Why a Plastic Surgery Specialist at the Best Place for Rhinoplasty Says ‘This’ Matters

Hello, this is Obje Plastic Surgery.

We are continuing our introduction to Obje’s best procedures and surgeries for 2024. If you checked out the posts about 5th place Rejuran Healer and 4th place thread lifting, now it is time to introduce 3rd place.

As you may have guessed from the title, the surgery shining as Obje’s 2024 year-end best No. 3 is rhinoplasty.

Obje rhinoplasty is also the reason Dr. Lee Kyung-mook of Obje Plastic Surgery is praised as “God Kyung-mook” and “Nose Master.” That is how many people are receiving nose surgery at Obje Plastic Surgery.

Doesn’t that mean Obje rhinoplasty is loved by many people, enough to rank No. 3 among the best?

Because the nose is located at the center of the facial features, even small details can greatly affect one’s impression. That is why rhinoplasty requires careful consideration, and many people hope to find the best place for rhinoplasty.

So, what should you look for in the best place for rhinoplasty?

A plastic surgery specialist says

the most difficult plastic surgery = rhinoplasty

The plastic surgery that even top plastic surgeons describe as one of the most difficult procedures is rhinoplasty. That is because there are not just one or two things to pay attention to during the surgery.

It is not simply about making the bridge higher; the symmetry of both nostrils must also be balanced, and the tip of the nose must be finished beautifully, so from a doctor’s perspective, it is an extremely difficult surgery.

In particular, because everyone’s nose shape and size are different, the surgery itself must be performed with great delicacy, and the operation time tends to be long as well.

Also, since the nose is related to breathing, the progress after surgery must be checked several times to make sure there are no discomforts, so it may be a difficult surgery from the patient’s perspective as well.

For these reasons, rhinoplasty is said to be the most difficult and challenging area. Rhinoplasty requires a lot of effort from both the doctor and the patient, but it is also a surgery that feels very rewarding when the result turns out well.

Because the points surgeons focus on differ from one medical team to another, results can vary depending on who performs the surgery. At Obje Plastic Surgery, the best place for rhinoplasty, we consider the balance between the bridge and the tip of the nose to be the most important factor in rhinoplasty.

The plastic surgeon in charge of rhinoplasty says

2025 rhinoplasty trend

For a while, creating a high nose was recognized as the trend in rhinoplasty, but recently there has been more emphasis on “natural-looking rhinoplasty.” Not only in Korea but also in Asian countries such as Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, many people seek rhinoplasty because smaller, lower noses are a concern. As a result, the idea that a higher bridge is better became the rhinoplasty trend over the past 10 years.

However, recently, people who had rhinoplasty in the past are undergoing revision surgery to lower the bridge again, showing a preference for a slightly lower bridge. And most importantly, there is a tendency to prefer creating a nose shape that blends with a naturally elevated bridge by making the tip more refined.

In short, rather than simply making the bridge very high, more and more people now want the bridge to look as natural as possible, while the tip connected to the bridge is refined and elevated.

Then, if only the tip needs to be raised a little,

tip rhinoplasty should be simple, right?

Many patients think that raising the tip is relatively simpler than raising the bridge. Perhaps that is because the tip occupies a smaller area of the nose than the bridge does.

But in fact, that is not the case. This is because the tip is the part that receives the most careful attention during rhinoplasty.

To understand why the tip is important, you need to understand the structure of the nose. If you touch the nose, the bridge feels the firmest. That is because the nasal bone defines the shape of the bridge. On the other hand, when you touch the tip, it feels soft. The tip is made of soft cartilage.

Because of this, if the strength of the tip and the bridge is not well balanced during nasal surgery, the tip may droop over time after rhinoplasty.

For example, if you place a 1 kg iron ball on two desks—one made of iron and one made of sponge—what happens? Naturally, the iron desk will support the weight of the iron ball, but the sponge desk will sink under it. If you think of the iron desk as the bridge and the sponge desk as the tip, it becomes easier to understand.

