Dr. Yoo what are the chances of complications when using the rib cartilage? I read about possible complications such as: - Harvest site complications including chest pain (including chest pain) - Risk of warping of the implanted cartilage over time, deforming the appearance of the nose - Pneumothorax
I would like to ask does the rib cartilage grafting for rhinoplasty can give future risk? Because you are taking a rib on your body. I was thinking in the future you'll get some complications

A doctor suggested using rib cartilage for septoplasty (my 2nd). What's the risk of doing this? Is the rib weakened? How much is removed? Does it grow back in the rib? 3 months to heal the rib or?
Hi Ian Leahy During rhinoplasty with rib cartilage, typically a small portion of the cartilaginous segment of one rib (4-5 cm) is harvested. With proper surgical technique, this will leave only a small, linear scar (~1 cm) as a sign of the surgery. Most patients will be able to return to light exercise at 2 weeks, and full exercise at 4 weeks after surgery. Warm regards

The rib cartilage harvest will leave a scar and depression in your chest wall. The scar and depression can potentially be minimized, but there will be a scar and a depression. In women, the surgeon might hide the incision in your breast fold. Your rib cartilage is hard and bone like, much harder and more rigid than your nasal cartilages. When you dissect a nose and sew transplanted cartilage grafts from your rib-cage into your dissected nose, the grafts do not become soft like your natural nasal cartilages are, they remain hard and rigid, just like the cartilage was in your chest. You are going to have hard pieces of cartilage inside your nose that act as structural implants. These hard pieces of cartilage sewn into your nose can be irritating and painful, to very irritating and painful. You are risking your health and well being under-going a procedure of this type, especially when it is unnecessarily done for cosmetic purposes.
@@tonydisabatino Yea, and no... I mean, I had a 4 hour reconstructive nose job with Rib harvest... Ok, So I did have pain for a few months, and I was scared it would never go away..

Hello Dr! I have 2 Questions Im From Dubai and I might come to LA on January. I did a Rihonoplasty 6 months ago and I'm not satisfied with the result I went back using Filliers to have higher bridge even thought fillers have once enfaced my nose because of the number of times i keep adding fillers to build up the bridge. 1. Is it okay to do another surgery using carlatge to build the bridge of the nose after 6 months from doing the first Rhinoplasty? (Im really not satisfied at all because of the bridge) 2. How much surgery time needed to do just a graft (Asian Rhinoplasty)? I would really appreciate your help by answering.
Hi Sara Alsari, 1) Normally it is safest to wait around 9-12 months after rhinoplasty to consider undergoing a revision rhinoplasty. As long as you are otherwise healthy, and not smoking or use nicotine-containing products, a revision rhinoplasty can be performed in a safe manner. 2) Surgery time will depend on how much augmentation will be performed and what, if any, changes will be necessary to the tip of the nose but will generally range from 4-6 hours. Warm regards
Thank you for answering Dr! Much appreciated. So there is no way i can do the surgery on January? (6 months passed since my old surgery) The main reason is I don't visit the US often and Im from Dubai, There for its very hard for me to be there in LA any time, but i will visit in January and i really do believe that you are the only doctor that could actually fix my nose.
Hi, Dr. Yoo!. I really admire your work and i am looking forward to get a Rhinoplasty using diced rib cartilage fascia done by you. However, i would like to know how long is the recovery time after the procedure since i am only allowed to get 15 days max of leave from work. Is there going to be visible bruises and stitches 10 days after the surgery? I would appreciate your reply to my query. Thank you.
Hi Globe Trotter Most patients will feel comfortable returning to work or school after 2 weeks of recovery. The nose at that point will still be swollen, but not look strange nor "surgical". Warm regards
By watched your vedios I am turning to your fan heartily ♥ But I live so far from you and I want to make contact with you for surgery. Which country do you live? please reply me I will be greatfull to you.
