Frequently Asked Questions
When should Vibe rhinoplasty be considered?
Vibe rhinoplasty can be considered for a bumpy dorsal hump or when the nostrils are overly exposed. In this case, it was performed to address the issues of a bumpy bridge and nostril exposure that were not resolved even after filler injections.
How is dorsal hump correction performed?
Dorsal hump correction involves refining the hump during bridge augmentation and using silicone implants to create a smooth dorsal line. This can improve a bumpy nasal bridge.
Is rhinoplasty possible even if the nostrils are very visible?
Yes, it is possible. If the nostrils are very visible, it can be improved through alar base reduction. In this case, alar base reduction was performed along with bulbous tip correction during tip rhinoplasty to create a natural-looking nose tip.
What changes can be expected after Vibe rhinoplasty?
After Vibe rhinoplasty, you can expect a natural yet prominent nose tip and a smoothly refined nasal bridge. In this case, the patient was highly satisfied as nostril exposure was reduced and the dorsal hump was improved.
What are the possible side effects of rhinoplasty?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur during rhinoplasty. These side effects may vary depending on the individual, so caution is required.
Where is Vibe Plastic Surgery located?
Vibe Plastic Surgery is located on the 8th floor of Urbanhive, 476 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It is important to receive consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon.
