Introduction

Rhinoplasty—commonly known as a nose job—is one of the most popular plastic surgeries in South Korea. Known for its precision, natural-looking results, and advanced techniques, Korea has become a global destination for rhinoplasty among both men and women seeking aesthetic or functional improvements.

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or enhances the nose’s appearance and/or improves breathing. It can be purely cosmetic, functional, or both. Korean surgeons are known for their detailed approach, focusing on harmony with facial features and patient goals.

Types of Rhinoplasty Offered in Korea

1. Bridge Augmentation – Enhances a low nasal bridge using silicone implants or cartilage
2. Tip Plasty – Refines the nasal tip for a sharper or more defined look
3. Osteotomy – Narrows the nasal bridge or corrects asymmetry
4. Septoplasty – Corrects a deviated septum to improve breathing
5. Revision Rhinoplasty – Performed to correct or improve results from previous surgeries
6. Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty – Temporary nose shaping using fillers (no downtime)
