What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty in Korea is world-renowned for its structural precision and aesthetic harmony. It isn't just about raising the nose bridge; it is about creating the perfect side profile line (E-line). Korean surgeons specialize in "Tip Plasty" (using autologous cartilage for the tip), "Bridge Augmentation" (using silicone or Gore-tex), and "Alar Reduction" (slimming the nostrils). The goal is often the "Jikban" line (a straight-meets-curved line) which is considered the ideal feminine nose shape in Korea.

3 Main Benefits

Procedure Process

  • BEFORE: A 3D CT Scan analyzes the nasal bone and cartilage structure. The surgeon designs the "Line" (Straight, Curved, or Jikban) based on the patient's forehead and chin.
  • DURING: Performed under sedation or general anesthesia. The surgeon harvests cartilage (ear/septum), inserts the bridge implant, and reconstructs the tip.
  • AFTER: A splint is worn for 7 days to protect the new shape.

The "Jikban" Line: This is a signature Korean style. It is a portmanteau of "Straight" (Jikseon) and "Curved" (Beoseon). The bridge is straight, but the tip has a very slight, natural upward curve, offering a look that is both chic and feminine.

  • Treatment Time: 2-3 Hours
  • Pain Level: 3/5 (Discomfort from swelling/stuffiness rather than sharp pain)
  • Downtime: 1-2 Weeks (Splint removal at Day 7)
