FAQ
Rhinoplasty in Korea is estimated at $3,000-$8,000 depending on complexity, compared with a typical $8,000-$15,000 in the USA. What a quote includes (surgeon fee, anesthesia, hospital stay, aftercare) varies by clinic, and the treating clinic confirms the final price after your consultation.
After rhinoplasty in Korea, a splint is worn for 5-7 days. Stitches are removed at day 7. Most swelling subsides within 2-3 weeks, with final results visible at 6-12 months. We recommend staying in Korea for 7-10 days post-surgery.
Korean clinics offer: Open rhinoplasty (full reshaping), Closed rhinoplasty (minimal scarring), Tip plasty (tip refinement only), Alar reduction (nostril narrowing), Augmentation rhinoplasty (bridge building with implant or cartilage), and Revision rhinoplasty (correcting previous surgery).
