Can men get rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nasal bridge, tip and length in proportion to the whole face. The clinic website states that it adjusts the nasolabial angle (the angle between the nose and upper lip) and the columella (the column between the nostrils) length, uses custom cutting of the tip cartilage with 2-layer (double) fixation, and uses either a 3D-customised implant or autologous cartilage. The detailed rhinoplasty page (/Detailed_Rhinoplasty) has the same content.

How it is done
According to the clinic website, a 3D-CT scan taken prior to surgery is used to analyse the internal structure of the nose, the cartilage, the skin layers and any functional problems, and the findings are reflected in the surgical plan. The nasolabial angle is designed within 95β110 degrees for women and 90β95 degrees for men. A long columella is partly resected and then tied and fixed; a short columella is lengthened and then fixed. The tip cartilage is custom-cut and fixed twice in two layers, and the bridge is raised with a 3D-customised implant or autologous tissue. Autologous tissue is chosen according to the condition: septal cartilage (harvested inside the nose without another incision, used to raise the tip or lengthen the nose), rib cartilage (used where support and durability are needed), autologous dermis (harvested from the buttock to fill in where the skin over the bridge is thin or soft tissue is lacking) and ear cartilage (round and elastic, used to build tip structure, to cover a silicone implant, or to supplement septal cartilage), according to the clinic. An anesthesiologist monitors the patient during surgery; consultation, design and the operation are handled by the assigned surgeon, and aftercare consists of follow-up checks by that surgeon and 1:1 care by a dedicated coordinator, according to the clinic.

- The clinic states that, depending on individual recovery, common side effects such as bleeding, inflammation and infection can occur after surgery.
- Swelling and bruising can occur, and asymmetry or a shape different from what was expected may require further correction.
- Results vary with individual factors such as skin thickness and cartilage condition.
- When an implant is used, implant show-through, movement or tilting, and contracture (surrounding tissue tightening and shortening the nose) may require revision surgery.
- When cartilage or dermis is harvested, the donor site (inside the nose, ear, rib or buttock) may have discomfort such as pain or a scar.
Results and recovery vary by individual. Possible complications are explained during consultation.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the nasolabial angle adjusted?
The nasolabial angle is where the nose meets the upper lip and it affects how the profile looks. The clinic gives 95β110 degrees for women and 90β95 degrees for men as its design reference; the actual angle is decided in consultation based on facial proportions and condition.
What is 2-layer fixation?
The clinic describes 2-layer fixation as custom-cutting the tip cartilage and then fixing it in two stages. Even after fixation, the shape can change depending on tissue condition and healing.
Which autologous cartilage is used?
The clinic lists septal cartilage, rib cartilage, ear cartilage and autologous dermis. Septal cartilage is harvested inside the nose with no other incision; rib cartilage is used where support and durability are needed; ear cartilage is used for the tip or when septal cartilage is insufficient; dermis is used where the skin over the bridge is thin or soft tissue is lacking. The material is decided after examination and consultation.
What tests are done prior to surgery?
According to the clinic, a 3D-CT scan analyses the internal structure of the nose, cartilage, skin layers and functional problems, and the results are reflected in the surgical plan. A nasal CT scan is listed separately on the clinic fee schedule at KRW 50,000β100,000 (VAT not included).
