Q.
Does Dr. Hwang specialize in Asian rhinoplasty?
+
Dr. Sungoh Hwang has a special interest in structural Asian rhinoplasty. His rhinoplasty planning focuses on nasal skin thickness, cartilage support, tip definition, soft tissue management, and long-term structural stability. Each surgical plan is individualized according to the patient’s nasal anatomy and overall facial balance.
Q.
What is bulbous nose correction?
+
Bulbous nose correction is considered when the nasal tip appears round, wide, or poorly defined, often due to thick skin, soft tissue volume, or weak cartilage support. Rather than simply making the tip smaller, Dr. Hwang evaluates the cartilage structure, skin thickness, soft tissue condition, and tip support to create an individualized surgical plan.
Q.
What is non-implant rhinoplasty?
+
Non-implant rhinoplasty is a rhinoplasty approach that improves the shape of the nose without using a silicone implant. Depending on the patient’s nasal condition and surgical goals, autologous tissues such as septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or rib cartilage may be used.
Q.
When is autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty considered?
+
Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty may be considered in revision rhinoplasty, cases with weak nasal support, insufficient septal or ear cartilage, or when a stable structural framework is required. It is especially useful in complex structural rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty.
Q.
Why does revision rhinoplasty require a more detailed evaluation?
+
Revision rhinoplasty requires careful evaluation of scar tissue, cartilage deformation, implant condition, skin thickness, soft tissue changes, and the remaining nasal framework. A successful revision plan should consider both nasal shape and structural stability.
Q.
What does Dr. Hwang evaluate during a rhinoplasty consultation?
+
During a rhinoplasty consultation, Dr. Hwang evaluates nasal height, nasal line, skin thickness, cartilage structure, tip support, septal condition, and overall facial balance. Based on these findings, he plans the most appropriate approach, such as Asian rhinoplasty, bulbous nose correction, tip plasty, non-implant rhinoplasty, autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, or revision rhinoplasty.
Q.
Does Dr. Hwang have international academic experience?
