Before deciding to undergo nose surgery in South Korea in 2026, I did a great deal of research. In the end, I chose MOMO HAIR TRANSPLANT Plastic Surgery. This article shares my real experiences and provides detailed information on the costs, hoping to be of some help to those considering nose surgery in South Korea.

Why choose MOMO HAIR TRANSPLANT Plastic Surgery? 3 main reasons

Among the numerous plastic surgery hospitals in South Korea, I ultimately chose MOMO HAIR TRANSPLANT for three main reasons:

• MOMO HAIR TRANSPLANT has extensive experience in male plastic surgery: Its specialized team for male patients understands perfectly what men desire in terms of a “natural look”.
• The results are no exaggeration: unlike some hospitals that promote overly dramatic changes, we respect the natural features of your face.
• Comprehensive Chinese services: There are Chinese consultants available, so you can communicate easily even if you don’t speak Korean.

A comprehensive record of rhinoplasty for men: from consultation to recovery

Preoperative consultation: A detailed remote consultation is sufficient.

Due to work commitments, I didn’t have the time to fly to South Korea for a in-person consultation, so I opted for remote video consultations first. After reviewing my photos, the doctor provided me with many professional suggestions.

• The height of the nose should complement the shape of the face and not be too exaggerated.
• The tip of the nose should retain some fleshiness to avoid appearing too feminine.
• It is recommended to use rib cartilage, as it provides better support.

On the day of the surgery: It was much easier than I had imagined.

Many people ask, “Does rhinoplasty hurt?” My answer is: The procedure itself is completely painless because general anesthesia is used. After the anesthesia wears off, there may be some swelling and discomfort, but the hospital will provide painkillers, so it’s still manageable.

Recovery period: It takes approximately 7 days to be able to appear in public again.

This is probably the question that men care most about: “How soon can I return to work?”

My experience:

1. Days 1-3: The swelling is at its most severe; it is recommended to stay in the hotel during this period.
2. Days 4 to 7: The swelling has reduced by half; you can wear glasses to cover it up.
3. Day 7: After the stitches are removed, it will be almost impossible to notice any traces, so you can return to Taiwan at this point.
4. One month later: The swelling had almost completely disappeared, and the results became increasingly natural.

8 Most Important Questions (FAQs) Regarding Rhinoplasty in South Korea

Q1: Will the results be very noticeable? Will others be able to see them?

It all depends on the communication between you and the doctor. I emphasized the importance of a “natural” result, and the doctor respected my wishes. Now, my friends all say I look better, but no one can tell that any procedures were done – and that’s exactly the effect I wanted to achieve.

Q2: How much does rhinoplasty at MOMO HAIR TRANSPLANT cost?

Reference prices for 2026 (in Korean won):

• Comprehensive rhinoplasty surgery: ¥98 million to ¥91.5 million (depending on the materials used)
• Rib cartilage rhinoplasty: 91 to 92 million yuan
• Package price (including accommodation and translation services): Please inquire with a consultant.

Q3: Is it possible to work in this industry without knowing Korean?

No problem at all! MOMO HAIR TRANSPLANT provides Chinese-speaking consultants who will assist you throughout the entire process, from making an appointment to follow-up care after the surgery. I communicated in Chinese throughout the entire process, and it went very smoothly.

Q4: Is anesthesia safe?

Anesthesiologists in South Korea are all specialized physicians who will first conduct a thorough physical examination. Before my surgery, I underwent blood tests, an electrocardiogram, and other examinations to ensure that there were no issues before the procedure was scheduled. Overall, the process is very safe, so there is no need to worry too much.

Q5: How soon can I start exercising again?

Doctors recommend:

• Within 2 weeks: Avoid strenuous exercise.
• One month later: Normal physical activities can be resumed.
• After 3 months: Only then can you engage in contact sports such as basketball or boxing.

Q6: Is the probability of postoperative complications high?

Any surgery carries certain risks, but rhinoplasty is considered a relatively mature procedure. As long as you choose a reputable hospital and a specialist surgeon, and strictly follow the postoperative instructions, the likelihood of complications is very low.

Q7: How long do I need to stay in South Korea?

It is recommended to schedule a period of 7 to 10 days:

• Day 1: Arrival and rest
• Day 1: Preoperative examinations and consultations
• 1 day: Surgery and observation period
• 4–7 days: Recovery and suture removal
• 1 day: Return to Taiwan
