Make Sure to Review Rhinoplasty Costs Carefully Before Deciding

Hello. This is Oziko Plastic Surgery & Nplus, which thinks only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

In this post, we would like to share information about rhinoplasty costs.

In modern society, the view of plastic surgery has become widespread as a means to improve one’s appearance. Therefore, it is possible to expect a better appearance than your current one through plastic surgery. Among various types of plastic surgery, 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 changing your image. As more people become interested in rhinoplasty, you can find more detailed information about rhinoplasty costs.

Therefore, for those who are highly interested in rhinoplasty costs, nose types can vary widely, such as cases where the bridge or tip is low and lacks definition, a crooked nose, a hump nose with an uneven bridge, an upturned or lifted nose, or a case accompanied by nasal congestion due to rhinitis. Accordingly, many people hope to improve the shape of the nose into a straight and attractive line.

For those looking into rhinoplasty costs, the focus may be placed primarily on appearance and expense, but the nose is not only important for external appearance; it is also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smelling. Surgery that considers both the aesthetic and cost aspects as well as the internal functional aspects can help prevent revision surgery caused by postoperative functional problems.

When the functional aspects of the nose mentioned above are said to be improved through rhinoplasty, the most representative symptom is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a common condition affecting more than 70% of adults in Korea and is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis caused by internal structural abnormalities. In the case of allergic rhinitis, it is a temporary symptom, and symptom improvement can be achieved through medication and immune strengthening first; however, it is difficult to cure completely. In contrast, structural rhinitis caused by internal structural abnormalities includes deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis, which can be cured through surgery. However, because it is difficult to determine with the naked eye whether it is allergic rhinitis or structural rhinitis, it is important to accurately check the current condition through equipment first and then proceed with the appropriate surgery.

At Oziko Plastic Surgery & Nplus, to ensure safe and satisfying rhinoplasty, various allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, 3D-CT imaging, and internal endoscopic imaging are performed before surgery to accurately diagnose the individual’s current condition. Based on the extracted data, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

As for rhinoplasty methods, the bridge is generally corrected using silicone, while the tip is corrected using the patient’s own cartilage. Depending on the individual’s condition, the materials, methods, and rhinoplasty costs may vary. In addition, if there is a functional problem, functional improvement is prioritized, and cosmetic rhinoplasty can be performed after surgery and treatment.

The materials used in rhinoplasty include silicone implants for the bridge and autologous cartilage for the tip. Autologous cartilage used for the tip includes ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage, and in the case of autologous cartilage, the surgery is performed by selecting the most suitable material for the individual through preoperative examination.

In the case of silicone, the implant used for the bridge is not used as-is from a commercially available product. Instead, it is carefully and precisely shaped by hand while taking into account the individual’s overall image and the width, length, breadth, and height of the bridge, which can lead to higher satisfaction after surgery.

Therefore, for those looking into rhinoplasty costs, it may be more helpful to look beyond cost and aesthetics alone and carefully consider whether the medical team has a high level of 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 aftercare is reliably guaranteed.

At Oziko Plastic Surgery & Nplus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles every step of rhinoplasty-related care one-on-one, from consultation to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up visits, so you can receive high-level medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

For aftercare, the clinic provides a one-year warranty system after surgery and a surgical responsibility guarantee system that covers all possible situations, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with the shape, so you can receive firm aftercare as well.