Hi Dr. Yoo! Thank you for this education video. From your practice, do you see a higher resorption rate with donor rib graft? Or it is comparable to autologous cartilage. I got an augmentation rhinoplasty this July with donor rib graft in Boston. The result is great so far. I’m very worried that I will see resorption and some people claim the graft can be absorbed 50%. Im very confused with all the mixed information. Apologies for the long comment. Any comment is greatly appreciated ❤
From a theoretical perspective, donor rib cartilage is not viable tissue since it is coming for a cadaver, and it is also be radiated to ensure there is not viable tissue. Given this, it most certainly resorbs at a much higher rate than autologous tissue since it will never be a living, viable part of your nose, since it is by its very nature non-viable material. That being said, if your nose is looking great, enjoy it and simply observe it. If it continues to look great, leave it alone. If it does not, then that's when you can consider other options.
Hi Doctor , Here is a patient from China. actually after two weeks i am gonna do surgery on my nose . My hospital gives me a way to do surgery is use my Rib cartilage, for just in case to reduce the curve possibility, They will chop my Rib cartilage as many tiny cubes and use my fascia to cover it . Then put in my nose . do you think is that good plan ? or you think just do traditional way like just go straight to use rib cartilage then carve . Your advice is important to me . Waiting for your answer . Thank you 🙏
Hello Dr. Yoo! I have a slight dorsal hump, a short bridge, and too much rotation of my tip. Would you be able to alter all of these things? I feel as though I have a very complex nose, and I’m scared that it’s unfixable :(
I think I'm going to wait till spring to try and get in with you.. I love the 2 videos you posted, one of the girl and the guy. That's what I wanted but needs your touch to get it fine tuned...
Doctor I want to get a rhinoplasty in the future and I'm African American. Although my nose isn't flat it has a bump at the middle of it and I would like to make it less wide. Do you think I would have to use rib cartelige?
Donor cartilage is safe in terms of not causing any increased risks of infection or skin ulceration, but it is not safe in terms of creating a permanent result. Donor cartilage is irradiated, meaning it is not living tissue. Therefore, there is a high risk of resorption and the nose losing shape.
Hi vidvidvid2012 It's important to wait until after you son is nearly fully grown to pursue rhinoplasty. For males this is typically around 16 years of age. Warm regards
vidvidvid I know I’m stepping out of bounds here, but please don’t let your perception iof your son’s nose affect how you raise him. The tiniest comments can create insecurities in him for a lifetime. As long as he’s healthy and happy (at 8, I’m sure he has other things on his mind to pass the time the way a child should), he can make the decision for himself when he’s an adult.
I have a lump on the side of my nose, that now several doctors say I’d need a rhinoplasty! All I want is my old, lump free nose as the lump/bump tends to burn and itch.
Cadaver cartilage is a potential option if your own rib cartilage is not suitable for use (due to calcification). However, cadaver cartilage is not living tissue as it comes from a deceased person, and it has been irradiated and treated to remove any viable or living cells. Due to this, there is a chance of resorption that you would not encounter with using your own tissue.
Hi Dr Yoo I had rhinoplasty yrs ago and am not happy with the result, the ear cartilage was used, and I regretted for not going with the rib cartilage for the dorsum as I learned that it may warp. Is it correct? If I want to have revision rhinoplasty, what would be the best approach? Thanks in advance.
Hi Lena Y L Rib cartilage and ear cartilage are simply sources of graft material. Depending on the skill level of the surgeon and techniques used, the results will vary widely - not based on the source of the cartilage, but on the surgeon. The best approach for revision surgery will depend on your existing anatomy, and the aspect of your nose you wish to change. Warm regards
Hello Dr Yoo I want to ask you a question which facial features for ex ( the eye area , chin , jaw or nose ) to name a few has the maximum impact on making a face beautiful, I know every part of the face is important but which is most important in making a face beautiful aesthetically
My plastic surgeon Stanford, wants to use rib to harvest for revision surgery.He said my nose will be wide and nostrils big.Is this look necessary .I am tiny ,short,white female?Right now my nose collapsed and is perfect except collapse.I would like it fixed,bt do not want a boxers nose
It will depend on your baseline anatomy, history of previous surgery and your aesthetic goals. Please contact our office for more detailed information😊
Hi Jennifer Lopez The rib cartilage portion of the surgery takes between 40 minutes to 1 hour, while the remainder of the rhinoplasty depends on what aspects of the nose are being changed. Warm regards

I had septoplasty and turbinectomyabout 2 years ago but it congested the air way and depressed the nose tip leading flaping of septum and insomnia. What to do ? Kindly help....
