REAL Safe Implant Rhinoplasty

Benefit 1

Implant selection and surgical method vary according to each person’s nasal condition.

Benefit 2

At REAL, which has 20 years of technical experience, a specialist provides a detailed one-to-one consultation and preoperative examination. After assessing the patient’s nose and facial proportions, the implant is designed and carved according to the nose’s original shape and height.

Prioritizing natural contours and safety

Tissue survival

Recognized as the body's own tissue

A naturally beautiful nose

Low risk of rejection and minimal foreign-body sensation

Autologous cartilage

Septal cartilage is harvested from inside the nostril at an appropriate thickness and firmness. No incision elsewhere on the body is needed, and it can create a more defined nasal tip and bridge.

Auricular cartilage

Costal cartilage is harvested from the end of a rib. Because a relatively large amount is available, it is used when auricular or septal cartilage is insufficient. Its firmness provides strong support, making it suitable for severe contracture deformity or a markedly depressed nasal bridge.

Costal cartilage

Autologous dermis

This tissue is taken from the midline buttock area near the tailbone. Multiple dermal layers are compressed together to reduce height loss from absorption, making it suitable for noses with thin skin. When combined with cartilage, it can further reduce absorption and foreign-body sensation and is well suited to creating a natural nasal shape.

Fascia

Fascia is the thin membrane surrounding muscle. It is usually harvested from beneath the scalp above the ear and used for thin skin or bridge augmentation. The scalp incision keeps the scar hidden, and the tissue is relatively accessible.

Meticulous design

Expanded PTFE implant

This implant is softer than silicone and creates a natural shape, so it may also be used in patients with thinner skin. Its fine porous structure integrates relatively readily with surrounding tissue. Because the material is soft and difficult to carve, extensive technical experience is needed to create and place the desired shape accurately.

Silicone implant

Silicone does not change shape or become absorbed over time after surgery. It can be carved precisely to fit the nasal form. With very thin skin, the implant may become visible, so skin condition and thickness must first be assessed carefully.

Patients seeking a precisely planned nasal shape

02

Patients who want a stable postoperative shape

03

Patients seeking a more noticeable result

04

Patients whose skin condition or other factors make an implant necessary
