Yes — a collapsed nasal bridge is one of the more common revision rhinoplasty concerns we see from patients traveling to Korea, and it's generally correctable, though the exact approach depends on why the nose bridge collapsed in the first place. If insufficient support structure was the cause, Dr. Kim typically rebuilds the framework using sturdier cartilage — often rib cartilage, since it provides the structural strength needed to hold a corrected nasal bridge shape long-term.
If scar tissue contracture is contributing to the bridge collapse, that scar tissue may need to be carefully released as part of the nose revision, in addition to rebuilding structural support — addressing both the cause and the current shape together, rather than just adding material on top of an unresolved underlying issue.
Consultation Tip
Ask Dr. Kim to explain specifically why your bridge collapsed — understanding the cause helps you trust that the revision plan is addressing the root issue, not just the visible dip.
