GNG
No-Plant
Rhinoplasty
Creates natural and
beautiful nose line
Without any artificial implants
What is
GNG’s No-Plant Rhinoplasty?
No-Implant Rhinoplasty is
a method of heightening the nasal bridge
by using self or donated cartilage and dermis
without any artificial implants such as silicone or gore-tex.
Therefore, there will be no side effects that can be seen when using artificial implants
and it will definitely create natural looking nose.
GNG’s No-Plant Rhinoplasty Methods
Dermis/Cartilage
Septal Cartilage
The septum has a proper thickness and strength and it is very suitable for creating the shape of the nose bridge/tip.
-
Conchal Cartilage
Conchal cartilage is very soft to make the shape into a natural and smooth looking appearance.
-
Rib Cartilage
Rib cartilage is firm enough to build the nose with strong bearing capability.
-
Dermis near the Hip
The dermis taken from the hip is the thickest dermis of our body. It is used to design the shape of the nose to balance the face.
Usage of Living Implant
(when complication with
autologous tissue)
-
Donated Dermis / Donated Cartilage
When the situation cannot be solved with autologous tissue, donated dermis/cartilage can be considered. It is the most safe product approved by the FDA and it has been proven to be clinically safe when treating burn patients for many decades.

Ratio of Actual Surgery Patients at GNG
The percentage of patients who underwent the rhinoplasty is about equal for implant and no-plant. In recent years, there has been a rapid growth of interest in no-plant rhinoplasty among many patients that are in need to have more natural looking nose line.
Why patients chose
No-Plant Rhinoplasty!
The patient underwent implant rhinoplasty
which created a see through effect and artificial line.
Therefore, the nose was re-operated with no-plant method.

No-plant rhinoplasty through
advanced technology
Patent for “No-Plant Rhinoplasty”!
GNG Hospital obtained a patent for No-Plant Rhinoplasty after years of continuous efforts and studies towards advanced technology.
We have gained the patent to further strengthen the idea and the need of no-plant rhinoplasty.
We will continue to be the pioneer of no-plant method of rhinoplasty.
03.
Prevention of absorption
due to finely diced cartilage
used as powder.
The percentage of revision surgery due to absorption
There were many cases of absorption when only using the dermis.
At GNG, we have many surgical experiences that accumulated in the past to be sure that using the cartilage
as a powder will lower the rate of absorption. Therefore, re-operation due to absorption happens very rarely.

Creation of the perfect nose line
by dicing and grinding the cartilage to a powder form.
At GNG Hospital we grind the cartilage finely
into a powder.

-
When cartilage is implanted as whole
▼ 1 year post surgery with dermis only
Nose bridge may bend
Nose bridge may become stiff
Not so perfect nose line
Unnatural effect after 1-2 years
→ As the capsules surrounding the cartilage dissolve,
the cartilage will reveal through the skin -
When cartilage is diced and grinded
Almost no chance of sagging
Almost no chance of stiffness
An ideal nose line
Surgery is not visibly apparent
→ As the capsules surrounding the cartilage dissolve,
the cartilage will not reveal through the skin -
Experienced in Cartilage Grinding
Grinding method is widely used internationally.
It definitely requires more effort and time consuming so it is not much recommended and used in Korea.However, at GNG Hospital, we have experienced medical practitioners to give
our patients the utmost satisfactory results.
Process of Cartilage Harvest for No-Plant Rhinoplasty
05.
Natural nose line and sense of
actual skin
When it is attracted with the skin, the grinded cartilage does not appear in the X-Ray or CT Scan.
It will feel soft without any effects of artificial implants.
06.
Rare cases of side effects
that may occur just like when artificial implants are used
-
It can be used for the thin nasal tip
because the grinded cartilage will attract with the skin
No rejection will occur
since no artificial implant is used
No deformity since the grinded cartilage will perceive as its own skin
It will create more firm structured nose since the cartilage and dermis will cover up the bone
Q&A for No-Plant Rhinoplasty
Q. Does it really not show up in CT & X-Ray?
A. They are not visible on X-Rays and CT in airports or hospitals when donated dermis/cartilage are used
since it is the same material as the actual human dermis or cartilage.
Q. Is the donated dermis/cartilage considered safe?
A. It is approved by the U.S. FDA and Korea Food & Drug Administration.
It is characterized as excellent suitability and safety.
Q. I am a foreign study abroad student and it is difficult to go to the hospital outside Korea.
Therefore, I am afraid that it will cause inflammation after the surgery.
A. Our patients who have undergone surgery at GNG did not experience inflammation after one month.
It is recommended for patients who have difficulties for doctor’s visits.

Usage of the HEPA filter ventilation system in all operation rooms.
What is a HEPA filter ventilated operation room?
The air outside the operating room is filtered cleanly by the HEPA filter and circulated inside.
Because air is circulated by providing clean air through a positive pressure system, you don’t need to worry about infection caused by air pollution thus having surgery with confidence.
Also, there is an air-shower system that shakes off contaminated dust before entering the operating room. We strive to do our best in preventing infection through sterilization and thorough infection control of all medical devices.
Be rest assured! GNG’s operation rooms are meticulously clean.
