How it is done
According to the clinic website, a 3D-CT scan taken prior to surgery is used to analyse the internal structure of the nose, the cartilage, the skin layers and any functional problems, and the findings are reflected in the surgical plan. After detailed examination, a custom implant is designed and the cartilage placement is planned. The implant is placed under the periosteum of the nasal bone to raise the bridge, and the tip is shaped with refined autologous cartilage. A long columella is partly resected and tied; a short columella is lengthened and fixed; and the tip cartilage is custom-cut and fixed in two layers, according to the clinic. Autologous tissue is chosen according to the condition: septal cartilage (harvested inside the nose without another incision, used to raise the tip or lengthen the nose), rib cartilage (used where support and durability are needed), autologous dermis (harvested from the buttock to fill in where the skin over the bridge is thin or soft tissue is lacking) and ear cartilage (round and elastic, used to build tip structure, to cover a silicone implant, or to supplement septal cartilage), according to the clinic. An anesthesiologist monitors the patient during surgery; consultation, design and the operation are handled by the assigned surgeon, and aftercare consists of follow-up checks by that surgeon and 1:1 care by a dedicated coordinator, according to the clinic.

- Swelling and bruising can occur, and asymmetry or a shape different from what was expected may require further correction.
- Results vary with individual factors such as skin thickness and cartilage condition.
- When an implant is used, implant show-through, movement or tilting, and contracture (surrounding tissue tightening and shortening the nose) may require revision surgery.
