How is rhinoplasty for men different from rhinoplasty for women?

A man’s nose differs from a woman’s in skin thickness as well as shape. A woman’s nose suits a soft S-line, while a straight line brings out the appeal of a man’s nose. We shape a masculine nose while considering your bone structure and skin.

I have a busy job. How long should I stay in Korea?

Surgery takes about 1 hour 30 minutes under sedation, with no hospital stay. Stitches come out after 4–6 days, and recovery takes about 7 days. Plan to stay about a week.

What materials are used?

The right material depends on your nose and the shape you want. Dr. Cho examines your nose at your consultation and explains the options. We never use a material without explaining it to you and getting your consent.

Will Dr. Cho really perform my surgery?

KOKO Plastic Surgery has one surgeon: Dr. Cho, our representative director. He handles everything from your consultation to your surgery. A medical interpreter joins you for both.

How much does rhinoplasty for men cost?

It depends on your nose and the materials used. Send three photos of your face — front, side and 45° — on WhatsApp (+82 10-9608-0042), along with your surgical history. We will give you an estimate, and we can also go over it in an online consultation.

What if I need a touch-up after surgery at KOKO?

Nose surgery performed by Dr. Cho is covered by our Rhinoplasty Revision Policy. If a revision (touch-up surgery) is needed within 1 year of surgery, we perform one revision at no surgical fee. The sedation fee is charged separately.

Rhinoplasty for Men

A straight, masculine bridge that suits your bone structure

A man’s nose differs from a woman’s not only in shape, but also in skin thickness. So rhinoplasty for men takes a different approach from rhinoplasty for women.

At KOKO Plastic Surgery, we create a straight, masculine nose line while considering male bone structure and skin. Results vary from person to person.

What is rhinoplasty for men?

A man’s nose is different from a woman’s. Skin thickness differs as well as shape, so surgery calls for a thorough understanding of those differences.

At KOKO Plastic Surgery, we approach rhinoplasty for men differently from rhinoplasty for women. A straight, linear bridge helps your whole face look natural.

Risks and side effects

Results and recovery vary from person to person. The main risks and side effects are:

Swelling and bruising after surgery
Infection or inflammation
Asymmetry, or a result that differs from what you pictured
An implant shifting, showing through or becoming exposed (when an implant is used)
Pain or a scar where rib cartilage was taken (when rib cartilage is used)
Contracture (tissue hardens and the nose shrinks)

If anything concerns you, you can still reach us on WhatsApp after you fly home.

How men and women differ

The same surgery, aiming for a different line

In the diagrams, the pink line shows each nose line and the dotted gray line shows a soft, feminine curve.

The line of the bridge

A woman’s nose: a soft S-line

A woman’s nose tends to suit an S-line, a soft curve that runs from the bridge to the tip.
A man’s nose: one straight line

In a man’s nose, a bridge that runs in one straight line is what brings out its masculine appeal.
We decide on a line that suits your face, considering your bone structure and skin thickness.
