What is implant-free rhinoplasty?
It refers to reshaping the nose using primarily autologous tissue rather than a permanent synthetic implant. NewGel Nose Surgery emphasizes implant-free structural rhinoplasty whenever suitable, using your own cartilage for support.
What types of cartilage can be used?
According to the brochure, septal, ear, or rib cartilage may be used when appropriate. Which is used depends on the support required and your cartilage availability.
Is a closed incision suitable for everyone?
No. A closed or minimally visible internal incision is used whenever suitable, but suitability depends on the degree of change required, your anatomy, cartilage availability, and whether the case is primary or revision.
How long is recovery?
Recovery varies according to the extent of surgery and individual healing. Temporary swelling, bruising, and nasal congestion are common during early recovery, and follow-up appointments monitor healing and outcomes.
Can NewGel rhinoplasty be used for revision cases?
The brochure presents it primarily as a personalized primary rhinoplasty approach. Whether it suits a revision case depends on your previous surgery, scar tissue, and remaining cartilage, determined after assessment.
What is the autologous biologic adhesive?
Per the brochure, it is a biologic adhesive derived from the patient's own blood, prepared during the procedure and used alongside the cartilage grafts.
What does treatment planning involve?
Every patient undergoes facial proportion analysis, nose bridge and tip assessment, skin thickness evaluation, cartilage availability assessment, and individualized surgical planning, supported by 3D CT evaluation before surgery.
Will there be a visible scar?
The bridge and tip are designed through a small internal incision, which is why the approach is described as minimally visible. If ear or rib cartilage is harvested, the donor site involves its own incision — your surgeon will explain this.
How is it different from other implant-free rhinoplasty?
The distinguishing elements described are the combination of autologous cartilage, an autologous biologic adhesive prepared from your blood, and a closed or minimally visible internal incision within one individualized plan.
