How a nose is built
A nose has three layers
Which layer causes your concern decides the method. At TIANA it is checked on 3D-CT and in the examination before the plan is made.
- Skin and soft tissue
- Cartilage
- Bone
Methods
Where each method works
Own cartilage at the tip
Septal, ear or rib cartilage is grafted to shape and support the tip. Which one is used depends on skin thickness, how much support the tip needs and any previous surgery.
Silicone implant along the bridge
A silicone implant placed along the bridge raises a low bridge. With thin skin or past implant trouble, own tissue or rib cartilage is considered instead.
Hump reduction and osteotomy
The bony bump on the upper bridge is reduced, and a wide bony bridge can be narrowed with osteotomy. Whether this is needed is checked on 3D-CT.
Alar base reduction
Tissue is removed at the base of the nostrils to narrow them: on the outer side when the flare stands out, inside the nostril when the opening is wide. The outer scar follows the crease beside the nostril.

Price
How much does rhinoplasty cost in Korea? What sets the price
Three factors that set the cost
1) Scope (tip only, or a full rhinoplasty of bridge and tip), 2) your nose (cartilage available and skin thickness), and 3) whether it is a revision. Two bulbous tips can need very different surgery, and very different costs.
The final fee is confirmed after examination. Results vary by individual.
FAQ
Rhinoplasty in Korea: questions we often get
It depends on the scope of surgery and the condition of your nose, and differs between full and partial procedures. Send photos on WhatsApp and we will explain your personal price range (the final fee is confirmed after examination; results vary).
Swelling settles at a different pace for everyone, so TIANA does not give one fixed period. The surgeon guides you individually from your progress photos. Minimal-incision procedures tend to recover faster.
Plan on about 7 to 14 nights. Staying until the stitches and splint are removed makes the trip smoother. Please discuss your schedule with us in advance.
Yes. Message us in English on WhatsApp; send photos and the reply comes in English.
Start on WhatsApp in English with 5 photos of your nose (front, 45-degree and side); the free reply explains the likely scope of surgery and how the estimate is worked out. In Seoul, day 1 is the in-person consultation and surgery, the following days are check-ups, the splint and outer stitches come off on day 7 and the inner stitches on day 14, so plan about 7 to 14 nights.
Yes. We consult on difficult cases such as contracture and deformity. Please share your current condition on WhatsApp.
That is a natural worry. A specialist diagnoses your nose 1:1 and focuses on a natural nose that suits your face rather than a dramatic change. Revision support is in place as well.
It depends on your nose and how much stress the tissue can take. With safety first, the surgeon explains what is possible after examination.

Guides
Guides from our surgeon
Cost, recovery, revisions and more. Start with the question you have now.
- When Can I Exercise After Rhinoplasty? Gym and SportWalking is fine within days of rhinoplasty.
- Wide Nose Bridge: Is It the Bone, the Skin or a Low Bridge?A nose bridge can look wide because of the nasal bones, thick skin, a low bridge or a round tip. Each has a different fix, so the cause is checked before osteotomy is planned.
- When Can I Blow My Nose After Rhinoplasty? 3 StagesNo blowing while the splint is on, about the first week. Gentle blowing commonly returns in weeks two to four, later after bone or septum work. Until then: dab, use a saline mist, sneeze with your mouth open.
- Is a Nose Job Worth It? Yes, for One Fixable FeatureA nose job is usually worth it when one feature you can name bothers you, surgery can change it, and you can carry the nights away and the possibility of a revision. It usually isn't for a vague wish or a deadline.
- How to Choose a Revision Rhinoplasty Clinic in KoreaA revision is usually harder than the first nose job, so choose the clinic by what it can rebuild with: experience with contracture, access to rib cartilage, and one surgeon from exam to aftercare. Most surgeons prefer about a year since the last operation.
- Korea Revision Rhinoplasty Booking? Photos & CostYou don't need a booked appointment to start a revision rhinoplasty consultation in Korea. Five photos on WhatsApp come first, and the final plan and fee are set after 3D-CT and an examination in Seoul.
