Rhinoplasty: Solving Functional Issues Alongside Aesthetic Goals!

Hello.

This is VIBE Plastic Surgery.

As the perception of plastic surgery improves and the importance of appearance is highlighted, reviews for various procedures are becoming more abundant.

In particular, rhinoplasty—which focuses on the center of the face—can be easily researched through various apps, forums, and social media.

Since there are so many different reviews and surgical methods available, it is crucial to accurately identify the specific issues with your own nose first. To achieve satisfying results, you must receive a customized solution through a consultation with a professional medical team before proceeding with surgery.

Typically, rhinoplasty involves inserting a silicone implant into the bridge and using autologous cartilage for the tip of the nose.

What is autologous cartilage?

Representative examples include the septal cartilage inside the nose and ear cartilage; it can also be harvested from the rib cartilage (donated or autologous).

Furthermore, because the autologous cartilage used for the nasal tip varies in elasticity, strength, and the amount that can be harvested, the most suitable cartilage must be selected based on the individual’s nasal condition and needs.

Is a high nose always a beautiful nose?

Rhinoplasty is not just about raising the bridge; it must consider the balance of the entire face. Since there are many factors to consider, from the facial bone structure to skin thickness, a tailored approach is necessary.

So, what are the different types of noses?

• Short nose
• Bulbous nose
• Upturned nose
• Hooked (Hump) nose
• Flat (Low) nose

The most important thing is to understand what type of nose you have and what kind of nose shape will suit you best.

VIBE Plastic Surgery aims to be your ‘first and last’ choice by recommending a nasal line that suits your face and creating a sharp nasal tip that does not droop over time.

Additionally, based on precise analysis, we can improve not only the aesthetic appearance but also functional issues simultaneously.

Why are revision surgeries so common these days?

The nose is fundamentally a respiratory organ that performs a vital task. Because surgery must capture both functionality and aesthetics, it is considered a high-difficulty procedure.

However, many people rush into rhinoplasty, leading to an increase in side effects such as:

• Dissatisfaction with the line
• Nasal deformity
• Capsular contracture
• Insufficient correction

Therefore, you should proceed only after receiving a customized solution through a consultation with a specialist from the start. You must also check if thorough post-operative care is provided and if safety systems are in place.

In the case of rhinoplasty, every individual has different facial features and face shapes. Therefore, an individually customized surgery must be planned and executed, considering all aspects including the height, angle, and shape of the nose.

Furthermore, since functional issues must be improved at the same time, a 3D CT scan should be used to precisely diagnose the shape of the internal nasal bones, the size of the septum, and the degree of deviation.

VIBE Plastic Surgery operates a 1:1 dedicated system with a board-certified plastic surgeon, ensuring there are no ‘ghost doctors’ or substitute surgeries.

You can feel at ease as CCTV is installed in all areas, including consultation rooms and operating rooms. Additionally, all recovery areas are private single rooms for your comfort.

While aesthetic improvement through rhinoplasty is important, we hope you make a careful decision after sufficient consultation with a plastic surgery specialist who possesses extensive experience and know-how to ensure the nose performs its original functions properly.
