Plastic Surgery
Rhinoplasty
Refined nose surgery using custom implants, autologous cartilage and tip work for natural results.
About this procedure
Korean rhinoplasty is known for natural, conservative results using a combination of silicone or Gore-Tex bridge implants and the patient’s own septal/ear/rib cartilage for the tip. Augmentation, hump removal, tip refinement and alar reduction can be combined.
