Carefully checking a nose surgery clinic

These days, regardless of age or gender, improving one’s current image by taking care of oneself can be considered a trend, and interest in plastic surgery is increasing among many people. However, indiscriminate cosmetic surgery can cause side effects, so greater caution is necessary.

For that reason, when choosing plastic surgery, you can focus first on the area that troubles you most. Among the various types of cosmetic procedures, the nose is centrally located on the face and is one of its most three-dimensional features. If the shape of your nose does not match the standard you have in mind, you can look into a nose surgery clinic in detail to improve it.

First, the characteristics of people who look into rhinoplasty can be divided into cases such as having a low bridge or tip and lacking definition, having a bumpy hump, having a crooked nose, having a upturned nose or a nose that is lifted, having a bulbous nose, or having nasal congestion caused by rhinitis.

In this way, those looking into a nose surgery clinic may prioritize aesthetic standards. However, our nose plays an important role in balancing the overall face externally, while also serving a bodily functional role related to breathing and smell. Therefore, for those considering rhinoplasty, it would be helpful not to focus only on external standards, but to accurately examine the individual’s internal and external nose first and then proceed with surgery suited to that assessment.

When improving the functional aspects of the nose through surgery, the most representative symptom is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, nasal congestion appears due to specific substances or environments, so a complete cure through surgery is difficult, and improving immunity or medication should be prioritized.

However, in the case of structural rhinitis, a cure can be expected through surgery. Since structural rhinitis causes nasal congestion due to abnormalities in the internal structure of the nose, natural recovery is difficult. Causes of this structural rhinitis include a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. In the case of internal nasal problems, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment based on nasal congestion alone, so it is important to first identify the condition inside the nose through equipment and then proceed with the appropriate surgery. It is also a popular type of rhinoplasty because aesthetic rhinoplasty and functional rhinoplasty can be performed at the same time.

At An+ Clinic, a nose surgery clinic, to ensure safe and satisfying rhinoplasty, preoperative 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopic exams, various allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, and multi-angle photography are performed to accurately identify the current external and internal condition of each individual’s nose, after which surgery appropriate to that condition is carried out.

As for nose surgery methods, typically silicone, a prosthetic implant, is inserted into the bridge of the nose, and autologous cartilage is inserted into the tip to correct the overall nasal line.

If there is internal nasal rhinitis, correction of the deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis may be performed first, followed by aesthetic rhinoplasty.

The materials used in rhinoplasty include autologous cartilage such as septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and costal cartilage, as well as silicone used for the nasal bridge. In the case of autologous cartilage, the material is selected based on preoperative testing to suit the individual.

For the nasal bridge, a silicone implant is used. Rather than using pre-made commercial silicone as is, it is carefully shaped by hand after considering various aspects such as the individual’s overall image, and the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, resulting in a more satisfying rhinoplasty.

As such, those looking into a nose surgery clinic should know that even if another person’s nose looks similar to theirs in a review photo, the same surgical method and materials are not applied. The surgical method and materials vary depending on the condition of the nasal bone, cartilage, skin, and whether there are internal functional issues. Therefore, it is necessary to get an accurate understanding through a consultation with a specialist.

At An+ Clinic, the head doctor, Yun Hyun-cheol, personally handles the entire process one-on-one, from consultations related to nose surgery to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up visits, allowing patients to receive high-level medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

For post-surgery care, the clinic operates a repair service system guaranteed for one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for any situations that may arise after surgery, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape. This ensures that aftercare benefits are also firmly provided.

That concludes the explanation of rhinoplasty at An+ Clinic, a nose surgery clinic. I hope this article is very helpful for those who are looking into rhinoplasty to improve their image because of the shape of their nose.
