Kowon Plastic Surgery Draws Attention for 'RIBFIT™,' an Autologous Rhinoplasty That Raises the Nasal Bridge Without Implants
Kowon Plastic Surgery's RIBFIT™ turns a patient's own rib cartilage into a custom nasal bridge implant, offering an autologous rhinoplasty option without silicone.


As more patients seek autologous rhinoplasty out of concern about silicone implants, Kowon Plastic Surgery's 'RIBFIT™' is drawing attention.
RIBFIT is an autologous rhinoplasty solution in which the patient's own rib cartilage is processed into fine cartilage particles, then compressed into a custom implant shape that suits the patient's facial structure. Rather than simply grafting rib cartilage onto the nose, it turns the patient's own tissue into the nasal bridge implant itself.
Dr. Hyung-taek Kim, director of Kowon Plastic Surgery, explained, "The human body accepts its own tissue more comfortably than any foreign material. RIBFIT aims to create a defined nasal bridge line and a natural contour together, without an artificial implant."
RIBFIT can be an option for those who are uncomfortable with silicone, those who need revision surgery after implant rhinoplasty, and those who want a natural feel. However, results may vary depending on each person's anatomical structure, so a thorough consultation and precise diagnosis are recommended.
