Rhinoplasty recovery period FAQ - Wannabe Plastic Surgery Korea

"How long should I stay in Korea for rhinoplasty?"


The first thing we question about rhinoplasty should be the swelling and its recovery time.
Dr. Jung Su Chan from Wannabe Plastic Surgery has an answer to clear these doubts!


How long is the recovery period after nose surgery?


Recovery period may take about a week after surgery, but there may be individual differences in degree of swelling and its duration. Usually, post operative treatments are done once or twice after surgery, and splint, stitches, or tapes are removed in a week. As the stitches inside the nose are dissolvable, they can be either removed in 2 weeks or just let it be dissolved. Washing your face or putting on make ups is available after a week, so do light exercises or taking a walk may be done. It takes about a month for the nose to be in shape, and it takes about 3~4 months for the minor swelling to fade away. Hence if you are planning to fly abroad for the surgery, you will need to consider to at least staying for a week. Also, if you are taking any medications, you need to discuss with your doctor if it won’t be affecting anything to the surgery. If it does, then it must be stopped for 2~3 weeks before surgery.



Below are different cases of rhinoplasty



Previously, only surgeries that were to sharpen a nose bridge have been carried out by implanting an L-shaped silicon. This caused several problems as the silicon directly pressured the skin of the nose and it could be seen through the skin or reddened the nose. However, at Wannabe Plastic Surgery, we taylor the height of the nose bridge with artificial implants(silicon, goretex, goresili) or autologous implants while erecting the end of the nose with the use of autologous implant and make the line from the middle of the forehead to the nose natural, smooth and clear-cut.




Generally, if short tip nose is not severe, it can be improved by simple dorsum nasi + nasal tip plastic surgery. However, in severe cases, lengthening nose plastic surgery should be carried out by broadly separating and realigning the skin and cartilages and supplementing the lacking cartilages.






By severing the over developed cartilage of nasal septum, we can realign the nose bridge cartilage to upper part and shorten the whole length of the nose. If the cartilage of nasal septum that pulls the tip of the nose downward had over developed, we prevent the recurrence by eliminating this muscle.






We approach through inner space of nostrils and separate the broad dorsum nasi from floor of the nose and collect them more narrowly. This method does not separate everything so there is no possibility of collapse of dorsum nasi or nasal congestion. According to different cases, we accompany ala nasi reduction and nasal tip plastic surgery, so we can create a refined and agile-looking nose as a whole.






Exact cause analysis and adequate surgery planning before the surgery is very important. We take a method of severing nose bone to relocate to an adequate place and separating all bent nasal cartilages to realign and recombine them on the center line symmetrically. If there is a symptom of nasal congestion, we perform nasal septum plastic surgery and accompany dorsum nasi, ala nasi plastic surgery for the most ideal nose shape.



 After severing floor of ala nasi, we remove the extra skin of ala nasi and stitch up its remaining tissue to reduce its width. The level of incision is decided according to the size of nostrils, width of nose, thickness of skin. The incision line is located between ala nasi and cheeks, so it is inconspicuous.





1.  As we use self cartilage without other implants, the nose looks very natural and soft. 
2.  It changes the fundamental structure of the nose pillar, so you can raise the nasal tip as much as      you want no matter how low it would be. 
3.  We can freely decide on the height, angle, and shape of the nasal tip of aquilin nose, short tip nose,      long tip nose, bulbous nose and etc.
4.  We can freely form a shape (half padded socks shape, straight line shape), controlling the angle and      height of nasal tip according to the shape and height of its nose bridge.
