A Case Study of Rhinoplasty for Men in Korea – Achieving Natural Balance

Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang, head surgeon at Nose Lab Clinic.

Today, I would like to share a case of rhinoplasty for men, where the patient presented with a low and wide nose overshadowed by a prominent brow bone. The goal was to elevate the nasal radix and create a natural, balanced connection between the forehead and nose.

Pre-Surgery Analysis for Male Rhinoplasty

Patient’s Background & Requests:

History of nasal filler injection 10 years ago
Desired a natural straight nasal dorsum in harmony with his facial features

Findings:

Low nasal radix and short overall nose
Wide nasal base and nostril asymmetry
Drooping nasal tip
Protruding lips and receding chin (microgenia)
Prominent brow bone disrupting nasal balance

Surgical Plan for Rhinoplasty in Men

Nasal radix silicone implant to elevate starting point
Septal extension graft using autologous rib cartilage
Septoplasty for deviated septum
Turbinate reduction with radiofrequency laser
Alar cartilage repositioning and suturing for refinement
Removal of old filler and insertion of new silicone implant

Closed Rhinoplasty Procedures with Rib Cartilage

Nasal radix implant: custom-carved silicone implant to smooth transition between brow bone and nose
Septal extension graft: rib cartilage used to support and refine nasal tip
Septoplasty & turbinate reduction: improved nasal airflow and treated obstruction
Alar cartilage repositioning: reshaped tip and nostrils for symmetry
Filler removal & new implant: created a smooth and straight dorsum

Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes

This case demonstrates how male rhinoplasty can address both aesthetics and function. By elevating the radix and refining the tip with rib cartilage, we corrected structural issues and improved facial harmony. Functional surgery also resolved nasal obstruction.

At Nose Lab Clinic, we prioritize natural, masculine results in male patients, considering the relationship between the brow, nose, lips, and chin.

If you are considering rhinoplasty in Korea, consult with a specialist to design a method tailored to your facial features.
