Quick answer

What is rhinoplasty, and what can it change?

Rhinoplasty (nose surgery or a nose job) changes the shape of the nose by reshaping its bone and cartilage. It can raise or lower the bridge, refine or lift the tip, narrow the base, straighten a crooked nose and improve breathing.

Most patients need a combination of these steps. The plan is decided after a 1:1 consultation and 3D CT scan, so the result fits your face rather than a template.

FAQ

Rhinoplasty in Seoul: your questions answered.

How much does rhinoplasty cost in Seoul?

The cost depends on the areas corrected, whether it is a first or revision surgery, and the materials used. ONYX gives an estimated range after reviewing your photos.

How long should I stay in Korea for rhinoplasty?

Around 7–10 days: consultation and tests, surgery, then splint and stitch removal about one week later.

Will my rhinoplasty look natural?

ONYX designs the nose from your facial proportions and structure rather than a single trend, aiming for a result that looks like it has always been yours.

Do you use implants or my own cartilage?

ONYX prefers your own cartilage, especially for the tip. A silicone implant may be used for bridge height when it suits your anatomy.

Can I get an opinion before travelling?

Yes. Send front, side and 45° photos on WhatsApp and Dr. Yoo will give a preliminary opinion in English.
