How to Choose the Best Asian Rhinoplasty Surgeon

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Korean Rhinoplasty

Getting cosmetic surgery in Korea can prove to be a challenge. With so many options available, finding an experienced asian rhinoplasty surgeon is a much more difficult task than finding an experienced surgeon in other facial plastic surgeries.

This is especially the case for Asian rhinoplasty, for there are marked differences in the Oriental nose and Western nose.

Interest in Asian rhinoplasty

Find a surgeon who is knowledgeable and well-acquainted with aesthetic surgery in Asians. For instance, implant augmentation is one of the most widely requested in Asia, while dorsal hump and tip reduction is more common in non-Asians. Often, one of the most frequently used is the L-shaped implant.

A surgeon who addresses the airway

There have been cases where airway problems have arose after surgery. You’ll want to find a surgeon who acknowledges this issue. Someone who understands nasal anatomy, its dynamics and who will be mindful of your airway while performing surgery.

Advanced training in rhinoplasty

It may be shocking to you, but even though South Korea is one of the most cosmetically enhanced nations in the world, according to plastic surgery statistics, not every surgeon has had advanced training in rhinoplasty. Is your surgeon board-certified and experienced in performing Asian rhinoplasty?

Personality and Ethics

While there are some of the best plastic surgeons in Korea who are board-certified and experience, let us not forget the importance of personality and ethics. Is your chosen surgeon someone who will address your concerns both before and after surgery?
