FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Must a dorsal hump always be shaved down?
If the symptom is not severe, simply smoothing the protruding part is sufficient. The surgical method varies depending on the severity. Sometimes, a procedure to fill in other tissues is performed.
To what extent can a deviated nose be corrected?
If the deviation is not severe, it can be corrected by smoothing and inserting an implant. In severe cases, an osteotomy can be performed to straighten the central axis, and a septoplasty can be added.
Are there various causes for a bulbous nose?
Causes vary, such as large alar cartilages, widely spread cartilages, or thick subcutaneous fat, so a surgical method suitable for the cause must be selected.
Do I need to get the inside of my nose diagnosed as well?
The functional aspect of the nose is also important, so it is crucial to diagnose the internal condition of the nose together to select the appropriate surgical method.
How long is the recovery period?
Major swelling subsides in about 1-2 weeks, and a return to daily life is possible after 3-7 days. Natural results settle in at about 3-6 months.
