1. Is my own rib cartilage used or the donor rib is used??
Your own rib cartilage is better than a donor rib
Because donor rib is easy to reabsorb.

> 2. If my rib cartilage is used, which cartilage??
Right 7th rib cartilage will be used. Harvesting right 7th rib cartilage is safest. 7th rib cartilage is longest among all of rib cartilages.

> 3. What is the general recovery period? How long do I have to stay?
If the your own rib cartilage is used, postoperative 14days, all stitch out
I recommend that you stay for 14days.
