What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic or reconstructive procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, or functionality of the nose. It can address aesthetic concerns, such as a crooked or prominent nose, and functional issues, like breathing difficulties caused by structural abnormalities. This highly customizable procedure helps create a balanced and proportionate facial appearance while improving nasal function when needed.

Overall Procedure of Rhinoplasty

  • Consultation and Planning
    The process begins with a detailed consultation where the surgeon evaluates the patient’s nasal structure, discusses their concerns and goals, and creates a customized surgical plan.

  • Anesthesia
    The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure the patient’s comfort during surgery.

  • Surgical Procedure
    Depending on the technique, the surgeon makes incisions either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open rhinoplasty). The nose is then reshaped by adjusting the bone, cartilage, and soft tissues to achieve the desired look or improve functionality.

  • Closure and Recovery
    After reshaping, the incisions are carefully closed, and the nose is stabilized with splints or bandages. Recovery typically takes 1–2 weeks, with swelling gradually subsiding and full results appearing over several months.

Types of Rhinoplasty

  • Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
    This type focuses on enhancing the appearance of the nose by reshaping or resizing it to achieve better harmony with the rest of the face. It can involve refining the nasal tip, reducing a hump, or altering the nostrils’ shape.
  • Functional Rhinoplasty
    Functional rhinoplasty aims to improve breathing and correct structural issues, such as a deviated septum, collapsed nasal valve, or other airway obstructions.
  • Revision Rhinoplasty
    This procedure is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous rhinoplasty, addressing concerns like asymmetry, dissatisfaction, or functional issues after the initial surgery.
  • Ethnic Rhinoplasty
    Ethnic rhinoplasty tailors the procedure to preserve the natural characteristics of the patient’s ethnicity while achieving their desired aesthetic or functional goals. It’s common for patients from diverse backgrounds who want subtle and balanced enhancements.

Cost of Rhinoplasty in Korea

The cost of rhinoplasty in South Korea typically ranges from $3,500 to $10,000 USD, depending on the type of procedure and the clinic’s reputation. Simple surgeries like nasal tip refinement are more affordable, while more complex cases, such as revision rhinoplasty or combining cosmetic and functional corrections, cost more. Factors like the surgeon’s skill, advanced techniques, and materials used, such as implants or cartilage, also impact the price.

Many clinics in Korea provide packages for international patients, including consultations, surgery, aftercare, and sometimes even accommodation. South Korea is known for skilled surgeons, modern facilities, and competitive prices, making it a popular destination for rhinoplasty. Patients can expect natural, customized results that enhance their facial harmony.

Asked Questions

Whether you will have visible nose surgery scars will depend on the rhinoplasty technique that is used during your surgery.

If you have a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made on the inside of the nose, so no scarring will be visible.
The results of a nose job are permanent. However, the normal aging process can cause gradual changes to the appearance of your nose.
A rhinoplasty can correct both the appearance and function of the nose. Some appearance concerns it can correct include, a crooked nose, nasal bumps, nose projection, nostrils, the nasal tip, and dorsal humps. A rhinoplasty can also correct a deviated septum and breathing problems.
