Rhinoplasty at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Are you seeking a more balanced, defined, or natural-looking nose? Rhinoplasty—commonly known as a “nose job”—is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Korea, celebrated for its precision, artistry, and transformative yet subtle results.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in advanced rhinoplasty techniques tailored to the unique facial features of each individual. Whether you want to enhance your nasal bridge, correct asymmetry, refine the tip, or improve breathing, our expert surgeons deliver results that blend seamlessly with your natural beauty.

Why Choose Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is more than a cosmetic enhancement—it can also restore confidence and improve nasal function. Patients seek rhinoplasty in Korea for a variety of reasons, including:

• Enhancing the height or shape of a low nasal bridge
• Refining a bulbous, drooping, or wide nasal tip
• Narrowing wide nostrils
• Correcting a deviated septum or breathing issues
• Repairing injuries or congenital irregularities
• Harmonizing facial proportions

With the help of experienced Korean plastic surgeons, rhinoplasty can dramatically yet naturally transform your profile while preserving your unique identity.

Types of Rhinoplasty Offered

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we provide a range of rhinoplasty techniques based on your goals, anatomy, and ethnicity. Our approach is highly customized to deliver safe, stable, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.

Rhinoplasty procedures include:

• Augmentation Rhinoplasty: Builds up a low nasal bridge using silicone, Gore-Tex, autologous cartilage, or dermal fat grafts—popular among East Asian patients.
• Tip Plasty: Refines the nose tip by reshaping cartilage for a more defined, elevated, or narrower tip.
• Bridge Reduction: Reduces a high dorsal hump or wide nasal bones for a smoother profile.
• Alar Base Reduction: Narrows flared nostrils using precise incisions for improved proportions.
• Septoplasty + Functional Rhinoplasty: Corrects breathing issues caused by a deviated septum or nasal obstruction.
• Revision Rhinoplasty: For patients unsatisfied with previous nose surgeries, we offer corrective procedures to improve both form and function.

Consultation and Planning

Your rhinoplasty journey begins with a detailed consultation at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic. We use 3D imaging and clinical examination to design a personalized surgical plan.

During the consultation, we will:

• Assess your nasal shape, facial proportions, and skin type
• Discuss your goals and expectations
• Explain which materials (e.g., cartilage, implants) will be used
• Show before-and-after cases of patients with similar features
• Review surgical techniques and incision placements
• Address concerns about scarring, healing, and outcomes

We believe that informed decisions lead to the most satisfying and confident results.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity.

Surgical Steps Include:

• Careful design and measurements based on facial harmony
• Precise reshaping of nasal bones and cartilage
• Grafting or implant placement (for augmentation cases)
• Skin and soft tissue repositioning
• Fine suturing to minimize scarring
• Application of a nasal splint and dressing

Both open and closed rhinoplasty approaches are used, depending on the treatment plan. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision at the columella (between nostrils), while closed rhinoplasty hides incisions entirely inside the nose.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from rhinoplasty is usually smooth with proper aftercare. Swelling and bruising are common in the first 1–2 weeks, especially around the eyes.

Post-Surgery Guidelines:

• Wear the nasal splint for 5–7 days
• Avoid strenuous activity and nose blowing for 2–3 weeks
• Sleep with your head elevated for the first week
• Avoid glasses resting on your nose for 4–6 weeks
• Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing
• Final results gradually refine over 3–6 months

Most patients return to work or daily life within 7–10 days, with makeup easily covering residual bruising.

Balanced, Natural-Looking Results

The best rhinoplasty doesn’t draw attention—it enhances your features in a way that feels authentic and effortless. Korean rhinoplasty is known for its finesse and commitment to natural beauty, avoiding the overly dramatic or artificial look.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our philosophy is to enhance your appearance with subtlety and sophistication, always respecting your facial harmony and cultural aesthetics.
