This Closed Rhinoplasty Korea case by Dr.Kang’s NoseLab involved a revision rhinoplasty to correct an upturned nose, bulbous tip, and hump nose while lowering the nasal starting point for a more natural profile. Through a fully closed approach, the surgery achieved refined balance and structure without external scars.


Closed Rhinoplasty Korea – Patient Background


The patient had previously undergone rhinoplasty elsewhere, resulting in an upturned nasal tip and visible hump along the bridge. The nose appeared short and rounded, especially from the front view, with an unnaturally high starting point.


Closed Rhinoplasty Korea – Surgical Plan


Dr. Kang designed a closed revision rhinoplasty that would:

  • Lower the nasal starting point for better balance

  • Smooth out the dorsal hump

  • Refine the bulbous nasal tip for definition

  • Adjust the upturned angle for natural projection

  • Maintain nasal structure and airway stability


All corrections were performed through internal incisions only, leaving no visible external scars.


Closed Rhinoplasty Korea – Postoperative Result


After surgery, the nasal bridge appeared lower and smoother, the tip became sharper and more proportionate, and the nose lengthened slightly for improved harmony.

The overall facial profile softened while maintaining structure and symmetry.

Closed Rhinoplasty Korea – Dr. Kang’s Comment


“This revision case required precise control of nasal tip rotation and bridge height. Using the closed rhinoplasty Korea method, we could realign the nasal proportions while keeping all incisions internal for a natural, scarless outcome.”


NoseLab performs all surgeries using the closed approach.
