Rhinoplasty in Korea: Key Facts

Definition. Rhinoplasty is surgery that reshapes the nasal bridge and tip to improve appearance and, when needed, breathing function. Each case is designed around the patient's overall facial proportions using 3D CT analysis.

Common implant and graft materials

Recovery: most swelling and bruising subside within 1-2 weeks; the final natural line settles over roughly 3-6 months.

Material is chosen to fit the individual nose rather than applying one method to everyone. — Dr. Daehee Han, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

I'm worried my nose will look unnatural after rhinoplasty.

The approach prioritizes natural change. Through a design that considers overall facial proportions, the aim is a natural result rather than an obvious one.

How long is recovery after rhinoplasty?

Most swelling and bruising subside within 1-2 weeks, and it takes roughly 3-6 months for the natural line to fully settle.

How much does rhinoplasty cost?

It varies depending on the surgical scope, materials used, and whether it is a revision. Exact cost is explained after 3D CT analysis and an in-person consultation.

Are there any precautions before rhinoplasty?

Medications that affect blood clotting, such as aspirin and vitamin E, should be stopped about 2 weeks before surgery. Fasting is required on the day of surgery, and detailed guidance is provided at booking.
