First Rhinoplasty in Korea

The nasolabial angle refers to the angle between the nose and the upper lip. The ideal nasolabial angle is approximately 95°~105° for women and 90°~95° for men. If this angle is too narrow, the nasal tip may appear droopy, and if it is too wide, the nasal tip may appear upturned.

Edition incises the depressor septi nasi muscle to prevent the nasal tip from drooping. When building the nasal tip cartilage column (septum, ear cartilage, costal cartilage), the anterior nasal spine is erected vertically to ensure the nasal tip is maintained without the nasolabial angle area sinking or drooping.

Yes, by enhancing the three-dimensionality of the nose and correcting the nasolabial angle, the protruding mouth can appear relatively recessed. As the three-dimensionality of the entire midface increases, the protruding mouth is naturally alleviated.

Yes, it is possible. In fact, functional treatment can also improve rhinitis. Septal deviation, nasal valve stenosis, and hypertrophic rhinitis can be corrected simultaneously with rhinoplasty, and when undergoing surgery classified as a nasal disease, you may be eligible for insurance coverage depending on your private and actual expense insurance.

You can return to daily life after suture removal, and swelling gradually subsides over time. How quickly you recover and when the final shape settles depend on the extent of surgery and your individual condition, so we guide you through regular follow-up visits after surgery.

It is not only because the nose becomes higher. When the distance between the philtrum and the columella becomes defined and that angle falls between 90° and 100°, a protruding mouth can look relatively recessed. At Edition, we take this area into account when designing nose surgery.

A narrow nasolabial angle makes the nasal tip look droopy, so we design to widen the angle and lift the tip. Conversely, a wide nasolabial angle, where the tip is upturned and the nostrils are very visible, is narrowed to bring the tip down. In which direction and by how much to adjust is decided after looking at the length, height, and width of the nose together.

If only the height is raised, the nose may look higher in profile, but because the angle between the nose and the lip stays the same, a drooping impression may remain. Correcting the nasolabial angle at the same time makes the nose look higher even at the same height and enhances the definition of the midface. Addressing the nose and the nasolabial angle together is the core of this surgery.

Because the nose is the center of the face, defining the line from the forehead to the bridge and the line from the tip and columella to the philtrum can be expected to give the face a well-defined center. The three-dimensionality of the dorsum, where the bridge between the cheekbones transitions to the tip, is especially important. The degree of change varies with facial bone structure.

The size, shape, and degree of deviation of the nasal bones and septal cartilage, the condition and asymmetry of the skin tissue, and whether there is an existing implant and what type cannot be checked from the outside. We examine this structure three-dimensionally with 3D CT before creating a surgical plan tailored to you. A plan made without knowing the inside of the nose may change during surgery.

Septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and costal cartilage are selected or combined depending on the condition of the nose and the support required. Which cartilage is suitable depends on the amount of usable tissue and the degree of support the nose tip needs, so it is decided after 3D CT analysis.

Yes. Correcting the nasal tip and nasolabial angle can change how the nostrils look in proportion, so we usually evaluate them together. Whether to perform both at once is decided after looking at the overall proportions of the nose, and the cost will differ if the scope of surgery changes.

You can return to daily life after suture removal, but it takes longer for the swelling to subside and the shape of the nose to settle. When the final shape settles depends on the scope of surgery and your individual recovery, and we check it at each stage during regular follow-up.

In the early period after surgery, it is best to avoid wearing glasses so that no pressure is placed on the nasal bridge. When you can wear them again depends on the scope of surgery and your recovery, so we will advise you at your follow-up visits.

You will have regular follow-up visits at 1 day, 5 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery, and in between you can ask about your progress via WhatsApp. Dr. Daehee Han personally handles everything from consultation to surgery and follow-up.

There are complications that can generally occur after surgery, such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation, and their degree varies from person to person. Swelling, bruising, and temporary reduced sensation may occur, so follow-up on the set schedule is necessary. Please decide after a thorough consultation.

It depends on the scope of surgery (whether only the nose tip is corrected, or the nasal bone, nose tip, and septum are all corrected), the materials used (silicone, Gore-Tex, or autologous tissue), and whether it is a revision. Once the surgical plan is set through 3D CT diagnosis and consultation, our consultation manager will explain the cost.
