgery that obtains a strong, sharp nose shape while reducing the burden of postoperative pain and scars by harvesting autologous rib cartilage through a minimal incision and dissection of approximately 2.5 cm. Wanna plastic Surgery’s autologous rhinoplasty can be performed using both sleep and general anesthesia methods depending on the patient’s convenience, and has the advantage of quick return to daily life after surgery due to minimal incision and dissection.

Costal cartilage refers to the chest cartilage located under the ribs.
Among the existing nose surgery materials, it is the safest, most durable, and has a low possibility of sagging the tip of the nose.
Therefore, it is the most suitable material if you want a fancy nose or if you need strong support for the tip of your nose, such as in the case of revision surgery.

The swelling in your nose will begin to decrease and you will be able to breathe easier once the stitches and tape are removed. The autologous rib harvest site may feel painful when you apply pressure to the abdomen, but it is bearable and will disappear after about a month.
Week 2-3
About 60-70% of the swelling disappears, and the swelling at the tip of the nose goes away slowly.

Swelling disappears by more than 90%, and minor swelling gradually disappears, making the tip of the nose soft.
