Korean Style Rhinoplasty

Korean Style Rhinoplasty

Surgery Features

1.It can correct defects in different areas, such as “back of nose”, “nasal bone”, and “ala” and sculpt the parts, paying attention to every detail.

2.It clearly shows the surgical site and the location where rhinoplasty material is implanted.

Surgical Approach

The so-called “Korean Style Rhinoplasty” refers to a type of rhinoplasty (open-type outside nasal septum). The procedure involves making an incision from inside the nasal cavity or nasal septet to spare some space in the nose bridge skin and between the nasals bone and nasal cartilage. Then solid silicone, skull, ribs, ear cartilage, septal cartilage, or systemic materials are placed to sculpture the nose. The wound traverses the nasal septum from the inner sides of both nostrils.

 

Choose an artificial nasal bone with a suitable arc, height, and length.

Precautions

1.There is a recovery period. The swelling is more obvious in the first two to three days, and the swelling will reduce from day 7 to day 14. It takes about 1-3 months to have a more natural look.
 
2.To prevent rejection or infections, refrain from staying up late and smoking.
 
3.There will be a small scar below the nasal septum.
 
4. Please follow the surgeon’s instructions for medication and wound care.
 
5.Paste 3M tape for fixation after surgery to help sculpture the nose and apply pressure on the nose to reduce swelling.
 
6.There may be nose swelling after surgery. Some people may experience bruises due to the outflow of flood and tissue fluid to the cheeks and below the eyes. Hence, nose swelling is most obvious on the second day. It is recommended that continuous cold press be applied for 5-7 days.
 
7.Refrain from drinking for one month after surgery (including sesame chicken and medicinal chicken) to avoid nose reddening and even nose inflammation.
 
8.Refrain from smoking after surgery to reduce chances of wound infections and facilitate nose wound and scar recovery.
 
9.Nose swelling after surgery is normal. Please continue applying cold press. In case of redness, swelling, heat, pain, secretions, or continuous bleeding, return to the clinic for further assessment by the surgeon.
 
10.Do not sleep on the stomach within one week after surgery to avoid pressuring the nose. In addition, do not wear glasses to avoid pressuring the radix.
 
11.Do not clean white heads (use tweezers to pull them instead of squeezing them), pinch, or rub the nose or engage in strenuous exercise (such as playing basketball) until on month after the nose has been molded.
 

12.Those experiencing infections, rejection, or special physical constitution (delayed inflammation), a rest for 3-6 months (preferably six months as it is the surgical wound scar stability period) is recommended before undergoing surgery again. Use anti-inflammatory drug therapy and apply cold press within one week after surgery. Disinfect the wound site daily using Betadine one to two weeks after surgery and apply ointment.
 

13.Possible complications arising from rhinoplasty may include: hematoma, infections, rejection, crooked nose mode, shaky nasal membrane, and so on. As for whether or not the nasal membrane is too high or too low, whether or not the ala is tall enough, and whether or not the nose is too long or too short, it is recommended that periodic re-visits be made for 6-month observation before deciding to undergo surgery again.

Q&A

Ｑ：Will ear cartilage removal affect the appearance?

Ａ：As ear cartilages are usually taken from the back of the ears, wounds are healed after one week and the ears will look completely normal.