Hi I have a dent on my left side due to a fall. I’ve been looking at emt doctors but they said they couldnt see it and that i am tripping. Would really like for you to see it if possible, how much would a graft be?
For small to moderate amounts of augmentation, and for patients with good tip projection/support, ear cartilage + septal cartilage can be an excellent option. www.donyoomd.com/services-asian-rhinoplasty.php
Hi amy sultan I feel that the safest material to use during rhinoplasty is material from your own body (autologous grafts). Gore-tex is a foreign material and will never become fully incorporated into the nose. This results in a higher rate or infection, migration and extrusion than with tissue from your own body. Warm regards
Some patients may be able to use cartilage from inside the nose (septum) alone, or in combination with cartilage from the ears. Rib cartilage is necessary when the baseline nose is lacking in projection and structure, but significant projection and definition is desired.
Dr. it's 5 months after my surgery. I still feel pain. I know I'm a fat guy, so the doctor harvested rib from right under my male breast so the scar is not noticeable unless you lift it up.. However, when I workout, and do chest for example it hurts!! I mean I can barely lift weights due to the pain! will it ever heal?!

Hi youtubeuser, On a male patient the rib incision will heal as a thin, 2 cm line typically in the crease under the pectoralis muscle. Occasionally patients will want the incision designed lower along the lateral border of the rectus muscle. Warm regards
This surgery left me with a 3.5cm visible scar, and an indentation and hole in the center of my chest. My incision was under my pectoralis muscle where my floating ribs meet my sternum. My chest has been in pain and throbbed, twitched, and gone through contractions for 8 years now and requires surgical correction as a result of this surgery. I am looking at stem cells to repair what this procedure caused. I would compare this surgery to being stabbed in the chest with a knife. As far as my nose goes, my nose is hard as a rock and bone like from 4 rib grafts. My advice as a male would be to avoid this procedure. If you have an athletic build, I would sincerely recommend that you avoid this procedure. No two people are alike, and all due respect to the surgeon in this video, but I only know this procedure to be harmful.
@@tonydisabatino omg that is awefull i can imagine your nose feeling alot different and harder now because of the different bone its in your nose now. I got 2 surgeries on my nose first was a rhino second was a closed nose surgery to remove the hump he did not get rid of in the first surgery. Long story short the hump is gone and i have a dent now cause he scraped to much off so i was thinking about a revision to add some cartilage to fill up the dent in my nose. After i read your comment make me think twice cause the problems your facing i really dont want its like getting rid of one problem and get another back. Thanks for the info and i hope you get better soon.
I had rhinoplasty for 4 times already with silicon, I took the silicone out for 2 times because there was a big deposit of calcium in the middle of my nose ,then the mid nose got red and look like a hump because of the calcium deposit. It happened after 10 years. The third time was ugly nose and the last one was too long silicone, it was deviate and the nose got swollen. Then I took the silicone out for 4 years already. I thought that I would not have a rhinoplasty again cause I am almost 60. But now my nose tip is a bit dented and the middle is flat which can be seen more and more easily. Will the rhinoplasty using rib cartilage last for my life time? Will the nose be swollen or turn rad again after years? And the calcium deposit will happen again ?
YES!!! NEVER USE SILICONE ! the minute you hear silicone run!! Good plastic surgeons would never use silicone in the nose..They used rib for my nose, and I love the results. Rib is the hardest bone, and the best when reconstructing the nose!
Hi Jessabelle Bersabal I personally recommend strongly against using synthetic implants in your nose, as they have a far higher risk of complications than your own tissue, and they will not provide a permanent result. Warm regards
thank you so much for your reply.. it helps me a lot which one to get for a nose job.. and i will not get silicon. but i really have to save a lot for my dream nose surgery.. 😊 thank you again..
