02.Autologous Tissue

• 
  Septal Cartilage

  • Most commonly used rhinoplasty material located in between the nostrils
  • Usually used for raising the nasal tips
  • Low possibility of projection even for thin skin
  • Has high structural support to raise the nasal tip
  • Does not need complicated incisions as it is easy to harvest and engraft
• 
  Ear Cartilage

  • Achieves natural nasal tip with more elasticity than septal cartilage
  • Low possibility of projection even for thin skin
  • Harvested from the ears which has almost no functions and therefore is
    absolutely safe
• 
  Rib Cartilage

  • Used to reconstruct severely damaged nasal tips due to contracture
    and inflammation caused from the previous surgery.
  • Sufficient enough to raise the tip and has low infection rate.
  • Highly supportive and strong enough to withstand the re-absorption
• 
  Autologous Dermis

  • Low chance of complication as the skin is harvested from thighs and buttocks areas.
  • Used to give only minimal changes than to dramatically elevate the nasal bridge.
• 
  Autologous Fat

  • Low chance of complication as the fats are harvested from thighs and buttocks area.
  • Used to give only minimal changes than to dramatically elevate the nasal bridge.
  • Used for thin skin or reconstructive cases due to complications from the previous surgery
• 
  Autologous Fascia

  • Fibrous layer which covers the outer muscle, and harvested from inner fascia or legs
  • With thin and tender texture, it is used to wrap the implant
  • Prevents the skin of nasal tip from getting thinner and red due to pressure
    of the implant
