Even though revision surgery is more difficult than the first surgery, swelling and bruising will disappear in about 2 weeks.

It is difficult to estimate the original height of the nose bridge after having nose filler. We recommend you to undergo Rhinoplasty after the filler is completely absorbed.

In the early stage of recovery after Rhinoplasty, the distance between eyes looks narrower due to swelling and skin pulling, but this phenomenon will return to its original position within 1 or 2 months. If the space between your eyes is short, the height of your nose bridge should be balanced out to give you proper proportion between your eyes.

A person with a hooked nose usually has a high nose bridge. If the person does not want to have a higher nose bridge, the surgery can be performed without the insertion of an implant.

Many patients who have rhinitis or sinusitis worry about worsening of symptoms. We check the patient’s condition by using 3D CT scan before surgery. By conducting thorough examination before surgery, we can fix your nose function along with your nose shape.
