Autologous Cartilage Rhinoplasty in Jakarta, Indonesia
Performed by board-certified plastic & reconstructive surgeons: dr. Enrina Diah, Sp.BP-RE (KKF) and dr. Grace Boaz, Sp.BP-RE · Ultimo Aesthetic & Dental Clinic Jakarta
Cartilage Rhinoplasty (autologous nose surgery) is an advanced reconstructive technique performed at Ultimo Clinic Jakarta that utilizes 100% of the patient’s own tissue—harvested from the septum, ear (conchal), or rib (costal cartilage)—to sculpt a strong, durable nasal bridge and tip without synthetic implants or rejection risks.
While synthetic silicone or ePTFE implants are widely used, they carry inherent risks of capsular contracture, implant migration, thinning of the overlying nasal skin, or late-stage infection. Autologous cartilage represents the pinnacle of biocompatibility in plastic surgery.
Because the graft is your own living tissue, it fully integrates with your nasal blood supply and soft tissues. This creates an aesthetically refined, structurally durable result that both looks and moves naturally—ideal for achieving balanced Asian facial harmony without an artificial, operated appearance.
Clinical Indications: Who Is a Candidate?
This procedure is highly recommended for patients in Jakarta and the surrounding areas with the following clinical conditions:
- Low Nasal Dorsum / Weak Bridge: Individuals seeking natural bridge elevation and structural integrity without artificial foreign bodies.
- Short Nose or Lack of Tip Projection: Cases requiring robust structural framework (columellar strut and septal extension grafts) to safely lengthen the nose.
- Revision & Corrective Rhinoplasty: Correcting complications from prior silicone procedures, including thinning skin, implant extrusion, or contracted scar tissue.
- Congenital & Reconstructive Corrections: Restoring nasal framework following facial trauma or repairing cleft lip nasal deformities.
Cartilage Donor Options: Septal vs. Conchal vs. Costal Cartilage

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does autologous cartilage rhinoplasty last?
Because autologous cartilage is living human tissue harvested from your own body, it establishes its own vascular network and incorporates permanently into the nasal anatomy. Unlike synthetic implants, it is permanent and does not need periodic replacement.
Is rib cartilage harvesting painful, and does it leave a noticeable scar?
The donor incision is small (1.5 to 2 cm) and strategically placed within the natural inframammary crease beneath the breast or chest, rendering the scar virtually imperceptible over time. Post-operative discomfort is managed with modern oral analgesics, and most patients resume light routines within 5–7 days.
Where is Ultimo Clinic located for rhinoplasty consultations in Jakarta?
In-person clinical consultations and comprehensive facial aesthetic assessments are held at Ultimo Aesthetic & Dental Clinic located in South Jakarta (Plaza Asia / Mega Kuningan area), Indonesia, led by senior plastic surgeons dr. Enrina Diah and dr. Grace Boaz.
How does the surgical team prevent rib graft warping?
