Especially when it's your first surgery but you don't have enough septal or ear cartilage, donor rib cartilage may be considered✨ In the past, many people worried about the chance of inflammation, but with recent advances in processing and storage methods, its safety has improved a lot.

Is it okay to put someone else's cartilage in my nose? There's your own cartilage, and there's what we call donor cartilage, which is donated from a cadaver, so in a way, there are cases where we use someone else's cartilage.
For the bridge, I'd definitely recommend using your own cartilage. But for the tip, we usually use septal cartilage, which is the cartilage inside the nose, or ear cartilage, or your own rib cartilage. But in a first surgery, when you don't have very much of your own,
there are cases where we use donor rib cartilage. It's true that in the past, compared to your own cartilage, the chance of inflammation, which you could call a side effect, was a bit higher, but these days, the techniques for processing donor rib cartilage
and the way it's stored have improved a lot, so these days, I don't think there's really much of a difference in the chance of inflammation. For people who want a certain amount of definition and height,
I don't think you need to be afraid of the possibility of using donor rib cartilage.
