Treatment Overview
The Transdomal Suture Technique for Wide Nose in Korea is a minimally invasive rhinoplasty procedure focused on refining and narrowing the nasal tip by reshaping the lower lateral cartilages. This technique is ideal for male patients with a wide or bulbous tip, aiming to improve tip definition, projection, and symmetry. Korean surgeons are renowned for their precision in performing transdomal sutures, achieving natural and masculine results with minimal trauma.
Purpose & Benefits
- Narrows a wide or bulbous nasal tip.
- Enhances tip projection and definition.
- Corrects asymmetry or drooping of the nasal tip.
- Provides long-lasting results while preserving natural appearance.
- Minimizes scarring as the procedure is performed internally.
Ideal Candidates
- Men with a broad, flat, or bulbous nasal tip.
- Individuals seeking a sharper or more refined tip.
- Patients requiring functional support along with aesthetic enhancement.
- Those in good health with realistic expectations for natural results.
- Patients who may have undergone previous rhinoplasty but desire improved tip definition.
Possible Risks & Complications
Although safe when performed by skilled Korean surgeons, potential risks include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Minor asymmetry of the nasal tip
- Infection (rare with proper hygiene)
- Over- or under-correction of tip width
- Rare need for revision surgery for complex cases
Surgical Techniques Used
- Transdomal Suturing: Internal sutures reshape the domes of the lower lateral cartilages to narrow the tip.
- Interdomal Sutures: Further refine tip projection and symmetry.
- Tip Defatting (Optional): Removes excess soft tissue to enhance tip narrowing.
- Columellar Strut or Extended Tip Grafts (Optional): Adds structural support for long-term stability.
- Korean Precision Technique: Focuses on symmetry, masculine aesthetics, and natural results.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Downtime: 5–7 days for initial recovery; swelling may last 2–4 weeks.
- Stitch Removal: Typically internal; external stitches minimal if used.
- Aftercare: Avoid trauma, heavy exercise, and smoking.
- Structured post-operative care in Korea typically includes:
- Swelling reduction therapy
- Gentle massage to maintain tip contour
- Scar management if needed
- Follow-up appointments to monitor symmetry and healing
Results & Longevity
- Permanent refinement of nasal tip shape and width.
- Natural-looking masculine tip that complements overall facial features.
- Final results visible within 1–2 months as swelling subsides.
- Long-lasting outcomes when performed by experienced Korean surgeons.
