Learn in Detail About Nose Surgery in Gangnam

For those looking into nose surgery in Gangnam, many are trying to make such changes to improve the appearance of their nose externally. Because our nose is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional feature, it plays a role in balancing the overall harmony of the facial features. It is therefore important not only as an aesthetic feature but also as a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell throughout the body. If you are searching for information about nose surgery, it is important to consider these functional aspects as well.

So, for those looking into nose surgery in Gangnam, the shape of the nose may be too low, have a hump, be upturned, be crooked, droop, or have a bulbous shape, and you may also look into nose surgery when there are problems with the internal function of the nose.

When talking about improving the functional aspects of the nose through surgery, the most typical symptom is nasal congestion. Nasal congestion is generally caused by rhinitis, and rhinitis is a common condition affecting more than 70% of adults in Korea. It can be divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, because it is triggered by specific substances or environments, a complete cure is considered difficult, and improvement can be achieved through strengthening the immune system or medication. On the other hand, structural rhinitis is caused by deformities in the internal structure of the nose, so a cure may be expected through surgery. Therefore, when looking into nose surgery in Gangnam, it is a good idea to check not only the external criteria but also whether the internal functional problems can be identified.

The structural rhinitis mentioned above includes deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. Because each condition obstructs the flow of air into the nose and causes nasal congestion, it is best to accurately identify the cause of the congestion before proceeding.

A procedure that corrects both the external and internal parts of the nose at the same time is called functional rhinoplasty. In the case of functional rhinoplasty, it must proceed after the cause has been accurately identified in order to prevent the function from worsening or problems from occurring after surgery.

Therefore, at N+Plus, to perform rhinoplasty suitable for each patient, we accurately assess the individual's current condition through preoperative 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, and multi-angle photography. Based on the extracted data, we establish and carry out the surgical plan.

At N+Plus, Gangnam nose surgery is performed in the following order: after confirming whether function is involved, if there is a functional problem, functional improvement is done first, followed by cosmetic rhinoplasty.

In cosmetic rhinoplasty after functional improvement, silicone is used for the bridge of the nose and autologous cartilage is used for the nasal tip. In the case of autologous cartilage used for the nasal bridge, the appropriate material for each person can be selected through preoperative screening. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

The silicone used for the bridge of the nose is not the existing commercial silicone used as-is. Instead, it is carefully shaped by hand after considering various aspects such as the patient's overall image and the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, which allows for a more satisfactory rhinoplasty.

As such, those looking into nose surgery in Gangnam should be even more careful when researching rhinoplasty. Because nose surgery is a procedure that especially requires considering both the inside and outside of the nose, it is one of the more difficult procedures in plastic surgery. In addition, it is helpful to carefully check whether the medical team has a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have abundant relevant experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare is clearly guaranteed.

At N+Plus, Chief Director Yoon Hyun-cheol provides one-on-one dedicated care and personally handles every step of the rhinoplasty process, from consultation to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up visits. This allows patients to receive a high level of medical service before and after surgery.

Aftercare is also supported by an A/S system that guarantees service for one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for all possible post-operative situations, including pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with appearance. This means you can be assured of thorough aftercare following surgery.
