The Banboseon Nose — Does It Suit Everyone? Checking Facial Structure and Why RIBFIT™ Is Considered

01

What kind of line is the banboseon nose, and why doesn't it suit everyone?

The banboseon nose is a line where the tip rises slightly higher than the bridge, drawing a curve. If the tip angle is excessive, the nostrils can show from the front like an upturned nose; and depending on forehead volume and midface length, the same line looks different — so it is hard to apply as-is to every face.

Nor can a trendy style be implemented as-is on every face. Not simply because of technical limits, but because face shape, the angle continuing from forehead volume, midface length, and so on all have an effect.

However, image improvement can also be pursued by supplementing other conditions together, such as forehead fat grafting. So rather than declaring "possible or not" at the consultation stage, we help you understand sufficiently by generating a virtual image based on your directly photographed face.

Among actual consultation cases, there was a woman in her 20s whose tip spread and was blunt — a bulbous type that looked somewhat flat — who showed us a celebrity photo. Even then, the design was planned by carefully checking everything from the basic facial skeleton to skin type. Because the nose sits at the center of the face, a mere difference in the nasolabial angle can change the impression greatly — so it is important to weigh varied angles and forms.

02

Can the banboseon curve be made without an implant?

The core of the banboseon nose is a smooth curve, and in the past silicone was used for it. But artificial implants are materials for which inflammation or contracture is reported in some cases.

That said, even using autologous dermis or ear cartilage to avoid inflammation, line deformation was unavoidable as absorption progressed over time. Even without contracture, satisfaction can drop greatly just from the tip descending.

The method that emerged to resolve this dilemma is RIBFIT™, which finely processes rib cartilage — an autologous tissue. Because it uses only autologous rib cartilage, not donor, inflammatory reaction is low, and a sharp, delicate design like silicone's is possible. Differences by material can be seen in more detail in the autologous rib RIBFIT™ guide.

03

Does RIBFIT™ have no problems with tip descent or warping?

Rib cartilage is certainly sturdy, but inserted as-is it can occasionally bend due to the cartilage's inherent nature.

RIBFIT™ accounts for even this structural limit by finely processing the cartilage, then compressing it at high density into a 3D custom mold. Combined with precise CT imaging and 3D simulation, it completes a natural, high bridge. With deformation probability on the low side, you can expect the softness and retention of something that feels originally yours, while keeping the banboseon nose's characteristic soft curve.

To reduce the chance of the tip angle descending or the shape changing over time after surgery, the design can be aimed at lowering the possibility of revision from the start. Actual cases can be seen in the before-and-after photos.

Summary — the line is decided by structure, not trend

If you want a banboseon nose, what must be checked first is not "is that shape pretty" but "is that line possible given my facial structure." Because if the tip angle is excessive it can look like an upturned nose, and depending on forehead and midface conditions the same line can become an entirely different impression. The material too must be chosen by whether it can keep the curve for a long time — and autologous rib RIBFIT™ can be reviewed as that alternative. Rather than a shape stamped out identically, please decide through sufficient consultation and analysis in a direction that brings out your own unique charm.