That's a great question, and I typically will not unless there are extenuating circumstances that warrant it, such as a patient with completely calcified rib cartilage that desires a significant change but is willing to accept the potential for resorption with cadaver cartilage.
Hi Santhi Gita Dewi You definitely can blow your nose after rhinoplasty, and after it has healed to a certain point can shake it and treat it as you would before surgery. Warm regards
Im caucasian and i just had my rhinoplasty a month ago for $5,600. My husband is Korean and would like to have his nose done as well but the surgeons around here(Ky) don't really have much experience with asian noses. Is the price a big difference? would love for you to do it. Thank you
Hi beppingsan The fact that rib cartilage does have the potential to warp makes it exceedingly important to seek out a surgeon who is experienced and technically adept at effectively using rib cartilage to minimize this risk and virtually eliminate this possibility. Warm regards
@@tonato17 what is "everywhere"? I've talked with many doctors because I'm having this procedure. You can also read articles from legitimate sources. Rib cartilage won't grow back only if something done wrong. Examples are: bigger pieces, wrong parts etc
@@DeanithForeverYoung that is why I asked your source for assuring rib cartilage will grow back. Again, can you state your source? You tell me I can read articles from legitimate sources. Can you point those articles out ?
Hi dr. Yoo what is the difference between using silicone and rib cartilage as a support for the nose bridge? I heard, if using cartilage there might be some change to the nose shape over a long period of time as the rib cartilage get absorbed by the body. After the surgery can patient perform extreme sport? Diving etc? Thank you
A dorsal implant inside of a nose serves the same purpose whether it is made of silicon or rib cartilage. The only difference is that an implant made from rib cartilage comes from a doctor cutting a piece of your rib cage off and carving the implant out of the piece of removed ribcage, versus a silicon implant that is manufactured by a company in a lab. They call an implant made of rib cartilage an Autologous implant because it is made from a piece of your body and is not foreign matter. You hear the term "graft resorption" although I find it impossible for a graft to dissolve inside of a human's nose. I only know grafts to remain inside of your nose exactly as they were initially sewn into your nose. Harvesting a rib graft is 100% going to leave you with a scar on your chest, and almost certainly a depression or a dent in your chest wall. The depression and scar can be hidden on women in their breast fold, where as in men the scar is visible and apparent. There are videos on RUclips of doctors harvesting rib grafts. Undergoing the surgery is not easy and takes many painful years to heal from, at which point you are still going to be left with a hard and painful piece or pieces of your rib cage inside of your nose. Some surgeons like to combine a dorsal onlay graft with spreader grafts as a "platform" for the dorsal onlay graft. The more grafts you add, the more complicated your procedure becomes. You are going to have to let your chest incision heal and your nose heal before attempting extreme sports. The rib grafting will likely leave your nose hard and bone like since the implant(s) are made from your own rib bone. A silicon implant has the risk of becoming infected and expelled from your body. Personally, from my own experience, I would not recommend either procedure although you will find plenty of surgeons telling you the exact opposite to get your money. Be very careful.
Tony DiSabatino - we are talking about the bridge, which is already made of bone. Who cares if you use rib then since it’ll be just as hard as the existing bone. You’re confusing the lower cartilage with the dorsum bridge or nasal bones.
I really appreciate that you still find time to post videos on RUclips, I love them! And your voice is very relaxing (I'm sorry if it sounds weird), have a nice day!
i had my rhinoplasty on Monday and they took my cartilage too. It’s been very painful 😣 i can hardly move without pain. they also left something to drain the blood with. my recovery has been very tough, hope it gets better soon.

- Risk of warping of the implanted cartilage over time, deforming the appearance of the nose

Hi, Dr. Yoo!. I really admire your work and i am looking forward to get a Rhinoplasty using diced rib cartilage fascia done by you. However, i would like to know how long is the recovery time after the procedure since i am only allowed to get 15 days max of leave from work. Is there going to be visible bruises and stitches 10 days after the surgery? I would appreciate your reply to my query. Thank you.
