The Baroko One-Step Sterile Stem-Cell Regeneration Process —
safely carried out under our in-clinic sterile system
Baroko's stem cell system is equipped with technology to safely and rapidly extract stem cells from the body.
Using a sterile closed system, only healthy, uncontaminated cells are collected,
resulting in a higher engraftment rate.
Baroko's Solution to Minimizing Inflammation Risk — "Yeonipko"
For patients who desire a more natural nasal contour post-surgery, "Yeonipko" uses only autologous cartilage particles
to smoothly connect the bridge and tip. Using 100% autologous cartilage,
the risk of post-operative inflammation is less than 1%, making it extremely safe.
Revision Rhinoplasty for Inflammation —
Resolved with Stem Cell Therapy + Cartilage-Particle Rhinoplasty!
Benefits of Cartilage-Particle Rhinoplasty
Inflammation Risk Below 1%
The risk of post-operative inflammation can be
reduced to less than 1%.
Prevents Removal and Shape Deformity
Severe inflammation and shape deformity
can be effectively prevented.
Impact Absorption Against Trauma
While the nose is vulnerable to movement and trauma,
autologous cartilage provides natural shock absorption.
No Warping Over Time
Unlike whole-piece cartilage grafts, cartilage particles do not warp over time.
Surgical Method

STEP 01
The synthetic implant causing the inflammation is removed
and a revision surgery plan is established.

STEP 02
After implant removal, stem cell therapy
is performed as needed.

STEP 03
After eliminating the inflammation, particulated autologous cartilage
is inserted into the nose to create
the desired shape.

STEP 04
Using only autologous cartilage, inflammation is almost non-existent,
occurring in less than 1% of cases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Revision Rhinoplasty for Inflammation
Based on a survey of rhinoplasty revision patients at Baroko in 2023, approximately 60% of revisions were due to implant-related inflammation, 20% from other implant complications (warping, show-through, exposure), 10% for height improvement, and 10% from shape dissatisfaction.
Generally, patients wait 6 months to 1 year after implant removal for natural healing; however, Baroko can perform revision surgery within 1 month of inflammation onset through stem cell therapy. Timing depends on the individual's condition.
The synthetic implant causing the inflammation is removed, and stem cell therapy is performed as needed. Particulated autologous cartilage is then inserted to define the shape. Using 100% autologous cartilage keeps inflammation risk below 1%. Surgery takes approximately 2–3 hours under IV sedation with same-day discharge (individual results may vary).
