What Is NewGel Nose Surgery?

Cartilage, biologic adhesive, and a hidden internal incision.

According to the clinic's brochure, the procedure combines autologous cartilage (septal, ear, or rib cartilage when appropriate), an autologous biologic adhesive derived from the patient's own blood, a closed or minimally visible internal incision, and implant-free structural rhinoplasty whenever suitable. The goal is to enhance nasal shape while maintaining harmony with your facial proportions.

Benefits

What the technique emphasizes.

	What it means in practice
Personalized nose design	One-to-one design rather than a standard shape
Hidden internal incision	A closed or minimally visible internal incision
Reduced use of synthetic implants	Implant-free structural rhinoplasty whenever suitable
Natural structural support	Support comes from your own cartilage grafts
Facial harmony-focused planning	The nose is designed in relation to your facial proportions

A closed approach is not suitable for every patient or every correction. Suitability depends on the degree of change required, your anatomy, cartilage availability, and whether the case is primary or revision.

Treatment Planning

What every patient undergoes.

Facial Proportion Analysis

The nose is planned in relation to your overall facial proportions.

Bridge & Tip Assessment

The nasal bridge and tip are assessed separately before design.

Skin Thickness Evaluation

Skin thickness influences achievable definition and technique.

Cartilage Availability

How much usable cartilage you have determines what is possible.

Individualized Planning

The surgical plan is built from these findings, supported by 3D CT evaluation.

Who May Be a Candidate?

Candidates are evaluated individually.

This approach may suit you if you

Prefer to avoid permanent synthetic implants
Desire a natural-looking but defined nose
Want a rhinoplasty with hidden internal incisions
Are concerned about implant-related complications
Are seeking a personalized primary rhinoplasty

A consultation determines your plan

A closed incision is not suitable for every patient
Cartilage availability limits what can be built
Harvesting ear or rib cartilage involves a donor site
Skin thickness affects how much definition is achievable

A consultation, examination, and 3D CT evaluation are required to determine whether this approach is appropriate for you.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery varies by extent and healing.

Swelling

Temporary swelling is common during early recovery.

Bruising

Bruising is common and improves as healing progresses.

Nasal Congestion

Temporary congestion is common as internal tissues heal.

Follow-Up

Follow-up appointments monitor healing and outcomes.

Recovery varies according to the extent of surgery and individual healing. Your surgeon provides a personalized timeline.

About Your Surgeon

Dr. Son Hee-dong,
plastic surgeon.

A closed approach hides the incision — it does not simplify the work.

The graft still has to be shaped precisely and placed blind, which is why cartilage availability and planning matter more here, not less.

Frequently Asked

NewGel Nose Surgery in Busan
— your questions, answered.

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.
