Before deciding whether you should choose cartilage or S Line rhinoplasty, let’s understand these 2 methods of rhinoplasty:
Cartilage rhinoplasty
Cartilage rhinoplasty is a rhinoplasty procedure originating from Korea. This is considered the leading modern and safe rhinoplasty technology nowadays.
During surgery, the doctor will dissect the cavity and insert artificial cartilage to raise the nose bridge. Next, the doctor shall use the autologous cartilage (taken from the customer’s body) to coat the nose tip.
S Line rhinoplasty
S Line Rhinoplasty is also known as the structural S Line rhinoplasty. This is a more advanced rhinoplasty technology than cartilage rhinoplasty technology. This method shall completely get rid of all the nose defects.
Technically, the S Line rhinoplasty technology involves reconstructing the nose structure using a combination of biological cartilage and autologous cartilage (usually ear cartilage). The structural S Line rhinoplasty method gives a soft, natural, and trendy S Line nose shape.
