Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty (augmentation)

Dream combines an implant for the dorsum with the patient's own cartilage at the tip, so the bridge lines up with the forehead while the tip stays soft and natural.

Who it suits

  • Low or flat nasal bridge
  • Short, upturned tip
  • Wants a balanced side profile

Technique highlights

  • Own cartilage at the tip lowers the risk of extrusion
  • Height designed to the forehead-nose-chin proportion
  • Implant chosen by the patient's skin thickness

Surgical steps

  • Analysis of nasal framework and skin thickness
  • Open or closed approach as planned
  • Implant placed and tip refined with cartilage

Recovery & aftercare

  • Nasal splint for about 5-7 days
  • Sutures and splint removed before flying home
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 7-10 days
  • The final shape settles at 3-6 months

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

Silicone or cartilage?

The dorsum usually takes an implant for a straight line, while the tip uses the patient's own cartilage for safety and a natural look.

How long is the swelling?

Obvious swelling settles in the first two weeks; the final shape appears at 3-6 months.
