Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty by nose type

A humped, deviated, drooping or short nose each needs a different technique, so Dream classifies the problem first and then plans the operation case by case.

Who it suits

  • Dorsal hump or a crooked bridge
  • Tip that droops when smiling
  • Short nose with visible nostrils

Technique highlights

  • Bone, cartilage and skin problems separated in the plan
  • Aesthetic and breathing issues planned together
  • Septal cartilage used to reinforce the framework when needed

Surgical steps

  • Photo analysis plus internal nasal examination
  • Technique matched to the problem, e.g. hump reduction, septal work
  • Surgery and reconstruction of the framework

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

Can a crooked nose be straightened?

Yes, by realigning the bone and septum, though the outcome depends on the original deviation and may not be perfectly straight.

Will breathing improve?

If the cause is a deviated septum, septal correction can improve airflow.
