Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Involves an incision across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils). Provides greater access to the nasal structure for significant reshaping.

Involves incisions inside the nostrils. Results in no visible scarring and a quicker recovery.

Some patients with flatter noses and wider nostrils may choose augmentation rather than reduction. This procedure involves raising the nasal bridge using synthetic materials or the patient's own bone and cartilage, harvested from areas like the ear, skull, or rib. Precise shaping ensures the desired result. For wide nostrils, removing tissue wedges can help reduce their width. Additionally, for East Asian noses, surgery on the upper eyelid, particularly to address webbing at the inner corner, may be necessary.

Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.

For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.

Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.

Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.
