This is a procedure that reduces widened nostrils to make the nose look smaller and more prominent.
Nose tip reduction is a surgery that reduces the horizontal width of the nose by excising and suturing wide or thick nostrils. When performed in conjunction with tip rhinoplasty and augmentation rhinoplasty, it further refines the frontal impression.
A portion is excised along the inner or outer boundary of the nostril to reduce its width. To minimize scarring, the incision line is hidden within the natural boundary.
Balance is important, as excessive resection can make the nostrils unnaturally small. Depending on the incision method, micro-scars may remain.
The incision line is hidden in the natural crease of the nostril border, making it inconspicuous, and fades over time.
As the width of the nostrils decreases, the exposure of the nostrils is also reduced, but excessive reduction can look unnatural, so balance is important.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
It usually takes about 3 to 7 days to return to daily activities, and the recovery period is 7 days after stitch removal. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-recovery care methods and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
