Looking Into Apgujeong Nose Surgery

In modern times, standards of appearance are changing, and trends are becoming more influential. As a result, more people are considering cosmetic surgery in order to follow those trends. However, indiscriminate cosmetic surgery can cause side effects, so rather than proceeding impulsively just because you are unhappy with your appearance, it is important to approach it more carefully since it is a surgical procedure.

There are various types of cosmetic surgery, but the nose in particular is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional feature. If even the shape of the nose is slightly unbalanced, the overall facial balance can appear disrupted, so it is often one of the first procedures people consider. Those who are concerned about the shape of their nose can learn more about Apgujeong nose surgery in greater detail.

Accordingly, the types of nose shapes people look into when searching for Apgujeong nose surgery can include a nose that is too low, a bumpy dorsal hump, an upturned nose, a crooked nose, a snub nose or an upturned nose, or cases accompanied by nasal congestion due to rhinitis. In most cases, external appearance is the main factor, so the number of people looking into Apgujeong nose surgery for aesthetic reasons is relatively high.

However, the nose is not only important for appearance, but also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell. So rather than focusing only on appearance, those looking into Apgujeong nose surgery should also carefully check whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have sufficient experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of the nose, and whether aftercare is reliably guaranteed. These factors can help with making a choice.

When performing nose surgery, if the goal is to improve the functional aspect, the most representative symptom is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition that more than 70% of Korean adults have, and it is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, symptoms appear due to specific substances or environments, so a complete cure is difficult. Temporary improvement can be seen through ongoing immune-strengthening efforts or medication. In the case of structural rhinitis, a cure is possible through surgery. Structural rhinitis is caused by problems in the internal structure of the nose, which obstruct the flow of air entering through the nose and lead to nasal congestion. The causes of structural rhinitis can be divided into a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal valve stenosis, and combined conditions. Because the surgical method differs depending on the cause, it is important to receive an accurate diagnosis.

A surgery that improves both the functional and cosmetic aspects of the nose is called functional rhinoplasty. Even if the approach is primarily cosmetic, functional testing should also be performed before surgery. This can help prevent repeat surgery caused by functional issues after the operation, so it is helpful to choose a place where the current internal and external condition of the nose can be accurately checked through equipment.

At N Plus, which performs Apgujeong nose surgery, to ensure safe and satisfying rhinoplasty, preoperative multi-angle photography, 3D CT scans, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests are carried out. Based on the data extracted after accurately assessing each individual's external and internal nasal condition, a surgical plan is established and the procedure is performed.

First, in the case of cosmetic rhinoplasty, the bridge can be corrected with silicone and the tip with autologous cartilage to improve the overall line.

As for materials, autologous cartilage is used. This autologous cartilage can be selected after preoperative examination as a material suitable for the individual. Types of autologous cartilage include septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

Silicone is used for the bridge of the nose, but instead of using a pre-made commercial silicone implant, it is carefully shaped by hand after considering various factors such as the individual's overall image, and the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge. This can lead to higher satisfaction after nose surgery.

If there are functional problems, the septal deviation, nasal valve stenosis, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy can be improved first, depending on the symptoms, before proceeding with cosmetic rhinoplasty.

At N Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol, who has more than 20 years of experience, personally handles one-on-one care, directly managing every step related to nose surgery, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure, treatment, and follow-up care, providing high-level medical service before and after surgery.

By issuing an NPLUS MEMBERSHIP card, aftercare is also provided. There is an A/S system that guarantees service for one year after surgery, and a surgical responsibility guarantee system is in place to prepare for any situation that may arise after surgery, such as pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape. This allows you to receive clear aftercare benefits after the operation.
