DI PLASTIC SURGERY · 01 / 35
A rhinoplasty option using the patient’s own rib cartilage when additional structural support or reconstruction is considered.
DI publishes a dated standard-price guide. The actual method, revision complexity, materials, anesthesia, tests, tax and follow-up affect your quote.
DI describes using cartilage taken from the patient's rib as structural graft material when nasal support is limited or reconstruction is needed. The surgeon assesses the bridge, tip and available cartilage, then discusses the donor-site incision, scarring and alternatives.
KOMD prepared this consultation guide from public clinic information. The clinician confirms the method and individual risks.
The surgeon reviews the relevant anatomy, previous procedures, current concerns and reasonable alternatives, including the option not to proceed. A named program does not guarantee one method or outcome.
Why is rib cartilage being proposed, and what donor-site risks apply?
Recovery varies with the method and individual health. Discuss swelling, bruising, scarring, bleeding, infection, altered sensation, asymmetry and any area-specific complications with the surgeon. Do not treat a published recovery estimate as personal clearance to work or travel.
Share medicines, allergies and prior procedures during consultation. Confirm postoperative reviews, whom to contact for urgent concerns, and how follow-up can continue after you leave Korea. DI provides medical aftercare; KOMD helps coordinate communication.

CONSULTATION PLANNING
DI describes using cartilage taken from the patient's rib as structural graft material when nasal support is limited or reconstruction is needed. The surgeon assesses the bridge, tip and available cartilage, then discusses the donor-site incision, scarring and alternatives. Bring this question to the clinician: Why is rib cartilage being proposed, and what donor-site risks apply? The clinician assesses suitability and explains realistic limits, alternatives and procedure-specific risks.
Ask DI Plastic Surgery in Seoul for a written, itemized quote identifying the exact operation, primary or revision status, surgeon, anesthesia, tests, materials, applicable tax and follow-up. Published examples are not an individual final quote. The medical institution confirms the price.
Ask the treating clinician about preparation, expected downtime, review visits, urgent contacts and when travel is medically appropriate for you. Recovery varies. KOMD can coordinate the inquiry and follow-up communication; an online inquiry does not confirm treatment or an appointment.
