Treatment Overview
Closed Rhinoplasty for Wide Nose in Korea is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to refine and narrow the nasal bridge, tip, and overall width of the nose without external incisions. This approach is ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking changes while minimizing scarring. Korean surgeons are highly skilled in closed techniques, providing precise structural modifications for wide noses while maintaining masculine facial balance.

Surgical Techniques Used
Korean surgeons utilize advanced closed rhinoplasty techniques for wide noses:
- Internal Incisions: All surgical access is through the nostrils to avoid external scarring.
- Osteotomy Techniques: Precise controlled nasal bone cuts narrow the bridge.
- Tip Refinement and Suturing: Internal tip modifications improve definition and projection.
- Cartilage Manipulation: Autologous cartilage may be used for additional tip support if needed.
- Korean Precision Approach: Focuses on symmetry, natural proportions, and long-lasting results.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Downtime: 5–7 days for initial recovery; swelling may last 2–4 weeks.
- Splint or Dressing Removal: Typically 7 days post-surgery.
- Aftercare: Avoid trauma, strenuous activity, and smoking.
- Structured post-operative care in Korea includes:
- Swelling and bruising management
- Gentle massage for maintaining bridge and tip contour
- Follow-ups to monitor nasal symmetry and healing
- Scar management is generally minimal due to internal incisions
Results & Longevity
- Permanent improvement in nasal width and bridge definition.
- Natural-looking masculine nose that complements facial features.
- Full results are visible after swelling subsides (2–3 months).
- Long-lasting outcomes with minimal risk of structural compromise.
