Rhinoplasty at Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic
Merry offers first-time rhinoplasty and revision care for contracted noses, considering nasal appearance and function in the consultation.
Tissue condition first
For a contracted nose, ask how the surgeon assesses the existing tissues before deciding on the extent and timing of correction.
Clarify the revision stages
Discuss whether the proposed treatment is a single operation or staged care, and how that affects the visits you must plan in Korea.
Discuss your own anatomy and goals
- How would you assess contraction and tissue condition before revision?
- Would my revision require one operation or staged treatment?
- How will functional breathing concerns be evaluated alongside appearance?
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.
