What happens during the first rhinoplasty consultation in Korea?

Published

Outcomes and side effects vary from person to person. Bleeding, infection, swelling and asymmetry may occur. Please consult our medical team before making a decision.

Your first consultation typically begins with a conversation about what you'd like to change and, just as importantly, what you'd like to keep about your nose. Dr. Kim Hyung-taek will examine your nasal structure, skin thickness, and facial proportions in person or via detailed photos and video call if you're consulting remotely.

From there, Dr. Kim explains which technique — whether bridge augmentation, tip refinement, rib cartilage grafting, or a combination — fits your specific anatomy and goals, and walks you through realistic expectations for your results. You'll have time to ask questions and see how your case compares to similar patients he has treated.

Consultation Tip

Come with a clear sense of your top priority — whether it's breathing, a specific profile change, or correcting a past surgery — so the consultation can focus on what matters most to you.