Hi Globe Trotter
Most patients will feel comfortable returning to work or school after 2 weeks of recovery. The nose at that point will still be swollen, but not look strange nor "surgical".
Warm regards
How many weeks does it take for the rib pain to resolve?
@reardelt I use the smallest scar (~1 cm) and most minimal dissection, so for my patients the discomfort usually lasts
Dr yoo all the wayyyy
By watched your vedios I am turning to your fan heartily ♥ But I live so far from you and I want to make contact with you for surgery. Which country do you live? please reply me I will be greatfull to you.
Hi Dr. Yoo! Thank you for this education video. From your practice, do you see a higher resorption rate with donor rib graft? Or it is comparable to autologous cartilage. I got an augmentation rhinoplasty this July with donor rib graft in Boston. The result is great so far. I’m very worried that I will see resorption and some people claim the graft can be absorbed 50%. Im very confused with all the mixed information. Apologies for the long comment. Any comment is greatly appreciated ❤
From a theoretical perspective, donor rib cartilage is not viable tissue since it is coming for a cadaver, and it is also be radiated to ensure there is not viable tissue. Given this, it most certainly resorbs at a much higher rate than autologous tissue since it will never be a living, viable part of your nose, since it is by its very nature non-viable material.
That being said, if your nose is looking great, enjoy it and simply observe it. If it continues to look great, leave it alone. If it does not, then that's when you can consider other options.
Can you give us litle an idea how much it cost doc..
Hi Doctor , Here is a patient from China. actually after two weeks i am gonna do surgery on my nose . My hospital gives me a way to do surgery is use my Rib cartilage, for just in case to reduce the curve possibility, They will chop my Rib cartilage as many tiny cubes and use my fascia to cover it . Then put in my nose . do you think is that good plan ? or you think just do traditional way like just go straight to use rib cartilage then carve . Your advice is important to me . Waiting for your answer . Thank you 🙏
Hello Dr. Yoo! I have a slight dorsal hump, a short bridge, and too much rotation of my tip. Would you be able to alter all of these things? I feel as though I have a very complex nose, and I’m scared that it’s unfixable :(
I think I'm going to wait till spring to try and get in with you.. I love the 2 videos you posted, one of the girl and the guy. That's what I wanted but needs your touch to get it fine tuned...
Hi ferdinand aulia
I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I look forward to speaking to you.

How much does it cost to have Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty?
Dr. Yoo, What is your opinion on the rib cartilage warping or the ear cartilage resorption after rhinoplasty? Thanks.
Plz guide us about it
@Dr. Donald B. Yoo, does removal of rib cartilage affect any side effect?
Also i have sent my photos over mail ( info@donyoomd.com) for Advise/suggestions from your side for my better nose rhinoplasty result.
Hi doc. Is it possible to perform revision using the same harvested rib Cartilage again?
Doctor I want to get a rhinoplasty in the future and I'm African American. Although my nose isn't flat it has a bump at the middle of it and I would like to make it less wide. Do you think I would have to use rib cartelige?
I heard ribs cartilage can warp and reabsorb over time.
Hello Doctor what is your opinion on donor cartilage?
Donor cartilage is safe in terms of not causing any increased risks of infection or skin ulceration, but it is not safe in terms of creating a permanent result. Donor cartilage is irradiated, meaning it is not living tissue. Therefore, there is a high risk of resorption and the nose losing shape.
I like your work. My son has a really flat nose. He's 8. At what age can he do the surgery?
Hi vidvidvid2012
It's important to wait until after you son is nearly fully grown to pursue rhinoplasty. For males this is typically around 16 years of age.
Warm regards
vidvidvid I know I’m stepping out of bounds here, but please don’t let your perception iof your son’s nose affect how you raise him. The tiniest comments can create insecurities in him for a lifetime. As long as he’s healthy and happy (at 8, I’m sure he has other things on his mind to pass the time the way a child should), he can make the decision for himself when he’s an adult.
Can the rib cartilage harvest rhinoplasty be done to make too?
I have a lump on the side of my nose, that now several doctors say I’d need a rhinoplasty! All I want is my old, lump free nose as the lump/bump tends to burn and itch.
