Most healthy adults with fully developed nasal cartilage are candidates for rhinoplasty. Good candidacy depends less on your starting nose shape and more on your overall health, realistic expectations, and whether there's enough of your own tissue (or, when needed, rib cartilage) to work with safely.
Certain medical conditions — uncontrolled bleeding disorders, active infections, or certain chronic illnesses — may require additional evaluation or timing adjustments before surgery can be scheduled. This is exactly what your consultation is for: an honest, individualized assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.
Consultation Tip
Share your full medical history honestly, even details that seem unrelated to your nose — it helps Dr. Kim plan the safest, most appropriate approach for you.
