Treatment Overview
Reduction Rhinoplasty for Wide Nose in Korea is a surgical procedure aimed at narrowing a broad nasal bridge, reducing tip width, and correcting flared nostrils to create a more proportionate and masculine nose. This procedure is ideal for men seeking subtle yet effective nasal refinement while maintaining natural facial harmony. Korean surgeons are highly experienced in both open and closed reduction techniques, achieving precise, balanced, and long-lasting results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Narrows a wide nasal bridge and tip.
- Refines flaring nostrils for improved symmetry.
- Enhances facial balance and masculine appearance.
- Corrects asymmetry or post-traumatic deformities.
- Provides durable, natural-looking results.
Ideal Candidates
- Men with broad or flat nasal bridges.
- Individuals with a wide or bulbous tip.
- Patients with flared nostrils seeking improved proportion.
- Those in good health with realistic expectations about masculine aesthetics.
- Patients requiring revision surgery for previous wide nose concerns.
Possible Risks & Complications
Although generally safe when performed by experienced Korean surgeons, potential risks include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Minor asymmetry or irregular tip contour
- Infection (rare with proper surgical hygiene)
- Over- or under-correction of nasal width
- Rare need for revision surgery for complex cases
Surgical Techniques Used
Korean surgeons employ advanced techniques for reduction rhinoplasty:
- Osteotomy: Controlled nasal bone cuts to narrow the bridge.
- Tip Refinement: Transdomal/interdomal sutures and cartilage reshaping for tip narrowing and projection.
- Alar Base Reduction: Reduces flaring nostrils for better symmetry.
- Open or Closed Approach: Open rhinoplasty provides maximum precision; closed rhinoplasty allows minimal scarring.
- Cartilage Grafting: Septal or ear cartilage may be used to support tip or bridge refinement.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Downtime: 7–10 days for initial recovery; swelling may persist 2–4 weeks.
- Splint or Stitch Removal: Usually 5–7 days post-surgery.
- Aftercare: Avoid trauma, strenuous activity, and smoking.
- Structured post-operative care in Korea includes:
- Swelling and bruising management
- Gentle massage for tip and bridge contour
- Scar management with laser therapy if needed
- Regular follow-ups to monitor healing and symmetry
Results & Longevity
- Permanent narrowing and refinement of the nasal bridge, tip, and nostrils.
- Natural-looking masculine nose that complements facial features.
- Full results visible within 2–3 months after swelling subsides.
- Long-lasting outcomes when performed by experienced Korean surgeons.
