Primary and Revision Rhinoplasty in Gangnam, Seoul

Primary or Revision Surgery: What to Discuss

Describe the changes you want to discuss in the bridge, tip or nostrils, and mention any breathing concerns. Bring a list of medicines, allergies and previous nasal injuries or treatments. Reference photographs can help explain preferences but cannot determine suitability or guarantee a result.

If you have had nose surgery before, bring available operation records and implant or graft information. Ask how scar tissue, existing support and previous changes may affect the options and limitations. A remote inquiry cannot replace an in-person examination or informed consent.

Implant and Cartilage Questions Before Consent

Ask whether the proposed plan needs an implant, cartilage graft or neither, and why. If material is recommended, request an explanation of its purpose, source, alternatives and relevant risks. Material selection should follow individual assessment rather than a preferred photograph or product name.

If a cartilage graft is proposed, ask where it would come from and whether a separate collection site would require care. Confirm which options the clinic actually offers; this guide does not establish the availability of a particular implant, donor cartilage or rib-cartilage technique.

Rhinoplasty Costs, Follow-Up and Return Travel

Request a written quote for the proposed plan and ask whether anaesthesia, tests, materials, medicines and follow-up are included or billed separately. Revision planning may differ from a first operation. Final treatment and pricing require direct assessment; an online estimate is not a confirmed surgical plan.

Discuss swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry and possible breathing changes before consent. Results and recovery timing cannot be guaranteed. Confirm follow-up and return-travel advice before booking, follow written aftercare, and seek prompt medical assessment for unexpected or worsening symptoms.

Limitations, risks and aftercare

No rhinoplasty result can be guaranteed. Possible risks can include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation, breathing-related concerns, anaesthesia-related complications or the need for further treatment.

Swelling, bruising and discomfort can occur during early healing. Follow written instructions, attend recommended reviews and contact the clinic promptly about unexpected or worsening symptoms.