Because the tip is softer than the bridge, the strength is different. So as mentioned earlier, if the strength of the tip and bridge is not properly balanced during surgery, the tip can sag downward.

That is why, so that the tip can sufficiently support the bridge, the strength of the bridge and the support of the tip must be made similar for the tip not to droop over time.

At Obje Plastic Surgery, we thoroughly balance the strength of the bridge and tip through our distinctive tip-strengthening technique. Thanks to this technique, we can confidently say that among Obje rhinoplasty cases, there have been no cases where the tip drooped and revision surgery had to be considered.

When getting rhinoplasty at the best place for rhinoplasty,

what is considered most important?

Earlier, we said that the tip is really important in rhinoplasty at Obje Plastic Surgery. Rhinoplasty is not about making the bridge excessively high; it is important to keep the bridge natural while raising the tip to a refined height that matches the bridge.

That is why a beautiful nose shape is determined by properly balancing the height ratio between the bridge and the tip. From a plastic surgeon’s perspective, raising the bridge is not difficult. However, matching the ratio between the tip and bridge to determine the ideal bridge height is not easy.

If the bridge-tip ratio is not properly balanced in this process, it can result in the so-called “Pinocchio nose,” or in unappealing shapes such as a pinched nose where the tip becomes unnatural as it follows the height of the bridge, or an upturned nose with visible nostrils.

In such cases, not only is the ratio between the bridge and tip important, but the material used to shape the tip also becomes extremely important. The reason Obje rhinoplasty is known for satisfying results and positive reviews is that we carefully select the tip material as well.

At Obje Plastic Surgery, we carefully diagnose each patient’s nose shape and thoroughly customize everything: the ideal bridge height, the tip support needed to maintain the nose shape well, and even the tip material that will create a beautiful nasal line.

It is important for the nose to maintain a beautiful shape for a long time without collapsing easily, but above all, Obje also values creating a beautiful nose shape and line from the very beginning.

Do you have to use silicone in the bridge?

In rhinoplasty, the tip usually uses septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or rib cartilage (classified according to the harvesting method such as functional or autologous), while silicone is mainly used for the bridge. Many people worry about side effects from silicone, but silicone is a highly stable rhinoplasty implant that has been used in various fields for more than 100 years.

Although various implants that can replace silicone have been introduced, most have not remained mainstream, and silicone is still the primary implant, which shows that its safety has been proven to some extent.

Then, shouldn’t the bridge be built with an autologous implant instead of an artificial implant?

Some people occasionally say they want rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage instead of silicone in the bridge, but at Obje Plastic Surgery, we do not recommend it. (Please note that opinions may differ from doctor to doctor.)

This is because rib cartilage is firmer than other cartilage. Therefore, if autologous rib cartilage is used from the bridge all the way to the tip, the nose can end up too rigid, making it somewhat less natural.

We mentioned earlier that a natural nose shape that suits one’s face is the trend, right? Rhinoplasty using only autologous rib cartilage is somewhat far from the current rhinoplasty trend, so we do not recommend it.

There is no single correct answer for either tip materials or bridge materials. The most important thing is finding the material that is best suited to you. That is why, first and foremost, consultation that helps you fully understand rhinoplasty and the medical team’s precise diagnosis are truly important.

Among those who visit Obje Plastic Surgery for rhinoplasty consultations, some sometimes bring a photo of a drama lead’s nose from that year’s popular show and say, “Please do it like this!”

But because the nose is the central feature of the face and each person has a unique overall impression, we do not simply perform surgery to copy a celebrity’s nose shape.

Obje Plastic Surgery carefully considers each individual’s nose shape and facial impression to design the most suitable nasal line and perform delicate rhinoplasty.

The nose, which sits at the center of the face and plays an important role in shaping one’s impression! We hope you will receive detailed consultation and make your decision after 충분한 discussion at the best place for rhinoplasty.
