Large Nose Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Do you feel that your nose appears overly large or dominates your facial features? Large nose surgery—often referred to as nasal reduction or reductive rhinoplasty—is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size and projection of the nose while maintaining natural facial harmony. In Korea, a global leader in advanced cosmetic techniques, large nose surgery is performed with exceptional precision to help you achieve a more refined, proportional appearance.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in individualized rhinoplasty procedures that address the size, width, and shape of the nose without compromising ethnic identity or facial uniqueness. Whether you're concerned with a high nasal bridge, a prominent tip, or wide nostrils, our expert surgeons are here to guide you toward a balanced, elegant transformation.
Why Choose Large Nose Surgery?
Large nose surgery is ideal for individuals who:
- Have an overly prominent nasal bridge or tip
- Feel the nose is disproportionate to other facial features
- Want to reduce a long or drooping nose
- Struggle with a wide nasal base or flared nostrils
- Seek subtle reduction without dramatically altering their appearance
This surgery is often chosen by patients who want a softer profile, better facial balance, and improved self-confidence.
Customized Rhinoplasty Techniques at Light Clinic
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we take a comprehensive, personalized approach to large nose correction. Using advanced 3D imaging and structural assessment, we plan every procedure to complement your face, not copy a template.
Common Techniques Used in Large Nose Surgery:
- Dorsal Hump Reduction: Shaving down a high or bony bridge to smooth the nasal profile.
- Tip Reduction and Refinement: Sculpting the nasal tip to reduce projection, width, or bulbous appearance.
- Nasal Bone Narrowing (Osteotomy): Reshaping wide nasal bones to create a more delicate silhouette.
- Septoplasty (if needed): Correcting a deviated septum to improve function and appearance.
- Alar Base Reduction: Narrowing wide nostrils for better proportionality with the newly contoured nose.
- Each procedure is tailored to your facial structure, ethnic background, and aesthetic goals.
Consultation and Planning
Our process starts with an in-depth consultation where we listen to your concerns and assess your facial harmony. The goal is to create a refined nose that enhances—not changes—who you are.
During your consultation, we will:
- Perform a full facial analysis and 3D imaging
- Evaluate bone and cartilage structure
- Discuss your desired nasal proportions and profile
- Show before-and-after photos of similar patients
- Explain all surgical options, recovery details, and realistic outcomes
We believe honest, thorough planning is the foundation of successful and satisfying results.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Large nose surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on complexity. It is conducted on an outpatient basis, and patients can return home the same day.
Step-by-Step Overview:
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered for your comfort.
- Incisions: Made inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or with a small incision at the base of the nose (open rhinoplasty).
- Reshaping: Bone, cartilage, and soft tissue are adjusted to reduce size, improve shape, and restore balance.
- Suturing and Support: Internal and external sutures are placed, and a nasal splint is applied.
The technique is chosen based on your anatomy and the level of correction required.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery after large nose surgery requires care and patience, but most patients are able to resume light activities within a week.
Post-Op Timeline and Tips:
- Days 1–7: Swelling, bruising, and nasal congestion are common. Keep the splint in place and avoid blowing your nose.
- Week 1: Splint and any external stitches are removed.
- Weeks 2–3: Major swelling and bruising subside; most people return to work or school.
- Months 1–6: Final shape refines gradually as residual swelling decreases.
Follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor healing and ensure you’re happy with your results.
