Aesthetic plastic surgery? Functional surgery? Which one should I choose?

Hello, this is Cocoline Clinic. You may always find yourself wondering whether to choose function or aesthetics.

If you choose plastic surgery, you may worry about function, and if you choose function only, it is natural to feel a little disappointed.

That is why Cocoline tells you that you can choose both.

In fact, due to the structure of the nose, function and aesthetics cannot be considered separately. You must have both.

However, one thing to be careful about here is that aesthetics should not become excessively the main focus.

Regardless of the type of surgery, all surgeries should be performed as safely and attractively as possible in a single procedure. That said, if you become too greedy and raise the nose too much, problems may occur with a 98% probability.

If you pursue excessive aesthetic changes, it can lead to a crooked nose after surgery, and at that point, the functional aspects can also be affected. That is why the nose should be treated with both aesthetics and function in mind, within a safe range.

Functional surgery is actually classified as rhinitis surgery and is also referred to that way.

Many people think of rhinitis as the kind that causes a runny nose and sneezing.

There are many cases of allergic rhinitis, but surgeries for rhinitis caused by physical and environmental factors are more common.

This is a deviated septum.

It may be a difficult and unfamiliar term. In short, a deviated septum is one type of rhinitis in which the cartilage at the center of the nose is not straight but bent into a C shape, causing problems.

Did you know that you may be able to receive insurance reimbursement when you have nose surgery?

To be precise, for those who are enrolled in actual expense insurance, after receiving a diagnosis of rhinitis, you can receive a refund of the surgery cost through document issuance (limited to functional and rhinitis surgery). Many departments these days provide guidance on rhinitis surgery reimbursement, but to proceed safely with reimbursement, it is best to receive examination, diagnosis, and surgery from a place with an otolaryngology specialist.

Cocoline is also a place where Director Kim Seon-gu (20 years of experience as an otolaryngology specialist) personally handles consultation, examination, and treatment, so it is a place you can visit with confidence at any time.

Cocoline is not flashy. However, we are doing our best to ensure safer, more natural nose health that remains unchanged even after 10 years.

Below, I will leave the addresses of columns where you can learn more about Cocoline. Please read these columns, and if you have any further questions, feel free to contact Cocoline at any time.

Thank you.
