What to Expect after Rhinoplasty


Nose Surgery? No Problem!

You probably have a lot of questions about undergoing the knife, right? How bad will the bruising be? Will there be a lot of pain? How swollen will I be? Can I breathe? 

The truth is, the overall process is a lot faster than you may expect. First of all, in most cases, the surgery time will be about an hour and a half to two hours - of course this varies. After waking up from surgery, you will feel a mixture of from just being completely out of it to feeling like you're in a dream. Coming off anesthesia is like waking up from a drunken dream, almost. After a good ten minutes or so, you may start going from dream-state to feeling a bit uneasy or in a daze. For the next 30-45 minutes, you will be in the recovery room trying to snap out of it. During this time, you may feel nauseous and disoriented. You will not be allowed to drink water for up to three hours to ensure that the anesthesia is out of your system enough. This is to ensure you don't vomit from nausea, which actually isn't so common -- but vomiting right after surgery can cause unnecessary exerted pressure to your face, which should, by all means, be avoided.

After that first hour in the recovery room, you will be free to go home, or at least back to your hotel, and rest for the rest of the day. We recommend taking it easy the first two days, but actually it is quite common for most people to resume their normal daily activity  (minus intense exercise, alcohol, and such) from the second day. Usually this is when our restless patients will go shopping or touring around Korea.

The patient is required to wear a nose cast for up to 7 days following the surgery date. The patient will, in the meantime, visit the hospital on the 3rd or 4th day post-op to undergo a thorough cleaning and inspection by our medical team. When the 7th day comes, both the stitches and cast will be removed.

As you can see to the left, our patient has just removed her cast! The bruising isn't so bad, after all, right?
