3D Printed INNORIB Diced Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

3D Printed Customized Rhinoplasty INNOFIT

JW Plastic Surgery in Seoul offers advanced 3D-printed INNOFIT diced rib cartilage rhinoplasty, shaping the patient’s own rib cartilage using customized 3D-printed mold. Unlike conventional silicone implants, this innovative nose surgery technique reshapes finely cut rib cartilage using a personalized 3D mold. The result is a safer, more natural-looking nose with improved fit, long-term stability, nearly zero absorption rate and higher patient satisfaction.

3D Printed INNORIB Diced Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

What is Diced Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty with INNORIB 3D-Printed Mold?

One of the most talked-about innovations in Korean rhinoplasty is Diced Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty with INNORIB 3D-Printed Mold. This next-generation nose surgery uses cutting-edge 3D printing technology to create a custom-made INNORIB mold, precisely designed to shape the patient’s own rib cartilage.

Unlike conventional silicone implants or prefabricated materials, this technique involves finely dicing the patient’s rib cartilage and glueing it inside a personalized 3D mold. The result is a naturally beautiful nasal bridge with enhanced safety, stability, and perfect harmony with each patient’s unique facial structure.

Because it is tailored to the specific anatomical features of each patient, this customized rhinoplasty is highly recommended not only for first-time surgeries but also as a safe and effective option for revision rhinoplasty.

Key Benefits of INNORIB Diced Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty
  • Fully Customized Design – Each implant is created individually based on 3D-CT scans and virtual simulation for a perfect match to the patient’s facial structure.
  • Natural Look & High Fit Accuracy – Achieves smooth nasal lines and harmony with facial balance, avoiding the “artificial” look of conventional implants.
  • Extremely Low Absorption Rate – Diced rib cartilage combined with INNOFIT mold provides long-lasting results with minimal resorption.
  • Reduced Risk of Deformation – The 3D mold stabilizes the diced cartilage, lowering the chances of warping or irregularities.
  • Lower Risk of Complications – Using the patient’s own tissue minimizes the risk of rejection, infection, or foreign body reaction.
  • Ideal for Revision or Complex Cases – Especially effective for secondary rhinoplasty, difficult cases, or patients with limited cartilage availability.

Manufacturing Process of Glued Diced Rib Cartilage Implant Using the INNORIB Mold

The process begins with a high-resolution 3D-CT scan to precisely analyze the structure of the nasal bones and cartilage.

Based on this data, and the patient’s customized design, a fully customized mold is created with a 3D printer to perfectly fit the patient’s facial anatomy.

Next, the patient’s own rib cartilage is finely diced into small pieces and bonded together inside the mold using medical-grade tissue adhesive.
This process produces a tailor-made autologous cartilage implant that combines stability of shape, softness, and a natural finish.

It is a cutting-edge technology that enables a level of precision fit and design previously impossible with conventional implants.

Sep by Step Process of Creating a Diced Rib Cartilage Implant with INNORIB 3D-Printed Mold

STEP 1: 3D-CT Scan

A high-resolution 3D-CT scan is performed to analyze the structure of the nasal bones and cartilage in detail. This data serves as the foundation for designing a fully customized implant that matches the patient’s unique anatomy.

 

 

STEP 2: INNOFIT Virtual Simulation

Using the CT data and the patient’s aesthetic goals, the INNOFIT virtual simulation software allows precise planning of nasal height, contour line, width, and angle.

 

 

STEP 3: Customized Surgical Planning

The simulation results are reviewed together with the surgeon during an in-depth consultation. Both medical safety and the patient’s cosmetic preferences are carefully balanced before finalizing the design.

 

 

STEP 4: Production of Customized 3D Printed Implant

Once the design is confirmed, a custom mold tailored exactly to the patient’s facial structure is produced with a medical-grade 3D printer.

 

 

STEP 5: Harvesting and Preparing Rib Cartilage

The patient’s own rib cartilage is safely harvested and finely diced to achieve a flexible and easily moldable material.

 

 

STEP 6: Filling and Bonding Cartilage into the Mold

The diced cartilage is packed into the INNORIB mold and bonded with a medical-grade adhesive to form the implant with the desired shape and contour.

 

 

STEP 7: Final Adjustment and Implantation

During surgery, the implant is carefully adjusted and precisely positioned for the most natural anatomical fit, ensuring long-lasting and safe results.
