rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is generally used to improve a round nose, such as a "dumpling nose".

This surgery can be performed by lifting the nasal apex using artificial cartilage, reducing the cartilage within the nose (nasal wing cartilage), or removing excess fat.

Treatment Time	About 1~2 hours
anesthesia	local anesthesia
Swelling and pain	Although there are individual differences, swelling and internal bleeding may occur after the surgery, but most of them will settle down within 1 to 2 weeks.
Passing goods and hospitalization	Day treatment
cicatrix	The scar is located inside the nostrils and is not visible from the outside.
precautions	Do not touch the affected area more than necessary. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and facial massage.
Makeup, face wash, etc.	Showering without getting the affected area wet is allowed on the same day. Facial washing and makeup can be done from the day after stitches are removed.
everyday life	It takes about a week of downtime, but this varies from person to person.

 

While rhinoplasty is an effective procedure for many patients seeking to improve their appearance, the procedure always comes with certain risks and side effects. Specifically, swelling, pain, and internal bleeding may occur after rhinoplasty. Most patients can expect these symptoms to subside within one to two weeks, but they may last longer depending on the individual.

The risk of infection at the surgical site also exists. This can occur if postoperative care is inadequate or if the patient does not comply with the physician's instructions. To prevent infection, it is important to follow postoperative instructions, keep the area clean, and take antibiotics as needed.

Dissatisfaction with the surgical results may also arise. This is the case when expected results are not achieved or when asymmetric results are obtained. To avoid this, it is important to communicate thoroughly with the physician prior to surgery and discuss in detail the expected results.