My Dr. is suggesting cadaver cartilage. Should I be concerned?
Cadaver cartilage is a potential option if your own rib cartilage is not suitable for use (due to calcification). However, cadaver cartilage is not living tissue as it comes from a deceased person, and it has been irradiated and treated to remove any viable or living cells. Due to this, there is a chance of resorption that you would not encounter with using your own tissue.
Hi Dr Yoo I had rhinoplasty yrs ago and am not happy with the result, the ear cartilage was used, and I regretted for not going with the rib cartilage for the dorsum as I learned that it may warp. Is it correct? If I want to have revision rhinoplasty, what would be the best approach?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Lena Y L
Rib cartilage and ear cartilage are simply sources of graft material. Depending on the skill level of the surgeon and techniques used, the results will vary widely - not based on the source of the cartilage, but on the surgeon. The best approach for revision surgery will depend on your existing anatomy, and the aspect of your nose you wish to change.
Warm regards
The rib cartilage and the facia, is reabsorbed with the time?
sir, do you practice male rhinoplasty also?
what if ur a keloid former? when u do an incision to get rib cartilage is it gonna heal with a keloid too?
Hello Dr Yoo I want to ask you a question which facial features for ex ( the eye area , chin , jaw or nose ) to name a few has the maximum impact on making a face beautiful, I know every part of the face is important but which is most important in making a face beautiful aesthetically
Chin and nose
How common is it for the cartilage graft to shift?
My plastic surgeon Stanford, wants to use rib to harvest for revision surgery.He said my nose will be wide and nostrils big.Is this look necessary .I am tiny ,short,white female?Right now my nose collapsed and is perfect except collapse.I would like it fixed,bt do not want a boxers nose
Can we harvest animal rib cartilage for rhynoplasty
How much the cost dr❤
It will depend on your baseline anatomy, history of previous surgery and your aesthetic goals. Please contact our office for more detailed information😊
How long does it take for the procedure?
Hi Jennifer Lopez
The rib cartilage portion of the surgery takes between 40 minutes to 1 hour, while the remainder of the rhinoplasty depends on what aspects of the nose are being changed.
Warm regards
I have been through 3 revision rhinoplasty . My nose got shrink and get shorter because silicone shift out out my nose . Its deform now. I really need you help.
Sir do you do acne scar surgery ??
I had septoplasty and turbinectomyabout 2 years ago but it congested the air way and depressed the nose tip leading flaping of septum and insomnia. What to do ? Kindly help....
Hi I have a dent on my left side due to a fall. I’ve been looking at emt doctors but they said they couldnt see it and that i am tripping. Would really like for you to see it if possible, how much would a graft be?
Is there an age limit for the nose surgery?
Looks good but does the skin scar after it?
Hi makterlet
The incision will leave a small, linear scar ~1.5 cm long hidden in the crease below the right breast.
Warm regards
What options do I have if I want a nose job without rib cartilage?
For small to moderate amounts of augmentation, and for patients with good tip projection/support, ear cartilage + septal cartilage can be an excellent option. www.donyoomd.com/services-asian-rhinoplasty.php
Doc, I have hypertension i am age 40, i would like to rhynoplanty ..is that possible i make surgery?
Can you do ribs cartilage rhinoplasty if you had breast augmentation
Hello! I have a question, is it possible to dive after 6 months of a rhinoplasty with rib cartiladge?
Yes, it's safe to dive at 6 months after surgery with rib cartilage.
HI doc is gorotex is safe to use for rhinoplasty?
Hi amy sultan
I feel that the safest material to use during rhinoplasty is material from your own body (autologous grafts). Gore-tex is a foreign material and will never become fully incorporated into the nose. This results in a higher rate or infection, migration and extrusion than with tissue from your own body.
Warm regards
absorption risk?
Is it necessary to use our own rib cartilage is there any other alternative for it ?
Some patients may be able to use cartilage from inside the nose (septum) alone, or in combination with cartilage from the ears. Rib cartilage is necessary when the baseline nose is lacking in projection and structure, but significant projection and definition is desired.
