Flat Nose Augmentation in Gangnam, Seoul
definition from bridge to tip.
Flat nose augmentation builds height and definition into a nose that is low at both the bridge and the tip. At ONYX in Gangnam, Seoul, the bridge and tip are planned as one structure, so the new profile looks balanced and the tip is strong enough to carry the added height.

What is flat nose augmentation?
Flat nose augmentation is rhinoplasty for a nose that is low overall: a flat bridge, a low or round tip and often wide nostrils. The bridge is raised with an implant or cartilage, and the tip is projected and supported with cartilage grafts.
Raising only the bridge on a weak tip can look unnatural and stress the skin. Building the tip at the same time gives a natural, stable result.
| Surgery time | About 2–3 hours |
|---|---|
| Anaesthesia | General anaesthesia |
| Materials | Implant or cartilage for the bridge; cartilage for the tip |
| Splint & stitches | Removed after about 5–7 days |
| Stay in Seoul | About 7–10 days |
| Final result | 6–12 months |
Signs of a flat nose
- A low bridge with little definition between the eyes
- A round or low nasal tip
- Nostrils that look wide from the front
- A profile that looks flat from the side
- Thicker skin over the tip
With thick skin, definition comes from strong structure underneath. Dr. Yoo will explain how much change your skin allows.
How a flat nose is augmented
- STEP 01
Simulate
Bridge height and tip projection are set together on 3D simulation.
- STEP 02
Build the tip
A septal extension graft from your own cartilage projects and supports the tip.
- STEP 03
Raise the bridge
A custom implant or cartilage adds height along the bridge.
- STEP 04
Refine the base
If needed, the nostrils are narrowed to match the new tip.
Flat nose augmentation recovery
Typical timeline only. Healing varies with the procedure, skin thickness and materials used.
- Day 1–3 Swelling along the bridge and tip.
- Day 5–7 Splint and stitches removed.
- Week 2–3 Bruising fades; most patients return to daily life.
- Month 3 The nose looks natural to others; the tip feels firm.
- Month 6–12 Final definition appears.
Flat Nose Augmentation in Seoul: your questions answered.
Is an implant needed for a flat nose?
Not always. Your own cartilage can add moderate height. For more height, an implant on the bridge with cartilage at the tip is a common combination.
Will my nose look too sharp or artificial?
The height is set to your face on 3D simulation, aiming for a natural profile rather than a dramatic one.
Can the nostrils be narrowed at the same time?
Yes, alar base or nostril reduction is often added in the same operation.
How long should I stay in Seoul?
About 7–10 days for splint removal and a check-up before flying.
Can I get an opinion before travelling?
Yes, send front, side and 45° photos on WhatsApp for a preliminary plan.
