We use autologous cartilage to lift and gather a blunt or drooping nose tip to create a distinct and sophisticated nose tip.
Tip rhinoplasty is a surgery that uses cartilage to gather and lift a wide, round (bulbous nose) or drooping nose tip, refining it to make it distinct. It can be performed to correct only the tip without a bridge implant, or in combination with augmentation rhinoplasty.
A nasal tip support is created using septal and ear cartilage, and the cartilage is gathered to adjust the height and direction. Thick skin and soft tissues are appropriately trimmed to enhance definition.
It is suitable for cases where the tip of the nose is blunt, wide, drooping, or upturned, making the nostrils visible.
If the skin is thick, there may be limitations to the definition, and forcing it up can strain the skin at the tip of the nose.
Yes, there are many cases where only the tip of the nose is corrected. However, it is more natural to consider the balance with the bridge of the nose as well.
Thick skin can limit definition, so soft tissue trimming and setting realistic goals are 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 5 to 7 days to return to daily activities, and the recovery period for swelling is 2 to 4 weeks. 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.
