If You’re Looking Into Before-and-After Nose Surgery

For those who are learning about cosmetic surgery, it may seem like a way to improve their current appearance. However, excessive cosmetic surgery can lead to side effects, so it is better to be more cautious. That is why even in cosmetic surgery, it is helpful to set priorities.

Among them, the nose is located at the center of our face and is the most three-dimensional feature. If its shape seems even slightly out of line with your personal standards, the balance of the entire face can appear disrupted. For that reason, it is often considered a priority in cosmetic surgery, and more people are increasingly looking into before-and-after nose surgery.

In general, the nose shapes of people looking into before-and-after nose surgery can be categorized as follows: a low bridge or tip that makes the face lack dimension, a crooked nose, a bumpy bridge or aquiline nose, an upturned or lifted nose, and cases accompanied by nasal congestion due to rhinitis. In most cases, the overall shape of the nose is the main focus when looking into before-and-after nose surgery.

However, as explained above, our nose plays an important external role, but it is also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smelling throughout the body. Therefore, you should check the functional aspects of the nose as well before proceeding with nose surgery. Only then can you help prevent repeat surgery caused by postoperative functional issues.

Symptoms that allow the functional aspects inside the nose to be checked along with cosmetic concerns are represented by nasal congestion due to rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition that more than 70% of Korean adults have. It is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, since it appears due to specific substances or environments, it can be considered difficult to cure completely, so medication or strengthening immunity should be prioritized. On the other hand, structural rhinitis caused by problems in the internal structure of the nose can be cured through surgery. Structural rhinitis can be divided into a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal valve stenosis, and combined symptoms, and it is important for surgery to be performed according to these symptoms.

That is why, at Oziko & Plus, before proceeding with nose surgery, we accurately diagnose each individual’s internal and external condition through 3D-CT imaging, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, multi-angle photography, and more. Based on the extracted data, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

Also, if you look at before-and-after nose surgery, you can see that the surgical method and materials differ depending on the individual’s condition. First, the surgical methods can be divided into cases where both the bridge and tip are low, only the bridge is low, or only the tip is low.

When both the bridge and tip are low, the bridge can be corrected with an implant insertion, and the tip can be corrected using autologous cartilage to improve the overall nose line.

When only the bridge is low, an implant can be inserted into the bridge to correct the overall nose line.

The materials used in nose surgery are silicone for the bridge and autologous cartilage for the tip. For the cartilage used at the tip, there are septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. In the case of autologous cartilage, it can be selected from the materials best suited to the individual through preoperative examinations.

For silicone used in the bridge, instead of using an existing mass-produced silicone product, it is carefully hand-shaped to fit the individual’s overall image as well as various aspects of the bridge, such as width, length, breadth, and height. This helps achieve more satisfying before-and-after nose surgery results.

As such, nose surgery is not simply a cosmetic procedure focused only on external appearance; it must also be performed after checking the functional aspects inside the nose. Because more than one surgical method is applied, it is considered one of the more difficult procedures. Therefore, those looking into before-and-after nose surgery should carefully check whether the medical staff have strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have extensive related experience and expertise, whether the necessary equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether postoperative care is clearly guaranteed. Doing so can help you make a better decision.

At Oziko & Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol provides one-on-one dedicated care and personally handles every step of the process, from consultation about nose surgery to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up care. This means you can receive a high level of medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

The postoperative care provided after surgery also includes an after-sales service guarantee for one year after the procedure, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system that prepares for any possible situations such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the results. This allows you to receive clear and reliable aftercare benefits after surgery.
