Rhinoplasty at Kowon Plastic Surgery
Kowon offers primary, revision, male and functional rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim Hyeongtaek, including cartilage-grafting options.
Minor change or full revision
Ask why your goal requires either a limited adjustment or a broader revision, and which parts of the previous result can remain.
Match material to purpose
Have the surgeon explain the role of each proposed graft or implant in the bridge, tip or structural correction.
Discuss your own anatomy and goals
- Which materials and approach would you recommend for my specific nose?
- What credentials and nasal surgery experience can you provide for my surgeon?
- How would the plan differ between a minor adjustment and a full revision?
Before you decide
Ask to meet the surgeon who will operate, review cases with similar anatomy and confirm the proposed changes in writing. Discuss both appearance and breathing, including what the procedure cannot achieve for your nose.
