Hello, this is BT Plastic Surgery🍯

Rhinoplasty preferences and methods differ slightly from country to country,

but recently, the number of Japanese patients visiting Korea has also been increasing.

In particular, nose revision surgery using autologous costal cartilage, short nose correction, columella correction, and crooked nose correction

are recognized in Korea for their stable and precise techniques.

So today, we would like to summarize the similarities and differences between Korean and Japanese rhinoplasty trends.

Nose Revision Surgery Using Autologous Costal Cartilage POINT

Short Nose Correction

When the skin and mucosa are under tension, sufficient lengthening is possible with autologous costal cartilage

Columella Correction

When the septum alone is insufficient, costal cartilage is reinforced to create a stable structure

Crooked Nose Correction

The strength of costal cartilage can be used to correct left-right asymmetry

Stability

It causes fewer foreign-body reactions and is the most trusted material in revision surgery

Japan vs. Korea Rhinoplasty Trends

Similarities

Preference for natural lines

Emphasis on facial harmony (rather than simply making the nose higher, the overall balance is emphasized)

Importance placed on the stability of the nasal tip and columella

Differences

Korea

Preference for a more distinct and refined line

→ Higher frequency of autologous costal cartilage use ↑, emphasis on structural stability

Japan

Emphasis on naturalness that is not too high and suits the face

→ Higher frequency of ear cartilage and silicone use ↑

Revision surgery

In Korea, the use of “autologous costal cartilage” has become standardized

→ In Japan, the frequency of use is still relatively low

Recently, even in Japan, interest has been growing in stable surgery using autologous costal cartilage,

rather than simple implants.

That is why there are many Japanese international students and office workers seeking plastic surgery in Korea.

In particular, short nose correction, columella correction, and crooked nose correction can be said to be areas where Korea has a strong advantage.

The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours,

and you can go home immediately without being hospitalized. Gangnam nose surgery clinic Before surgery, low-dose 3D CT scanning is used to carefully assess and diagnose the patient’s nasal condition.
