About the clinic
Rhinoplasty at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, offers both cosmetic reshaping and functional correction for breathing issues. The clinic holds KAHF certification from the Korean government and maintains a 4.9/5 rating from global patients. This procedure is led by board-certified specialists who use 3D CT analysis to plan every surgery based on the patient's unique facial structure.
Rhinoplasty Methods and Materials
The clinic provides several surgical options to meet different patient needs. Primary rhinoplasty focuses on shaping the bridge and tip using a mix of silicone and natural tissue. For those who want to avoid synthetic materials, implant-free rhinoplasty uses only the patient's own tissue. This method helps prevent foreign-body reactions or contracture. Revision rhinoplasty is also available for patients who need reconstructive work, often using rib cartilage for better support. Doctors can perform alar reduction to narrow nostrils or septoplasty to fix a deviated septum at the same time.
Surgeons choose from various materials to achieve natural results:
- Autologous rib cartilage for strong structural support.
- Septal and ear cartilage for tip refinement.
- Autologous dermis for natural-looking bridge work.
- Silicone implants specifically for bridge augmentation.
Specialized Surgical Approaches
Dr. Jo Kyu-Sang and Dr. Ma Seong-Hwan offer tailored techniques for specific groups. Male rhinoplasty focuses on a straight bridge and a strong T-zone with minimal tip elevation. Ethnic rhinoplasty aims to preserve facial harmony rather than creating a generic nose shape. Dr. Ma Seong-Hwan is particularly known for his work on male and revision cases. Dr. Lee Dong-Han also contributes expertise in revision surgery hospital selection. The clinic follows a named-surgeon policy, so one doctor manages the consultation, the operation, and all follow-up care.
Safety and Recovery Process
Patient safety is managed by in-house board-certified anesthesiologists and real-time central monitoring. The operating rooms include CCTV for transparency and carry dantrolene for emergency care. Before surgery, patients undergo 3D CT scans to find hidden structural issues. The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure. Patients typically return to the clinic 2 or 3 times for follow-up visits.
The recovery timeline involves several stages:
- Splint removal occurs around day 7.
- Suture removal happens between 7 and 14 days.
- Light activities can usually start after about 2 weeks.
- Major swelling goes down in about 1 month.
- Full resolution of swelling may take about 6 months.

Seeing the computer imaging of my expected result during the consultation was a key moment
Seeing the computer imaging of my expected result during the consultation was a key moment. The surgeon was direct and honest about what was realistic, and I appreciated that he personally handled both the consultation and the open rhinoplasty surgery for my full nose reshaping. The clinic staff has been easy to reach, and their aftercare guide is clear. I’m still healing. Be prepared for additional expenses like Ubers, hotel, recommended post-op meds, and lots of supplies like gauze, tape, and dry mouth spray. My advice for others is to bring a guardian; the first 3 days are very difficult and you will need help. Also, make sure to coordinate your arrival and departure dates so you don't leave before all your post-op care is finished.
The entire process was very organized, efficient and full of all necessary details. Communication responses are quick. Questions are answered with details and lots of backup information. The coordination between ALL the different departments is fantastic. The Clinic is immaculate. The Doctor is so professional and experienced and he has empathy and confidence. Top-notch all-around. And the Clinic is in a very good location. Everyone makes you feel like you matter and they want to make sure you feel happy and satisfied throughout the entire process.
The only thing is to just communicate more the post-op care during the initial phase. That it’s important to not book a flight home too soon after surgery. And that departure is coordinated based upon the surgery type. Also, a “care” bag that includes an emollient lip balm and dry mouth spray, as well as the gauze and tape needed for rhinoplasty. Having these things would help sooooo much with the recovery. My daughter had to go and buy these things separately and I suffered the first night until she was able to buy these items for me. Other than that —- everything else was just great

The support from the surgeon and staff has made all the difference
My biggest worry was how the incision lines would heal and what the final result would be. I'm still in the early stages, but I feel so relieved and grateful. The team achieved a really good lift, and my nipples are already in a good position. The healing itself is progressing—there is some scabbing along the lollipop incision lines, which is to be expected. Honestly, the biggest challenge by far has been sleeping upright. It's tough. But the support from the surgeon and staff has made all the difference. I feel I made the right decision coming here.
The staff is really attentive to your needs. And now that I am home they are still very responsive and concerned about my healing.
