3D Autologous Rib Cartilage Mold Rhinoplasty
Rib Fit Nose
01
Costal Cartilage (Rib Cartilage)
Rib cartilage provides the largest amount of cartilage available for rhinoplasty, allowing it to be
used in various areas from the nasal bridge to the tip.
Because obtaining healthy autologous tissue safely is essential, the harvesting technique and
donor site are especially important.
02
Conventional Silicone
Potential concerns include contracture, infection, foreign-body sensation, implant visibility, and shifting.
03
Your Own Rib Fit Nose
- Biocompatible autologous tissue
- Strong structural support from your own cartilage
- Custom-shaped with 3D molding

Beauty That Holds Its Shape
Rib Fit Nose
01
Molding, Not Carving
Autologous rib cartilage requires a completely different approach
to shaping.
At Girin Plastic Surgery Clinic, the cartilage is finely processed using advanced equipment, then molded to match the desired nasal shape
rather than simply carved.
02
Minimizing the Risk of Warping
A common concern with conventional autologous rib rhinoplasty is
warping over time.
Rib Fit Nose uses a molding process designed to utilize the structural support of rib cartilage while minimizing warping.
03
3D Print-Based Mold
Every nose is different.
Before surgery, we determine the desired nasal shape through
simulation and create a custom 3D-printed mold based on the
planned design.
04
Designed with Time in Mind
The key to Rib Fit Nose at Girin Plastic Surgery Clinic is designing the rib cartilage with greater flexibility in mind.
This approach considers how the nose may naturally change over time, helping maintain a stable and natural-looking shape long term.
How Rib Fit Nose Is Created
STEP 01
A 3D CT scan is performed to accurately assess the nasal structure and plan a safe surgical approach.
STEP 02
A 3D simulation is used to preview the desired nasal shape. Together with the patient, we adjust the direction and determine details such as bridge height, tip angle, and overall profile.
STEP 03
A custom mold is created using 3D printing, and the finely processed autologous rib cartilage is securely molded using medical-grade adhesive.

FAQ
Q. How long should I stay in Korea after Rib Fit Nose (autologous rib cartilage mold rhinoplasty)?
A. If you undergo rhinoplasty using your own rib cartilage, you will need to return to the clinic for post-operative checkups, as well as cast and stitch removal. We recommend staying in Korea for around 10 nights if possible. However, if you are unable to stay that long, we can provide a referral letter so you can have the remaining stitches removed in your home country.
Q. What is the difference between 3D rib cartilage mold rhinoplasty and regular autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty?
A. In conventional autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, the harvested cartilage is typically carved into individual grafts or processed into smaller pieces that can be injected or inserted into the nose. With the 3D rib cartilage mold technique, the cartilage is formed using a specially designed mold, allowing greater control over the shape and height of the nasal bridge. The nasal tip is then individually carved and shaped by the surgeon, allowing the bridge and tip to be precisely designed as part of the overall rhinoplasty.
Q. Can the 3D rib cartilage mold be customized to my desired nose shape?
A. Yes. One of the main advantages of the 3D rib cartilage mold is the ability to customize the height and contour of the nasal bridge rather than relying on a standardized shape. It can be designed to create different bridge profiles based on the patient's desired nose shape and facial proportions. The final design will also take into consideration your existing nasal structure, skin thickness, and what can be safely achieved.
Q. Is Rib Fit Nose (autologous rib cartilage mold rhinoplasty) suitable for revision rhinoplasty?
A. Yes. Autologous rib cartilage mold rhinoplasty is particularly well suited for revision rhinoplasty. It can be a good option when previous surgery has left insufficient or weakened cartilage, or when stronger structural support is needed. Because the patient’s own rib cartilage is used to create a customized nasal structure, it is also suitable for revision patients who prefer to avoid artificial implants. However, candidacy will ultimately depend on the current condition of your nose and your previous surgical history.
Q. Can the cartilage be absorbed over time?
A. Some degree of natural remodeling or absorption can occur over time, as Rib Fit Nose uses the patient’s own autologous rib cartilage. However, the 3D rib cartilage mold is designed for long-term stability, with an approximate retention rate of 95%. Individual results may vary depending on healing and other patient-specific factors.
Q. Does Rib Fit Nose (autologous rib cartilage mold rhinoplasty) leave pain or scarring at the rib cartilage harvesting site?
A. After surgery, you may experience temporary pain, soreness, or tightness around the rib cartilage harvesting site, but these symptoms gradually improve as you recover. The incision used to harvest the rib cartilage will also gradually fade over time, although the final appearance of the scar may vary depending on your skin type and individual healing process. We also offer a post-operative recovery program to support a smoother and more comfortable recovery after surgery.
