From a Curved Nose to a Straight Nose: A Customized Male Rhinoplasty Korea Case

Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang from NOSELAB Clinic.

Today, I’d like to share a male rhinoplasty Korea case. The patient presented with a curved, upturned nose, significant right-sided nasal obstruction, and excessive nostril exposure in the frontal view. His request was to achieve a straighter, masculine nasal bridge while restoring comfortable breathing.

Surgical Plan for Male Rhinoplasty Korea

Functional Correction (Septoplasty & Turbinate Reduction)

Septoplasty corrected the deviated septum.
Radiofrequency reduction of inferior turbinates improved airflow and breathing.

Septal Extension with Autologous Rib Cartilage

Corrected nostril asymmetry
Straightened the crooked tip
Lowered the upturned nasal tip

Implant Replacement for a Straighter Bridge

Removed the old, uneven implant
Inserted a new implant starting at a lower point for natural balance
Straightened the dorsal line for a stronger, masculine appearance

Nasal Tip and Nasolabial Angle Refinement

Lowered the nasal tip for a natural, masculine profile
Adjusted the nasolabial angle to ~90°, reinforcing a masculine contour

👉 All steps were performed using a closed rhinoplasty approach, leaving no external scars.

This case demonstrates the importance of gender-specific rhinoplasty. In male rhinoplasty Korea, the ideal nose is straight with less tip rotation and a ~90° nasolabial angle, unlike the softer, curved line preferred in female rhinoplasty.

The use of rib cartilage provided stability for correcting multiple deformities, while implant replacement established a masculine bridge. Functional procedures such as septoplasty and turbinate reduction improved the patient’s breathing and quality of life.

At NOSELAB Clinic, we provide tailored solutions for men seeking a nose that is both strong and natural.
