Let's Learn About Implant-Free Rhinoplasty with Dr. Yoo Young-moon!

In the past, artificial implants

like silicone and Gore-Tex

were used to raise the nasal bridge,

but nowadays, many people

are paying attention to implant-free rhinoplasty.

​

​

​

​

​

​

Operating without implants

not only eliminates the aversion to them

but also reduces worries about

implant-related side effects.

​

That is why here at Vibe,

where Dr. Yoo Young-moon is,

we will be talking about

implant-free rhinoplasty in our latest YouTube content.

​

​

​

What is implant-free rhinoplasty?

As the name suggests, implant-free rhinoplasty

is a method of performing nose surgery

without the use of silicone implants.

​

​

​

What are the pros and cons of going implant-free?

The biggest advantage is that since silicone is not used,

you can undergo the surgery without

any anxiety about silicone implants.

​

By using your own septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or rib cartilage,

there is no use of foreign materials,

which is a major benefit.

​

On the other hand, the disadvantage is that for those with a low nose type,

implant-free surgery can be difficult.

If someone with a low nasal bridge

only raises their nasal tip,

the aesthetic satisfaction will likely drop, right?

Therefore, for those with a low nose,

we recommend the standard rhinoplasty method.

​

​

​

Who is recommended for implant-free rhinoplasty?

Those who already have a high nasal bridge,

for example, those with a high bridge

due to a dorsal hump,

are highly recommended for this procedure.

​

First of all, through a consultation

with Dr. Yoo Young-moon,

we recommend proceeding with the implant-free method

for those who do not

need an implant.

​

​

​

Is the difficulty of implant-free rhinoplasty lower than standard rhinoplasty?

Implant-free rhinoplasty is a surgery

that raises the nose using your own cartilage,

so it must be carefully calculated and stacked

so that the area does not look bumpy.

​

Therefore, compared to standard rhinoplasty,

it can take relatively more time

or be more complex to perform.

​

​

​

Is revision surgery possible?

If you had an implant-free procedure

and the nasal tip drops later on,

you can have a revision surgery using the implant-free method.

​

If implants were inserted

during the previous surgery, precise examinations are required,

so we recommend determining whether to proceed

through a consultation with our specialist doctor

and precision testing equipment.

​

​

​

Can I get nose fillers after implant-free rhinoplasty?

You might consider getting nose fillers

after implant-free rhinoplasty.

While it can be considered safer

than standard rhinoplasty,

since the filler itself is a foreign substance,

there is a concern that filler-related

side effects may occur.

​

Therefore, regarding this matter,

we recommend proceeding through a consultation

with a board-certified plastic surgeon highly knowledgeable in rhinoplasty.
