Treatment Overview
Closed Natural Rhinoplasty in Korea is a minimally invasive rhinoplasty technique that refines the nose using internal incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. This approach focuses on achieving a natural, masculine, and harmonious nasal appearance while minimizing tissue trauma and recovery time. Korean surgeons are internationally recognized for their expertise in closed techniques, combining precision, subtle cartilage adjustments, and aesthetic finesse.
