Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Department: Plastic Surgery · Rhinoplasty Category.
Consultation Model: 1:1 Specialist Consultation with Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee.

Overview of Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) at UNI Plastic Surgery focuses on harmonizing the nasal bridge, tip projection, and nasolabial angle with each patient's three-dimensional facial proportions. Because nasal bone width, septal cartilage strength, and nasal skin thickness differ across individuals, Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee conducts an in-depth 1:1 anatomical evaluation before establishing a tailored surgical plan.

Key Structural Considerations & Focus Areas

• Dorsal Line & Profile Proportions: Evaluates bridge height and smooth alignment from the glabella to the nasal tip.
• Nasal Tip Structural Support: Assesses cartilage framework and skin envelope thickness for stable, natural tip definition.
• Frontal & Oblique Facial Harmony: Balances alar width and nasal proportions in relation to the forehead, eyes, and chin.
• Board-Certified Specialist Planning: Conducted directly by Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee (Full Member of KSPRS and KSAPS).
