Rib cartilage rhinoplasty information

[EveRose]

I am looking for some information on the specifics of a rib cartilage rhinoplasty operation. One that would extend the nose and make it appear more uniform.

I want to know the costs, surgery time, recovery time, etc. in averages for Korea clinics. I am doing a comparison of local clinics for a friend. Any help would be great!

Anywhere from $5,000 to just under $20,000 from my understanding. It really depends on the extend of the work needed done. As for recovery, you are looking at a minimum of a 2 week stay in Korea. I would plan for 3 or 4 weeks though if you need a more complex surgery.

Recovery time outside of post-surgery stuff will be 4 to 6 weeks for the resting period (no strenuous activities or exercise) and then 6 months to a year on average for full recovery. Some take a bit over a year.
