Start from your concern
Which of these looks most like your nose?
The dotted line is a balanced nose; the blue line shows each concern. Choose one to see the surgery and cases.
- Upturned or short nose The tip points up, so your nostrils show from the front.
- Bulbous nose A round, large tip makes your face look heavier.
- Low nose A low bridge leaves your profile looking flat.
- Dorsal hump A bump partway down the bridge stands out in profile.
- Contracted nose After an earlier surgery, the tip has shrunk and hardened.
- Worried about a past surgery Your implant shows through, moves or looks crooked.

Our doctor’s promise
We choose your materials before surgery and explain them
At your consultation, Dr. Cho chooses the materials based on your nose and the shape you want, and explains why. If something unexpected is found during surgery, he tells you about it himself afterward.
We never use a material we have not proposed to you without your consent.
After surgery, we walk you through each step, showing you video and photos taken during the operation.
- Opened the first nose surgery clinic in Apgujeong
- Full member of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the Korean Society of Aesthetic Rhinoplasty and others
