Male Rhinoplasty in Korea, Gangnam

No. Edition also performs non-implant rhinoplasty, using autologous tissue to create more natural results.

Yes, at Edition, we simultaneously improve not only aesthetic issues but also functional problems such as deviated septum, nasal valve stenosis, sinusitis, and rhinitis.

Light glasses can be worn 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Yes, through accurate diagnosis, we solve various types of problems such as revision rhinoplasty with PRP and autologous costal cartilage revision rhinoplasty, completing a nose line that harmonizes with the face.

The target line is different. For men, keeping the line from the bridge to the tip close to straight and not raising the tip excessively often suits the face better. Applying the curves and angles used for women as they are can make the nose look out of place with the rest of the face, so we design it by also looking at the position of the forehead and lips.

Height is not set by a number; it is determined by its relationship with the slope of the forehead, the angle of the tip, and the width of the face. Raising it excessively makes the nose alone stand out in profile and increases skin tension. At Edition, we confirm the structure of the nasal bone and cartilage through precise 3D CT diagnosis and design the height within a range the tissue can support.

In most cases, surgery looks obvious not because of the height itself but because the line created does not match the facial proportions. For men, keeping a straighter line and a lower tip angle often looks more natural. We explain after diagnosis how much would look less obvious on your face.

Reducing the alae too much can upset facial width and balance and actually look unnatural, so for men we tend to adjust within a range where the nose does not become too narrow from the front. The approach differs depending on whether the problem is the alae alone or a blunt tip that makes the nose look wide, so we decide after diagnosis.

If the design refines only the hump while keeping the straight flow of the bridge, the look can become softer while still retaining a masculine line. How much to refine is decided by looking at its relationship with the line connecting the forehead and the lips in profile, and we first agree on the direction during the consultation.

The splint and sutures on the nose are usually removed about 7 days after surgery, after which swelling gradually decreases. However, recovery speed varies from person to person and swelling or bruising may remain, so follow-up is necessary. If you have a set date to return, tell us during your consultation and we will plan together.

The splint is usually removed about 5–7 days after surgery, and you can wash your face from then on. However, swelling remains even after the splint is removed, so it takes several more weeks for the contour of the nose to take shape, and the final shape settles after that.

Before the splint is removed, the fixation on the upper nose is easy to notice and hard to conceal; after it is removed, swelling and bruising remain mainly around the nose. Recovery varies by individual, so how well it can be concealed differs from person to person.

Yes. Along with the visible deviation, we check the internal structure of the nose to see whether there is an underlying cause such as a deviated septum or nasal valve stenosis. Edition performs both cosmetic rhinoplasty and surgery for nasal conditions, so shape and breathing can be reviewed at the same time. Whether to combine them is decided based on the results of your diagnosis.

Implant-free rhinoplasty using your own tissue, such as autologous rib cartilage, autologous septal cartilage, or autologous dermis, is possible. Because the materials available depend on the amount and condition of tissue needed, we confirm the structure with a 3D CT diagnosis before deciding on the method.

At Edition, we first check the structure of the nasal bone and cartilage through precise 3D CT diagnosis. This process identifies in advance any deviation, septal condition, or traces of previous surgery that are hard to see from the outside, and reflects them in the surgical plan. Other preparations will be explained during your appointment.

Alcohol can increase swelling and the risk of bleeding, so we recommend avoiding it in the early stage of recovery. When you can resume depends on the swelling and how the wound heals, so we will advise you after checking your condition at follow-up visits.

It is best to avoid activities that raise blood pressure or could impact the nose until the shape has settled. Be especially careful with ball sports or contact sports. We will advise you on when to resume each stage based on your recovery.

Rather than photos of celebrities you admire, it helps the diagnosis if you bring photos from the angles that bother you and note whether you have breathing discomfort such as nasal congestion. At Edition Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daehee Han personally handles 3D CT diagnosis, consultation, surgery, and follow-up, and the clinic is a 1-minute walk from Exit 10 of Gangnam Station.
