Hello. This is Face Plastic Surgery Clinic in Korea.
Today, we would like to share a Korea rhinoplasty case involving a young female patient who was concerned about her wide, bulbous nasal tip and low nasal bridge. She often felt that her nose lacked definition when viewed from the front, giving her an overall soft and blurry facial impression.
During the initial consultation, we thoroughly assessed the harmony of her facial features, including the forehead, eyes, and nose. The nasolabial angle and nasal tip were not well proportioned, and the center of her face lacked a stable axis due to the wide and flat nose structure. In such cases, simply placing a silicone implant is usually insufficient to achieve balanced results. A structural approach is required to refine both the bridge and tip.
For this patient, we decided to perform a Korea rhinoplasty procedure using both a silicone implant for the nasal bridge and ear cartilage for tip refinement. The ear cartilage serves as a natural support to reshape and lift the nasal tip, allowing for more delicate control and a smoother contour. Since the cartilage is autologous, it has a good chance of integration and minimizes risks related to foreign materials.
The surgery was performed under local anesthesia with sedation. We began by making a precise incision to access the nasal structures. The wide lower lateral cartilages were narrowed, and ear cartilage was placed to support and elevate the tip. A custom silicone implant was then inserted to raise the nasal bridge in a natural and continuous line from the forehead to the tip. The thickness and length of the implant were carefully adjusted based on the patient’s facial structure and skin characteristics.
Immediately after the procedure, there was temporary swelling and pressure, which is common after Korea rhinoplasty. Over the recovery period, these symptoms gradually subsided. The patient noticed that her face appeared more defined and centered. The improved nasal projection helped enhance her overall facial balance, especially in frontal views.
Many patients seeking Korea rhinoplasty have concerns similar to this case—flat nasal bridges or wide tips that result in soft, undefined facial features. For these issues, structural correction is essential. It’s not enough to focus on height alone. Harmony between the tip and the bridge, along with proper projection, determines whether the face appears refined and balanced.
Ear cartilage is particularly useful for shaping the tip, especially for patients with thin skin or prominent nasal tips. It allows for natural flexibility and long-term stability. In this case, it helped prevent an overly sharp or artificial appearance.
The goal of Korea rhinoplasty is not just to make the nose taller. It is to restore balance and proportion across the central face. A well-contoured nose acts as an axis that enhances the impression of the entire face. That’s why individualized planning based on facial structure is crucial.
Comparing the patient’s preoperative and postoperative photos shows that her facial impression became noticeably clearer, even though the change in nose shape was not overly dramatic. This subtle yet meaningful difference comes from thoughtful structural correction and detailed planning.
This Korea rhinoplasty procedure, performed in Daejeon, allowed the patient to feel more confident about her appearance. She now sees her reflection with a greater sense of satisfaction and ease. For those considering rhinoplasty in Korea, we recommend focusing not just on the bridge height, but on how the nose contributes to your overall facial harmony.
All surgical procedures carry the possibility of swelling, bruising, or other complications.