Dr. it's 5 months after my surgery. I still feel pain. I know I'm a fat guy, so the doctor harvested rib from right under my male breast so the scar is not noticeable unless you lift it up.. However, when I workout, and do chest for example it hurts!! I mean I can barely lift weights due to the pain! will it ever heal?!
How are you feeling now? Maybe you started working out too soon? Are you doing better?
@@drinny26 oh yea, but it took a year and a half for the pain to go away lol
@@iTzShakenJoE you got me nervous. I’m getting my revision next week but I work out a lot. I was told I should take two months off for rib to heal.
May Palm be Blessed . 🙏👍
You have an Amazing Career

how does the rib incision heal on a male patient?
Hi youtubeuser,
On a male patient the rib incision will heal as a thin, 2 cm line typically in the crease under the pectoralis muscle. Occasionally patients will want the incision designed lower along the lateral border of the rectus muscle.
Warm regards
This surgery left me with a 3.5cm visible scar, and an indentation and hole in the center of my chest. My incision was under my pectoralis muscle where my floating ribs meet my sternum. My chest has been in pain and throbbed, twitched, and gone through contractions for 8 years now and requires surgical correction as a result of this surgery. I am looking at stem cells to repair what this procedure caused. I would compare this surgery to being stabbed in the chest with a knife. As far as my nose goes, my nose is hard as a rock and bone like from 4 rib grafts. My advice as a male would be to avoid this procedure. If you have an athletic build, I would sincerely recommend that you avoid this procedure. No two people are alike, and all due respect to the surgeon in this video, but I only know this procedure to be harmful.
@@tonydisabatino What type of stem cell procedure are you looking at for the ribs? I didn't even know such a procedure existed. Thanks.
@@tonydisabatino omg that is awefull i can imagine your nose feeling alot different and harder now because of the different bone its in your nose now. I got 2 surgeries on my nose first was a rhino second was a closed nose surgery to remove the hump he did not get rid of in the first surgery.
Long story short the hump is gone and i have a dent now cause he scraped to much off so i was thinking about a revision to add some cartilage to fill up the dent in my nose.
After i read your comment make me think twice cause the problems your facing i really dont want its like getting rid of one problem and get another back.
Thanks for the info and i hope you get better soon.
price for asian rhinoplasty?
I had rhinoplasty for 4 times already with silicon, I took the silicone out for 2 times because there was a big deposit of calcium in the middle of my nose ,then the mid nose got red and look like a hump because of the calcium deposit. It happened after 10 years. The third time was ugly nose and the last one was too long silicone, it was deviate and the nose got swollen. Then I took the silicone out for 4 years already.
I thought that I would not have a rhinoplasty again cause I am almost 60. But now my nose tip is a bit dented and the middle is flat which can be seen more and more easily. Will the rhinoplasty using rib cartilage last for my life time? Will the nose be swollen or turn rad again after years? And the calcium deposit will happen again ?
YES!!! NEVER USE SILICONE ! the minute you hear silicone run!! Good plastic surgeons would never use silicone in the nose..They used rib for my nose, and I love the results. Rib is the hardest bone, and the best when reconstructing the nose!
@@thinline8504
What's about the warping of rib cartilage ..plz.guide me
@@sairamunir3394 they take rib so it won't Warp so easily .. it will be difficult for it to warp since the Rib is such a solid part.
@@thinline8504 is there any side effect on the rib like does it grow back?
Hi doctor Donald
I want to ask a question if we use chest cartilage for nose job can I clear medical visa
Hi good day, doc yoo, can I ask I am a pre hypertension ..possible can make under surgery for rhinoplasty
What does the cost range from?
annattv $16,000 to $19,000.
where is doctor?
Roughly how much?
hey doc. i wanna ask if it is safe to have a silicon nose job..?
Hi Jessabelle Bersabal
I personally recommend strongly against using synthetic implants in your nose, as they have a far higher risk of complications than your own tissue, and they will not provide a permanent result.
