Quick answer

What is a low nose bridge?

A low nose bridge sits close to the face between the eyes, with little height along the upper nose. It is very common in East Asian faces and is often paired with a soft, under-projected tip.

Correction is nose bridge augmentation: the bridge is raised with diced or solid cartilage, or with a silicone implant carved for you, and the tip is usually supported at the same time so the nose looks balanced.

Typical figures. Your surgeon confirms the details for your case.
Surgery time About 1.5–2.5 hours
Anaesthesia General anaesthesia
Approach Usually closed; open if the tip is refined too
Splint & stitches Removed after about 7 days
Stay in Seoul About 7–10 days

FAQ

Low Nose Bridge in Seoul: your questions answered.

Is cartilage or an implant better for the bridge?

Both have a role. Your own cartilage feels natural and resists infection; a custom silicone implant gives a smooth, defined line. Dr. Yoo recommends based on your skin and goals.

Will the bridge look too high?

ONYX designs bridge height from your facial proportions to avoid an overdone look.

Can filler raise a low bridge?

Filler can give a temporary lift, but it can spread and widen the bridge over time and carries vascular risk.

Can the implant show through the skin?

In thin skin an implant edge can become visible, so cartilage or fascia may be used to cover it.

Do I need tip surgery too?

Usually. Raising only the bridge can make a low tip look even lower.
