This Closed Rhinoplasty Korea case by Dr.Kang’s NoseLab features correction of an upturned, pinch, and bulbous nose with simultaneous columella and tip lengthening. Through the closed approach, the surgery achieved a more natural nasal projection and balanced facial ratio without external scars.
Closed Rhinoplasty Korea – Patient Background
The patient presented with a short and upturned nose, causing an overly exposed nostril view. The nasal tip appeared pinched and round, and the columella was short, giving the nose an upturned and compressed look.
Closed Rhinoplasty Korea – Surgical Plan
Dr. Kang designed a closed rhinoplasty procedure focusing on natural extension and refinement:
Lengthened the columella using septal cartilage
Extended and supported the nasal tip
Refined the bulbous nasal tip for softer definition
Corrected pinch deformity for better contour
Achieved overall projection using internal approach only
All corrections were done through internal incisions, ensuring no visible external scars.
Closed Rhinoplasty Korea – Postoperative Result
After surgery, the nasal tip was lengthened and more defined, the nostrils became less visible, and the nasal bridge appeared naturally extended. The patient’s facial proportions improved, creating a harmonious and natural appearance.

Closed Rhinoplasty Korea – Dr. Kang’s Comment
“This case focused on precise tip and columella lengthening while maintaining natural nasal structure. Using the closed rhinoplasty Korea method, we successfully balanced function and form without any external incision.”
NoseLab performs all surgeries using the closed approach.
