Treatment Overview
Tip Projection Adjustment for Wide Nose in Korea is a specialized rhinoplasty procedure aimed at refining the nasal tip’s projection and position to complement a broad nasal base. The procedure improves facial balance and masculine nasal aesthetics by enhancing tip definition, projection, and symmetry. Korean surgeons are highly skilled in combining cartilage reshaping and grafting techniques to achieve precise and long-lasting results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Enhances tip projection and definition.
- Narrows and refines a broad or bulbous tip.
- Improves overall facial harmony and masculine aesthetics.
- Corrects drooping, under-projected, or asymmetrical nasal tips.
- Provides durable, natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
Ideal Candidates
- Men with a wide nasal base and low tip projection.
- Individuals seeking sharper, more refined tip definition.
- Patients requiring structural tip support along with aesthetic improvement.
- Those in good health with realistic expectations for natural results.
- Patients who may have had previous rhinoplasty but desire better tip projection.
Possible Risks & Complications
