What is Structural Rhinoplasty?
Structural rhinoplasty is the top rhinoplasty technique highly evaluated by experts.
Structural rhinoplasty is considered a “savior” of ugly nose shapes. Because this method involves reconstructing the structure of the nose, correct most common defects such as low nose, saddle nose, short nose, crooked nose, big nose tip, flat alar bases, …
Structural rhinoplasty requires great expertise and skill, and years of experience of the surgeon. During the surgery, the doctor will dissect the nose area to create a cavity for placing the cartilage to lift the nose bridge, enhance the columella, and coat the nose tip. Thereby reconstructing the entire nose structure.
Cartilage material used in structural rhinoplasty
In structural rhinoplasty, besides using artificial biological cartilage to raise the nose bridge, the doctor will use autologous cartilage (taken from the customer’s body) to coat the nose tip. Types of autologous cartilage used include:
- Helix cartilage: This is the most commonly used autologous cartilage in structural rhinoplasty. The flexible helix cartilage will help form a natural nose tip shape. Helix cartilage will be suitable for those having rhinoplasty for the first time or have nose tips with few defects.
- Septum Cartilage: Nasal septum cartilage is often combined with ear cartilage to enhance the columella of the nose to become stronger.
- Rib cartilage: Rib cartilage is usually taken from the 6th and 7th rib positions. Rib cartilage is hard, difficult to orthopedic, so it is often used for the nose bridge. The rib cartilage in structural rhinoplasty will be indicated for cases where the nose is severely damaged, the nose is deformed, or after an accident.

Should we have structural rhinoplasty?
Structural rhinoplasty has a lot of great advantages and is suitable for everyone, which can correct all nose defects. Therefore, structural rhinoplasty is the method we should choose to enhance the beauty of our noses.
However, whether or not to choose a structural rhinoplasty depends on many factors. You should follow the advice of your doctor to choose the most suitable method of rhinoplasty instead of following trends.
Differences between structural and cartilage rhinoplasty
| Criteria | Structural rhinoplasty | Cartilage rhinoplasty |
| Defects improvement efficiency | Structural rhinoplasty can correct all the nose defects | Cartilage rhinoplasty is the optimal choice for those who have thin nose skin, upturned nose, short nose |
| Cost | Structural rhinoplasty has a much higher cost than conventional methods | Reasonable cost for everyone |
| Nose revision efficiency | Structural rhinoplasty is the optimal choice for those who have damaged nose after failed rhinoplasty or trauma | Not indicated for nose revision cases |
| Suurgery time | The complicated technique leads to longer surgery time | Shorter surgery time |

Semi-structural rhinoplasty only involves correcting a certain area with defects on the nose, not reconstructing the entire nose structure like the structural rhinoplasty method. Therefore, semi-structure rhinoplasty is only applied to the nose with few defects.
After examining and evaluating the condition of the nose, the doctor will make the final decision whether to choose a structural rhinoplasty or a semi-structured rhinoplasty.
