Carefully Checking a Rhinoplasty Clinic

Hello. This time, I prepared information related to NPLUS rhinoplasty.

NPLUS is a rhinoplasty clinic that has spent more than 20 years focusing only on your healthy and beautiful nose, allowing for a more specialized surgical process.

Many people consider cosmetic surgery for various reasons, but because indiscriminate procedures can cause side effects, you need to be even more careful. Since priorities can be set even among cosmetic procedures, the nose, among many areas of plastic surgery, is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional feature. When its shape is judged to be inconsistent with one’s personal standards, the balance of the entire face can appear disrupted, so more people are looking for information about rhinoplasty clinics.

Therefore, people looking into rhinoplasty clinics often have nose types such as a nose that is too low, a bumpy dorsal hump, an upturned nose, a crooked nose, a drooping nose, or a straightness problem like a cleft nose, and they search for various information to improve these issues.

However, when looking into rhinoplasty clinics, people may focus mostly on the nose’s external appearance as described above. While the nose also plays an important external role, it is a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell, so surgery should be performed with the internal functional aspects of the nose in mind as well. This can help prevent revision surgery caused by functional problems after the operation.

When improving the internal function of the nose through nose surgery, the most typical 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. In the case of allergic rhinitis, symptoms appear due to specific substances or environments, so improving immunity and medication should be prioritized. In the case of structural rhinitis, changes in the internal structure of the nose obstruct the airflow entering through the nose, causing nasal congestion. Therefore, by carefully identifying the causes of structural rhinitis, such as deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal valve stenosis, and combined symptoms, and by clearly correcting the internal functional aspects of the nose, recovery can be expected.

Rhinoplasty can improve the external appearance of the nose, but when a procedure also corrects the internal function of the nose, it is called functional rhinoplasty. In the case of functional rhinoplasty, even if the symptoms are the same, the same surgery is not always performed. Therefore, it is important to visit the clinic and receive an accurate diagnosis of your current condition through equipment, which can help with your decision.

At NPLUS, a rhinoplasty clinic, to provide highly specialized consultations, they perform multi-angle photography, 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests before surgery. After accurately identifying the current internal and external condition of the nose, they establish and carry out a surgical plan based on the collected data.

As for the method of rhinoplasty, the bridge of the nose can generally be corrected with an implant, and the tip of the nose with autologous cartilage to correct the overall line.

Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. Through preoperative testing, the appropriate material can be selected for each individual and used in the procedure.

Rather than using a commercially available silicone product for the nasal bridge, it is carefully shaped by hand after considering various aspects such as the person’s overall image, and the width, length, breadth, and height of the bridge. This allows you to receive high-level medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

If there is a problem with the internal function of the nose, functional improvement such as correction of a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, or nasal valve stenosis can be performed first, followed by cosmetic rhinoplasty.

When looking for a rhinoplasty clinic, rather than focusing only on the external aspects, it is also helpful to carefully check whether the medical staff have 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 aftercare can be reliably guaranteed.

At NPLUS, the clinic’s chief surgeon, Yoon Hyun-cheol, handles everything one-on-one, personally managing the entire process from rhinoplasty consultation to surgical planning, surgery, treatment, and follow-up care, allowing you to receive high-level medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

For aftercare, they issue an NPLUS membership card and operate a service and repair system that guarantees support for one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for all possible post-operative situations such as pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with the result. This means you can also receive clear aftercare benefits after surgery.

That concludes my explanation of the rhinoplasty review from NPLUS, a rhinoplasty clinic. I hope this post is very helpful for those who are not satisfied with the shape of their nose in everyday life or who are looking into rhinoplasty clinics because of internal nasal rhinitis. Thank you.
