Ethnic Rhinoplasty in Seoul | Gangnam Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a customized nose surgery that enhances nasal shape while respecting and preserving unique ethnic features. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which often aims for a Westernized nose, ethnic rhinoplasty considers facial harmony, skin thickness, and cultural aesthetics to achieve natural, balanced results.

At Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Dr. Kwon specializes in Asian, African, and Middle Eastern rhinoplasty, using advanced techniques to refine the nose while ensuring a natural, authentic look.

Who is a Good Candidate for Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

You may be a candidate for ethnic rhinoplasty if you: ✔ Desire a refined nasal structure while maintaining ethnic identity
✔ Have a flat, low nasal bridge and seek augmentation
✔ Want to correct a bulbous or wide nasal tip
✔ Wish to narrow wide nostrils (alar reduction)
✔ Have breathing issues or a deviated septum
✔ Prefer natural-looking results rather than drastic changes

A personalized consultation with Dr. Kwon ensures the best approach for your specific facial structure and aesthetic goals.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty Techniques

Ethnic rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on complexity.

Key Techniques Used:

• Bridge Augmentation – Enhances a flat or low nasal bridge using autologous cartilage (rib, ear, septum) or implants (Gore-Tex, silicone).
• Tip Refinement (Tip Plasty) – Reshapes a bulbous or wide nasal tip for better definition and proportion.
• Alar Base Reduction – Reduces wide nostrils to create a more refined appearance.
• Nasal Lengthening or Projection – Improves a short nose for a more balanced profile.
• Hump Reduction – Smooths out a humped nasal bridge for a softer contour.
• Functional Improvements – Corrects deviated septums or breathing difficulties for better airflow.

Dr. Kwon tailors each procedure to enhance natural beauty without erasing ethnic identity.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Mild swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
• Splint and sutures removed around day 7
• Most patients resume work or daily activities within 10–14 days
• Final nose shape refines over 6–12 months
• Minimal visible scarring with advanced surgical techniques

Following post-operative instructions ensures a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
