Rebuild Support, Restore Shape, and Enhance Breathing

Structural Rhinoplasty Correction focuses on rebuilding and stabilizing the nasal framework to improve both appearance and function. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgery specialist uses advanced structural grafting techniques to create a strong, natural-looking, and long-lasting nose shape—especially after prior surgery or trauma.

When Structural Correction Is Needed

• Tip feels weak, droopy, or collapsed
• Nose appears pinched, scooped, or uneven
• Breathing difficulty from valve collapse or obstruction
• Loss of height or support from prior over-resection
• Visible asymmetry or structural irregularities
• Trauma-related deformities or congenital weakness

Our Structural Approach

• Reinforce first, refine second for durability and stability
• Rebuild the septum + support pillars before tip/bridge shaping
• Use SPT (support-projection-tension) principles for balance & longevity
• Maintain ethnic aesthetic harmony and avoid an “over-done” look

Cartilage Options

• Septal cartilage (preferred for stability and natural integration)
• 耳软骨用于塑造柔和的轮廓和边缘
• Rib cartilage when larger structural support is required
• Careful shaping to prevent warping or stiffness

Surgical Details

• Open rhinoplasty approach for precision and visibility
• Correcting scar tissue, re-establishing strong support lines
• Spreader grafts to open the airway and refine dorsal lines
• Tip grafting (shield/cap/strut) for definition and strength
• Alar batten grafts or alar rim support when needed
• Optionally smooth dorsal profile or add gentle height

Expected Experience

• Anesthesia: general anesthesia in accredited surgical center
• Duration: ~3–4+ hours depending on complexity
• Recovery:
• Bruising/swelling: 1–2 weeks
• Routine activities: after 1 week
• Final refinement: 6–12 months (slower with scar tissue)

Results You Can Expect

• Straighter, more defined bridge and tip
• Better tip projection and rotation control
• Stable breathing and airflow improvement
• Smooth dorsum and natural profile balance
• Stronger nose foundation to prevent future collapse

Aftercare & Follow-Ups

• Cold compresses & head elevation first 48 hours
• Avoid pressure on nose (glasses, sleeping prone)
• Saline irrigation & gentle cleaning
• Regular follow-ups for swelling and scar modulation
• Light activities after 1 week; exercise after 3–4 weeks

Risks & Prevention

• Bleeding, infection, minor asymmetry, graft shift/warping
• Minimized via careful graft carving, secure suturing, and staged planning when needed

Ideal Candidates

• Structural weakness from previous surgery
• Congenital support deficiency (weak cartilage)
• Post-trauma deformity
• Realistic expectations and commitment to healing timeline

这与美容隆鼻手术有何不同？是的——结构性矫正首先考虑的是支撑和功能，其次才是美观。

Will it change my ethnic features?
No. We honor your natural characteristics; goal is balanced, proportional refinement.

Is rib cartilage always needed?
Only for major reconstruction or when septal/ear cartilage is insufficient.
