๐ Achieving the Oh Yeon-seo Look! โ Natural Straight-Semi-Curved Rhinoplasty Review
A case study of a natural straight-semi-curved rhinoplasty for a patient seeking a sophisticated yet natural look similar to actress Oh Yeon-seo.

Hello.
I am Dr. Yoo Young-moon, Director of VIBE Plastic Surgery. ๐
Today, I would like to introduce a case of a female patient in her late teens who desired a natural rhinoplasty.
* Pre-surgery Concerns
โMy nose is low and blunt.โ โI want a natural yet sophisticated straight-semi-curved nose.โ
This patient had been concerned about her low and blunt nose since she was young. Rather than an artificial change, she wanted an image similar to actress Oh Yeon-seo, who is known for her natural straight-semi-curved nose line.

๐ Rhinoplasty Plan
Improve the low nasal bridge using an implant.
Create a sturdy support structure using costal cartilage.
Plan a smooth straight-semi-curved line flowing from the bridge to the tip and the philtrum.












* Post-surgery Changes
Days 1โ3
Swelling is mainly concentrated around the nose tip and the glabella (between the eyebrows).
Days 5โ7
The overall contour of the nose begins to emerge, and the tip line starts to become more defined.
The previously bulbous nose becomes slimmer and starts to look slightly more pointed.
Weeks 2โ3
Stabilization of the natural straight-semi-curved line.
Months 2โ3
Completion of a feminine straight-semi-curved nose similar to Oh Yeon-seoโs.
The flow of the line is smooth and natural from the side, 45-degree angle, and front view.
๐ Post-operative Recovery Process
The swelling period was relatively short, and the natural changes became apparent quickly.
As a case of becoming naturally more beautiful, the patient reported very positive reactions from those around her :)
๐ Recommended for:
Those who want a youthful look without excessive surgery.
Those who want natural surgery that considers the overall balance of the face.
As seen in this case, for patients in their teens or early 20s, a natural yet distinct change is much more important than an overdone surgery.
Clearly defined, yet subtle. VIBE Plastic Surgery will be the clinic that understands that boundary best. :)
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
VIBE that comes from rich experience.
