NANA Plastic Surgery, located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, has established the Rhinoplasty Research Institute, an affiliated body dedicated to nose surgery, and has begun full-scale precision research and standardization work aimed at addressing the complex nasal structures and functional concerns specific to Asian patients.

The Rhinoplasty Research Institute is headed by Dr. Kim Il-hwan, Dr. Kwon Byeong  Yun, and Dr. Cho Jin Tae. According to the clinic, its work centers on refining and standardizing rhinoplasty techniques on the basis of functional stability and clinical evidence, rather than aesthetic outcomes alone.

The Institute focuses in particular on surgical methods optimized for characteristics common among Asian patients, including a low nasal bridge, thicker skin, and complex anatomical structure, along with systematic research into the prevention of complications. Through monthly academic research sessions and case studies, it continues to build a more precise and safer surgical system, reinforcing NANA's position as a leading institution in the rhinoplasty field.

One of the core techniques under study is Angel Nose, NANA Plastic Surgery's signature rhinoplasty method. Angel Nose is a closed rhinoplasty procedure that uses autologous cartilage together with an autologous blood-derived adhesive. Working through a small incision inside the nose, it produces a natural line without visible scarring, with a short recovery period and a low likelihood of complications. The perichondrium is harvested along with the cartilage to minimize resorption. The technique has drawn especially high satisfaction from patients who were not content with previous filler or silicone implant procedures, as well as those seeking a natural result. Angel Nose also includes a customized design consultation based on CT imaging and nasal type analysis, so that the plan is optimized to each patient's facial proportions and nasal structure. Otolaryngology and anesthesiology specialists are on site as part of a collaborative care system, and procedures are performed directly by board-certified plastic surgeons, further raising the level of safety.

Dr. Kim Yoon Ho of NANA Plastic Surgery stated that "The establishment of the Rhinoplasty Research Institute allows the clinic to further strengthen the scientific evidence and safety behind its rhinoplasty work." He added that "the clinic will continue refining Angel Nose and its other rhinoplasty techniques in order to provide patients with trust and satisfaction."

Detailed consultation is available through NANA Plastic Surgery's official website and its WhatsApp consultation channel.
