What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a non-incisional, lesser-invasive solution for those wanting to make an aesthetic change to their nose. Whereas surgical rhinoplasty is an intensive surgery with a long recovery time and results taking weeks or months to be truly seen, non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed by injecting a filler or filler-like material into the nose to create the desired contour.
LABOM’s CarGel Autologous Cartilage Nose Injections
LABOM is the creator and patent holder of the CarGel non-surgical rhinoplasty method. Whereas standard non-surgical rhinoplasty methods use filler to change the shape of the nose, CarGel uses your own cartilage (ear, septal, or rib), finely diced and mixed with an adhesive extracted from the fibrin in your own blood to create a ‘cartilage gel’, which is then precisely injected into the bridge or tip of your nose to achieve your nose goals. This innovative rhinoplasty method uses completely autologous materials and requires no incisions to me made, meaning healing is faster and has less chance of complications.

Why Get Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty at LABOM?
CarGel Rhinoplasty: Patented by LABOM
CarGel Rhinoplasty is a patented surgical method developed exclusively by LABOM Plastic Surgery, driven by continuous research to deliver higher-standard medical techniques and discover each individual’s unique beauty.
Rather than injecting autologous cartilage alone, it is co-injected with a concentrated fibrin extract isolated from your own blood.
This concentrated fibrin extract increases viscosity to prevent the diced cartilage fragments from scattering, while providing essential growth factors that enhance the survival rate of the grafted cartilage.

No Artificial Materials Used
The CarGel materials created from your own body’s materials is undetectable even on CT scans and free from foreign body sensation, making it highly recommended for those hesitant about synthetic implants.

Only Safe Autologous Cartilage
CarGel rhinoplasty is extremely safe and natural, utilizing your own cartilage – such as septal, ear, or costal (rib) cartilage – and adhesive created from your own blood, promoting wound recovery and accelerated tissue healing.

No Incisions Means No Scarring
Because CarGel does not require an incision, there is no scarring left on the nose at all. Only the small incisions to harvest the cartilage are created, heal quickly, and are easily concealable.

No. You can be discharged on the same day.
How long is the recovery period?
Recovery takes about seven days.
Will CarGel rhinoplasty leave scars on my nose?
No incisions are made on the nose, so it does not leave nasal scarring. Small incisions may be needed to harvest cartilage, but they heal quickly and can be easily concealed.
Are artificial implants used in CarGel rhinoplasty?
No. CarGel uses materials from your own body rather than artificial materials or synthetic implants.
How is the CarGel material prepared?

It may be suitable for people seeking quick recovery without visible nasal scarring, people who are hesitant about synthetic implants, revision patients who experienced implant-related side effects, and people who have reached the limits of repeated filler-based nose procedures.