Warm regards
thank you so much for your reply.. it helps me a lot which one to get for a nose job.. and i will not get silicon. but i really have to save a lot for my dream nose surgery.. 😊 thank you again..
Do you do donor grafts
That's a great question, and I typically will not unless there are extenuating circumstances that warrant it, such as a patient with completely calcified rib cartilage that desires a significant change but is willing to accept the potential for resorption with cadaver cartilage.
Sir.if healing completely then. any rib pain in our feauture.rib Harvested surjery
The rib site feels completely normal after healing, and you will be able to resume full exercise in 1 month after surgery.
Can you just blow your nose after you get rhinoplasty? When you feel itchy then you shake it, we can do that as normal or not?
Hi Santhi Gita Dewi
You definitely can blow your nose after rhinoplasty, and after it has healed to a certain point can shake it and treat it as you would before surgery.
Warm regards
Im caucasian and i just had my rhinoplasty a month ago for $5,600. My husband is Korean and would like to have his nose done as well but the surgeons around here(Ky) don't really have much experience with asian noses. Is the price a big difference? would love for you to do it. Thank you
hello doc! can rib cartilage warp?
Hi beppingsan
The fact that rib cartilage does have the potential to warp makes it exceedingly important to seek out a surgeon who is experienced and technically adept at effectively using rib cartilage to minimize this risk and virtually eliminate this possibility.
Warm regards
@@DrDonYoo Thank you doctor for this answer
I am proud of you as a Korean.
Will rib re grow if removed for surgery
No
@@badrhinoplasty7994 it will if it's done right why are you spreading misinformation ,tf?
@@DeanithForeverYoung Hi, what is the source of that? I checked everywhere and it says it does not grow
@@tonato17 what is "everywhere"? I've talked with many doctors because I'm having this procedure. You can also read articles from legitimate sources. Rib cartilage won't grow back only if something done wrong. Examples are: bigger pieces, wrong parts etc
@@DeanithForeverYoung that is why I asked your source for assuring rib cartilage will grow back. Again, can you state your source? You tell me I can read articles from legitimate sources. Can you point those articles out ?
I love you 😍 good job 😊
Hi dr. Yoo what is the difference between using silicone and rib cartilage as a support for the nose bridge?
I heard, if using cartilage there might be some change to the nose shape over a long period of time as the rib cartilage get absorbed by the body.
After the surgery can patient perform extreme sport? Diving etc? Thank you
A dorsal implant inside of a nose serves the same purpose whether it is made of silicon or rib cartilage. The only difference is that an implant made from rib cartilage comes from a doctor cutting a piece of your rib cage off and carving the implant out of the piece of removed ribcage, versus a silicon implant that is manufactured by a company in a lab. They call an implant made of rib cartilage an Autologous implant because it is made from a piece of your body and is not foreign matter. You hear the term "graft resorption" although I find it impossible for a graft to dissolve inside of a human's nose. I only know grafts to remain inside of your nose exactly as they were initially sewn into your nose. Harvesting a rib graft is 100% going to leave you with a scar on your chest, and almost certainly a depression or a dent in your chest wall. The depression and scar can be hidden on women in their breast fold, where as in men the scar is visible and apparent. There are videos on RUclips of doctors harvesting rib grafts. Undergoing the surgery is not easy and takes many painful years to heal from, at which point you are still going to be left with a hard and painful piece or pieces of your rib cage inside of your nose. Some surgeons like to combine a dorsal onlay graft with spreader grafts as a "platform" for the dorsal onlay graft. The more grafts you add, the more complicated your procedure becomes. You are going to have to let your chest incision heal and your nose heal before attempting extreme sports. The rib grafting will likely leave your nose hard and bone like since the implant(s) are made from your own rib bone. A silicon implant has the risk of becoming infected and expelled from your body. Personally, from my own experience, I would not recommend either procedure although you will find plenty of surgeons telling you the exact opposite to get your money. Be very careful.
Tony DiSabatino - we are talking about the bridge, which is already made of bone. Who cares if you use rib then since it’ll be just as hard as the existing bone. You’re confusing the lower cartilage with the dorsum bridge or nasal bones.
