Introduction
In general, "rib nose" refers to a rhinoplasty procedure that primarily uses autologous rib cartilage, which is carved and implanted to alter the height and shape of the nose. Sutures from a rib nose surgery are typically removed 7 to 15 days after the operation, depending on individual circumstances. Individuals with stronger constitutions and faster natural wound healing may have their stitches removed in about 7 to 10 days.
