Rhinoplasty Review from Apgujeong Plastic Surgery

Hello. We are A+ Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong, where we have spent the past 16 years focused only on your healthy and beautiful nose.

For this post, we have prepared information about rhinoplasty reviews.

Recently, many people have become highly interested in rhinoplasty reviews in order to improve their image. The nose is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional feature, so even a small change in the shape of the nose can have a significant effect on how a person looks.

Therefore, if your nose is too low, crooked, has a dorsal hump, is upturned, drooping, or bulbous, you can look into rhinoplasty in more detail as a way to improve it.

For those looking into rhinoplasty reviews like this, most are prioritizing appearance. However, the nose also plays an important functional role in breathing and smelling. For a more satisfying rhinoplasty review, surgery should be performed while considering the internal functions of the nose as well.

When improving the functional aspects of the nose through surgery, the most representative symptom is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition found in more than 70% of Korean adults, and it is divided into allergic rhinitis, which accounts for 20%, and structural rhinitis, which accounts for 80%. Allergic rhinitis is triggered by specific substances or weather conditions, and because it is difficult to cure completely, temporary improvement can be achieved through immune enhancement and medication. In the case of structural rhinitis caused by internal structural abnormalities, airflow into the nose is obstructed, causing nasal congestion. It can be divided into a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis, and surgery may offer a potential cure.

A surgery that improves both the functional aspects of the nose and the cosmetic aspects that were previously unsatisfactory is called functional rhinoplasty. In the case of functional rhinoplasty, it is important to accurately assess the inside and outside of the nose through various preoperative tests and proceed with surgery tailored to each individual. So, in addition to looking at photos in rhinoplasty reviews, be sure to also check the details, receive a consultation about your nose’s condition, and then decide on surgery. This can help lead to a more satisfying rhinoplasty outcome.

At A+ Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong, to ensure safe and satisfying rhinoplasty results, we perform 3D-CT imaging, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests before surgery to accurately understand the current condition of the nose. Based on the collected data, a plan is established and customized surgery is performed for each individual.

Also, if you look at rhinoplasty reviews, you will see that in cosmetic rhinoplasty, the bridge is typically improved with an implant and the tip with autologous cartilage to create a straighter, fuller line. If there is a functional abnormality, functional nasal surgery is performed first to correct it, followed by cosmetic rhinoplasty.

As for the materials used in rhinoplasty, if you check rhinoplasty reviews, you can see that the materials used differ from person to person. This is because the materials used vary depending on the condition of the individual’s nasal bones, cartilage, and skin, and this can be confirmed through preoperative examinations. Autologous cartilage used for the tip includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

For implants used in the bridge, we do not use pre-made commercial implants as they are. Instead, we carefully shape them by hand while considering the individual’s overall facial image, as well as the width, length, size, and height of the bridge. This can lead to a more satisfying rhinoplasty outcome.

When performing rhinoplasty, if preoperative examinations reveal a problem with the internal function of the nose, the surgery is carried out by first correcting the deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. A deviated septum is straightened, inferior turbinate hypertrophy is managed with a laser, and nasal valve stenosis is treated by choosing one of four methods to widen the nasal valve area.

Therefore, when looking at rhinoplasty reviews, even if the shape of the nose is similar to yours, the same surgical method and materials are not necessarily used. The approach differs depending on whether there are internal functional problems, the condition of the skin, the condition of the nasal bones, and the condition of the cartilage. Because accurate diagnosis based on the current condition is important, those looking into rhinoplasty reviews should carefully check whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have sufficient experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether post-care can be reliably guaranteed. Doing so can help lead to a more satisfying rhinoplasty outcome.
