What Led the Patient to Seek Crooked Nose Correction in Korea?

The patient came to NOSELAB Clinic with a desire for a naturally balanced nasal contour. Rather than aiming for dramatic elongation or excessive refinement, the patient prioritized subtle definition, improved nasal symmetry, and a gentle contour that suits their overall face.

Each patient has their own idea of beauty. In this case, we focused on a “natural refinement” approach—avoiding the over-stylized look, while still correcting structural deviations. Rib cartilage was essential for strengthening the nasal framework, lifting the tip, and preventing postoperative collapse.

Importantly, we addressed nasal asymmetry and breathing difficulties in one session—proving that aesthetic and functional corrections can (and should) go hand-in-hand for sustainable results.
