Large nose surgery in Seoul, Korea
Large nose surgery in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: reduction rhinoplasty that brings bridge, tip and nostrils into proportion.
Typical ranges for large nose surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is large nose surgery?
Large nose surgery is reduction rhinoplasty that makes an oversized nose smaller and more proportionate by lowering the bridge, narrowing the bones, refining the tip and, if needed, reducing the nostrils. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is planned with 3D-CT by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
A nose can look large because of a high hump, wide bones, a bulky tip or wide nostrils, and each element needs a different technique. Reduction must be balanced: the skin has to redrape over the smaller framework, and the airway must be preserved.
Who is large nose surgery for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- A nose that dominates the face in front or profile view
- A high bridge or hump with a bulky tip
- Wide nasal bones
- People seeking proportion rather than a very small nose
How large nose surgery is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon identifies which parts make the nose appear large, checks skin thickness and plans a reduction that keeps structure and breathing intact.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Reducing in proportion The hump is lowered, the bones are narrowed with osteotomies, the tip cartilages are refined and supported, and the nostrils are narrowed if required.
- 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 much smaller can my nose be made?
It depends on skin thickness and structure. Thick skin limits how much the nose can be reduced while still showing definition.
Will reduction affect my breathing?
A well-planned reduction preserves or reinforces the internal valves so that breathing is maintained.
Is large nose surgery different from standard rhinoplasty?
It is a type of rhinoplasty in which reduction is the main goal, often combining hump reduction, osteotomy, tip refinement and alar reduction.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
