What is Flat Nose Bridge Correction Surgery?

Flat nose bridge correction, also known as dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to raise and define a low or flat nasal bridge. Common among East Asian facial structures, a flat nose bridge can create a less defined profile. This surgery enhances the height and contour of the nose, resulting in a more balanced and refined facial appearance.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we specialize in natural-looking flat nose bridge augmentation using silicone implants, autologous cartilage, or dermal fillers. Our expert surgeons tailor each procedure to match your facial proportions and aesthetic goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for Flat Nose Bridge Correction?

You may be a good candidate for flat nose bridge correction if you:

✔ Have a naturally low or flat nasal bridge
✔ Desire a more defined and elevated nose profile
✔ Are in good physical and mental health
✔ Have realistic expectations for surgical outcomes
✔ Wish to enhance overall facial balance and side profile

A consultation at CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic will help determine the best approach for your specific needs.

How is Flat Nose Bridge Correction Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• Facial analysis and 3D imaging to design the ideal nose shape
• Discussion of materials (silicone, cartilage, or filler) and desired height

2. Surgical Approach

• Performed under local or general anesthesia depending on complexity
• A small incision is made (typically inside the nostrils) to insert the implant or cartilage
• Common methods include:
– Silicone implants for structured and lasting augmentation
– Autologous cartilage (from ear or rib) for a natural option
– Dermal fillers for temporary, non-surgical correction
The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours.

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Mild swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes may occur
• A nasal splint may be applied for 5–7 days to protect the new shape
• Follow-up visits are necessary to monitor healing and outcomes
• Most patients resume work and light activities within 5–7 days

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Swelling & Bruising: 1–2 weeks
• Return to Work/Daily Activities: 5–7 days
• Exercise & Strenuous Activities: After 3–4 weeks
• Final Results: Fully visible after 2–3 months

Following all post-operative care instructions, such as avoiding pressure on the nose and protecting it from trauma, is essential to maintain results.
