Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty for a low nasal bridge

Raises the bridge in proportion to the face using an implant and/or autologous cartilage, with tip refinement from ear or septal cartilage for a natural line.

Who it suits

  • Low or flat nasal bridge
  • Short, upturned or undefined nasal tip
  • Wants better overall facial proportion

Technique highlights

  • Material chosen to suit each nasal structure
  • Autologous cartilage at the tip for safety
  • Designed alongside forehead, chin and lip proportions

Surgical steps

  • Analysis of nasal structure and facial proportion
  • Open or closed technique and material selection
  • Bridge augmentation and cartilage tip work
  • Suture removal and follow-up

Recovery & aftercare

  • Nasal splint removed around day 5-7
  • Recommended stay in Korea 7-10 days
  • Most swelling gone in a month; the shape settles at 3-6 months

Risks & things to consider

  • Avoid glasses pressing on the bridge early on
  • Avoid any impact to the nose for at least a month
  • Previous rhinoplasty must be assessed as a revision case

Frequently asked questions

Implant or cartilage — which is better?

Most cases combine both: implant or cartilage on the bridge, with the patient's own cartilage at the tip to reduce the risk of extrusion.
