[Before & After] Looking for a Top Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Korea? Key Points of Revision Rhinoplasty Using Your Own Rib Cartilage & Upturned Nose Correction (feat. KOKO Plastic Surgery Clinic)]
KOKO Plastic Surgery,
the first cosmetic surgery clinic specializing in nasal
procedures in Apgujeong, has opened its doors.
With 25years of surgical experience and expertise,
I am Dr. Jo Bae-jung from KOKO Plastic Surgery,
providing effective face slimming injection treatments.

The nose sits at the center of the face and is one of the most important features in determining your overall impression. However, many people visit our clinic considering revision rhinoplasty due to an unsuccessful first surgery or results they are not satisfied with.
When choosing a clinic for nose surgery, the two most important factors are ‘how reliable the surgeon’s expertise is’ and ‘the clinic’s actual results.’
Today, we will share immediate post-operative photos of a case performed at KOKO Plastic Surgery Clinic—revision rhinoplasty using your own rib cartilage (autologous rib), upturned nose correction, and nasal width osteotomy—and provide a professional analysis.

👃 Case Analysis by KOKO Plastic Surgery Clinic
In this case, the patient had previously undergone nasal surgery, after which the nasal tip appeared lifted and the nostrils looked widened, resulting in a lack of three-dimensional definition. To address these concerns, our clinic applied the following solutions.
Revision Rhinoplasty Using Autologous Rib Cartilage
The most important factor in revision rhinoplasty is creating a stable support structure. Instead of using pre-made silicone implants or a weakened nasal septum, we used the patient’s own rib cartilage to firmly support and shape the nasal tip. By using the patient’s own tissue, the risk of foreign-body reactions and complications is reduced, while long-term stability and durability can be achieved even over time.
Upturned Nose Correction (Nasolabial Angle Improvement)
An upturned nose, where the nostrils are overly visible from the front, can interfere with a refined and balanced facial appearance.
Nasal Width Osteotomy for a Slimmer Profile
When the nasal bridge itself appears wide or spread, simply increasing the height of the bridge can make the nose look larger. By combining a nasal width osteotomy to narrow the base of the nose, we were able to create a slimmer contour and achieve a much more defined and harmonious overall facial appearance.

📸 Immediate Post-Operative Results: Details of the Change
“Can you see how much the overall impression changes with just the nose?”
These photos were taken immediately after surgery. You can see that the previously blunt and upturned nasal line has transformed into a smoother, more refined, and three-dimensional contour.

🇰🇷 Why Korea for Rhinoplasty, and Why KOKO Plastic Surgery Clinic?
Among countless clinics, many patients choose KOKO Plastic Surgery Clinic because of our focus on ‘detail’. Rather than simply raising the bridge, rhinoplasty must take into account each individual’s skin thickness, cartilage condition, and overall facial proportions.
Revision rhinoplasty is a highly complex procedure, and getting the first step right—again—is more important than anything else. If you are concerned about an upturned nose or wide nostrils, there is no need to continue feeling stressed. We encourage you to explore the right solution through a professional consultation.
