Rhinoplasty in Seoul, Korea
Rhinoplasty in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: nose surgery planned with 3D-CT and shaped to your facial proportions by board-certified surgeons.
Typical ranges for rhinoplasty; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is surgery that reshapes the bridge, tip or nostrils of the nose and can also improve breathing. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, board-certified plastic surgeons plan each case with 3D-CT and correct the nose according to your facial ratio, usually in up to two hours with same-day discharge.
A natural result depends on proportion: bridge height, tip projection and nostril width are balanced against the forehead, lips and chin. Marble uses septal, ear or rib cartilage when an implant is not ideal, and offers custom-fit implants for the bridge. Functional problems such as a deviated septum can be corrected in the same operation.
Who is rhinoplasty for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- A low or flat bridge, or a tip that lacks definition
- A hump, wide base, bulbous tip or crooked nose
- Breathing difficulty from a deviated septum
- People who want a change that fits their face rather than a fixed template
How rhinoplasty is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon examines skin thickness, cartilage and the septum, reviews 3D-CT images with you and agrees the bridge line and tip shape.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Reshaping bridge and tip Through an open or closed approach, the bridge is refined or augmented and the tip is shaped with your own cartilage, with bone or nostril adjustments added as planned.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Most patients go home the same day. A splint is usually worn for about a week, and visible swelling settles over roughly two weeks, with the tip continuing to refine for months. Aftercare visits are scheduled on days 2, 7 and 14.
- Swelling injection on day 2
- Regenerative laser on days 7 and 14
- 1:1 progress checks with your surgeon
- Unlimited scar care

Frequently asked questions
How long should I stay in Seoul for rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty usually takes up to two hours with same-day discharge and about two weeks of recovery. Plan for around two weeks in Seoul so you can attend aftercare visits on days 2, 7 and 14.
What materials are used in rhinoplasty at Marble?
Depending on the plan: silicone or custom-fit implants for the bridge, and your own septal, ear or rib cartilage — or donor rib cartilage — for the tip and structural support.
Why is 3D-CT used before nose surgery?
It shows the nasal bones, septum and airway in three dimensions, which helps the surgeon plan the correction precisely and identify functional problems.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
