Treatment Overview
Non-Surgical Tip Elevation in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift and refine the nasal tip without surgery. Using dermal fillers, Botox, or thread lifting techniques, Korean aesthetic specialists can achieve subtle, natural-looking tip elevation, enhancing facial balance and profile. This procedure is scarless, reversible, and provides immediate results, making it an ideal option for patients seeking temporary or trial enhancement before considering surgery.
