Recovery Guide

What to expect during Autologous Cartilage Rhinoplasty (Implant-Free Nose Surgery) recovery

Autologous Cartilage Rhinoplasty, also known as implant-free rhinoplasty, enhances the shape and height of the nose using the patient’s own tissue instead of synthetic implants. This natural approach minimizes the risk of rejection, infection, or implant-related complications. The REGEN Plastic Surgery’s specialized “Making Line” technique uses autologous dermis and cartilage from the nasal septum, ear, or rib to reshape and elevate the nose bridge and tip. The result is a stable, natural-looking nose line that harmonizes with the patient’s facial features and ages beautifully over time.
