“The stability of the nasal tip support structure is key to long-lasting rhinoplasty results.” — The ONYX Core principle
Dr. Yoo personally leads each patient’s care — from the first 1:1 consultation and 3D assessment through surgery and follow-up. His approach to rhinoplasty starts beneath the surface: stabilising the nasal tip support structure first, then refining a line that suits the whole face rather than the nose alone.

ONYX Core Rhinoplasty
A beautiful nose begins with a strong foundation.
For results to last, the underlying structure must be strong before the visible shape is refined. ONYX Core Rhinoplasty first establishes a stable central support for the nasal tip, then builds a natural, sophisticated nasal line on top of it.
Rather than simply changing the height or shape of the nose, we consider the nasal bridge, tip support, facial proportions and your individual anatomy — to create a well-supported contour that complements the entire face and keeps its natural character.
ONYX Philosophy
Refining beauty from the nose’s fundamental structure
01
02
Precise line design
The projection, rotation and length of the nasal tip are adjusted in three dimensions, refining every detail to create the intended nasal line.
03
Completed with your own cartilage
Using the patient’s own (autologous) cartilage creates a natural, stable result and minimises concerns related to foreign-body reactions.
Beautiful Line · Clinical Proportions
When the structure is refined, the line shines.
ONYX Core designs the ideal angles and proportions first, then refines them into a natural line suited to you. These reference ranges guide planning and are individualised at consultation.
95–110°
Nasolabial angle
The angle between the nasal tip and upper lip — a naturally refined degree of tip rotation, particularly suited to feminine facial proportions.
0.55–0.60
Goode ratio
The ratio of nasal projection to nasal length, creating a balanced, harmonious profile from the side.
1 : 1
Intercanthal width to nose width
From the front, the nose looks most balanced when its width aligns with the distance between the inner corners of the eyes.
ONYX Key Points
One surgery, planned for lasting beauty.
POINT 01
1:1 surgeon consultation
The surgeon personally evaluates your nasal structure and designs a customised line based on your facial proportions, skin condition and features.
POINT 02
3D CT & virtual simulation
Detailed structural assessment with 3D CT, plus 3D-scan simulation, balances your aesthetic goals with facial harmony.
POINT 03
Structure-focused design
Weakened nasal structures and tissue conditions are corrected and stabilised before the final shape is refined.
POINT 04
Natural-looking results
Not an excessively high or artificial nose — a refined, balanced line that blends with your overall features.
Revision Rhinoplasty in Seoul
A second surgery should fix the structure, not just the shape.
Patients usually consider revision rhinoplasty when:
- The shape of the nose doesn’t feel right
- Implants are visible or noticeable
- The tip has dropped or changed shape over time
Dr. Yoo reviews previous surgery with a 3D CT assessment before recommending a plan, and rebuilds support using autologous cartilage where needed.

For International Patients
Rhinoplasty in Korea: your questions answered.
How long should I stay in Seoul for rhinoplasty?
Most international patients plan for around 7–10 days: consultation and pre-operative tests, surgery, then splint and suture removal roughly one week later. Dr. Yoo confirms your exact schedule after assessing your case. Rhinoplasty recovery in Korea →
When can I fly home after nose surgery?
Many patients fly after their one-week check, once the splint and stitches are removed and the surgeon has cleared them for travel. Swelling continues to settle over the following months, so you leave with a written aftercare plan. Flying after rhinoplasty →
Do you use my own cartilage or implants?
ONYX Core Rhinoplasty is centred on autologous cartilage — septal, ear or rib, depending on your anatomy and goals. Silicone may be discussed for bridge augmentation in suitable cases. Your recommendation follows a 3D CT assessment. Rib cartilage rhinoplasty →
Can you correct a previous rhinoplasty?
Yes. Revision rhinoplasty at ONYX begins by evaluating the existing structure, implants and scar tissue, then restoring stable support before refining shape. Bring any records from your previous surgery if available. Revision rhinoplasty →
Will my nose look natural?
That is the goal of every ONYX plan. Rather than an overly high or artificial nose, lines are designed from your facial proportions so the result blends with your features.
Is English support available?
Yes. Consultations can be arranged in English, and our team answers messages on WhatsApp at +82-10-5169-8884.
