Rhinoplasty at PRIVATE: augmentation, revision and tip refinement
PRIVATE designs the nose from glabella-to-tip balance, using the patient's own cartilage and FDA/MFDS-approved materials. Surgery takes 40–120 minutes depending on complexity, with sutures removed after seven days.

Dorsal augmentation vs tip surgery
Dorsal augmentation suits a low or flat dorsum by creating a smooth line from the glabella to the tip. Takes about 60 minutes.
Implant-free tip surgery suits people whose dorsum is already high enough but whose tip lacks definition. It uses autologous cartilage so the tip flows naturally from the existing dorsum. Takes 40–50 minutes.
Short, long, crooked and hump nose correction
A short or upturned nose usually comes from insufficient skin or contracture after prior surgery. PRIVATE lengthens the tip with strong cartilage support and calculates height so the skin is not pulled back up.
A long or drooping tip is corrected by multi-point lifting and tuning the nasolabial angle. A crooked nose requires removing curved bone and deviated cartilage before rebuilding the framework.
Revision rhinoplasty at PRIVATE
PRIVATE begins by assessing height, length, nasolabial angle and contracture, then chooses septal, ear or rib cartilage and rebuilds the framework. Takes 90–120 minutes.

Alar reduction
Narrows the alar base toward the intercanthal width. Takes only about 20 minutes.
Bulbous nose correction
Slims both the dorsum and a bulbous tip by narrowing the tip cartilages and reducing soft tissue. Takes about 90 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
- Does revision always need rib cartilage?
- Not always. Septal or ear cartilage is used first; autologous or donor rib cartilage is added only when there is not enough cartilage or structural support.
- Why is an implant used even for a thin dorsal build?
- When the tip's shape or height changes, the line from glabella to tip may no longer flow smoothly, so an implant — even a thin one — is often used to keep the dorsal line continuous.
