Plastic Surgery

The nose is said to be the first thing a person looks at when talking to you since it is in the middle of the face. Different impressions on a person’s nose can be thought of by the person whom he is talking to. Opinions like, “wow, he has a peculiar nose” or “his nose is too big for his face” or “why is his nose that flat?” Harsh comments it may seem, but I know most of us have thought that about another person’s nose.

If you always get those comments, then male rhinoplasty is heaven-sent for you. Those days of harsh criticism may come to an end and instead become “Wow, your nose is so perfect.” Contrary to popular belief, rhinoplasty is not only prevalent in women but has evolved to be popular with men as well, especially in South Korea. So, do you think you are a male in need of rhinoplasty?

Or are you just curious about the procedure since its most common in females? Read through and know more details about this procedure.

Male rhinoplasty has risen in popularity and is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures done on men, especially in Korea. This procedure is mostly done to straighten the bridge of the nose.

A straight nasal bridge and a fuller mid-nose width display masculinity and are known to be the perfect male nose. The surgery can be for cosmetic purposes, like correcting a crooked nose, or enhancing the shape of a man’s nose to match it with his face and masculinity. It can also be for medical purposes, like correcting the nose to improve breathing, or to fix the damage caused by an injury.

You may think that since this is rhinoplasty, the same procedure is followed regardless of if the patient is male or female. Yes, it is the same procedure, but the doctor may tweak some techniques and methods. Males’ and females’ noses still differ in two factors, namely, the aesthetic side and the anatomical side.

• The anatomy; each gender’s noses are anatomically different from each other. Men’s noses are more prominent with a straight bridge, a wider width, and thick skin. On the other hand, a female’s nose is much more defined and curved.
• The aesthetic difference; especially in the result, after getting a nose job, is for males to have a straight nose bridge with a less rotated tip since this shows power and masculinity. While for females, they choose to have a much more petite nose with the tip turned upwards.

Male rhinoplasty may be costly, just like any other plastic surgery, but its benefits pay for its price. The benefits of rhinoplasty in both male and female include:

• Increase in confidence
• Removal of bumps and dips
• Restoration of face and nose symmetry
• Gives nasal tip an improved appearance
• Makes both nostrils symmetrical
• Improvement in breathing
• Correction of congenital disabilities

Not all males may require rhinoplasty because some already have that perfect male nose, and some are not in good medical condition to undergo surgery. To be specific, males who can have a rhinoplasty procedure are as follows:

• Males who have a deformed nose because of injury from an accident
• Males with an inherently crooked nose
• Males who have an undeveloped nose
• Males with bent and stuffy noses because of nasal problems
• Males with large nostrils
• Males with weak noses
• Males who have a feminine like nose
• Males who underwent rhinoplasty but are not happy with the outcome
• Males with a flat or wide nose bridge

A male nose job, just like any plastic surgery, is customized depending on the patient’s requirements. The process starts with the doctor designing the outcome for the patient to see how the results will look and also approve it if it is to their liking. Then, the doctor makes a cut that will separate the nose bridge and periosteum to allow him to insert the implant.

Once the surgeon finishes cutting, he inserts the prosthesis, which is shaped based on the patient’s goal, between the periosteum and the nose bridge. For the tip of the nose, cartilage is to be extracted and implanted on the nose tip.

To give you an idea of how male rhinoplasty looks after the procedure, here is a picture of two males before and after a male nose job.

Throughout the procedure, the surgeon’s team will follow the specifics of the surgery for 1.5-3.5 hours. It required that you stay in the clinic for 2-3 hours before you can resume your daily errands. The operation would not be possible without administering anesthesia; in this case, local anesthesia with sedation is used throughout the procedure.

After the surgery, your nose may not look normal until 2-3 weeks later. In this time, you should see that it has mostly healed and that the swelling and redness have dramatically decreased, if not disappeared altogether. Give it 6-9 months, and your nose should entirely be the way you envisioned it. Everything should have healed and be in the proper place

Rhinoplasty’s result, in general, is considered to be semi-permanent. Although, after the surgery, the patient should observe the much-needed care since it is a surgery, and swelling and bruising will still heal for a couple of weeks. A male who underwent rhinoplasty should strictly follow the instructions below:

• Do not blow your nose if you are not yet on the 3-week mark
• Avoid smoking and drinking four weeks after the surgery
• Never touch the scar or tear the scab
• Eat a lot of healthy food like fruits and vegetables to help quicken the healing process
• Avoid strenuous acitivities for the mean time
• Avoid laughing and smiling too much
• Wear buttoned clothes instead of the ones you have to pull over your head

Nowadays, plastic surgery is not only prominent with females, but it has evolved to be part of a male’s goal in physical beautification, specifically, male nose jobs. Even though it is a procedure for the beautification of the nose, male and female rhinoplasty procedures are still considered different anatomically and aesthetically.

Just like female rhinoplasty, candidates for this surgery are those with an uneven nose shape, crooked nose, and a flat nose bridge, to name a few. As expected, Korea is still the best place to get a nose job even for males, expertise and cost-wise.

What is good about this procedure is that it only requires a couple of hours to complete and takes only several weeks to recover. Before and after photos can attest to the guaranteed effectiveness of the surgery, as well as the expertise of the surgeons in South Korea.

Procedures like this may be expensive, but we should always take into account that nothing is too costly as long as the pros, which are the benefits of the male rhinoplasty, outweigh the cons. Given this, if you are a male who has long been awaiting to get rhinoplasty, now is the time to get a consultation with the best clinics in South Korea. You are just one click away from getting that nose you have always desired.

Often when looking at the overall appearance of someone, the legs are a large consideration of whether we will find someone’s appearance appealing or not. In particular the calves can play a large role in this.

If calves are too thick or too bulky you might feel that your legs look stumpy, or that they seemed unbalanced with the rest of your body.

It is very difficult to change the appearance of this body part as fat targeting when working out we already know is impossible, and if you build muscle this does not always guarantee a slimmer leg line.

Often we may find we may even have too much muscle accumulated in one area. In this case you may consider reducing the size of your calves through calf reduction procedures.

There are a few methods used to address enlarged calves and to reduce the size of them. A main factor surgeons will consider will be if you are looking for permanent results or temporary. For non-surgical options you can consider Botox or toxin injections.

This treatment is simple, as it only requires a handful of injections into the calf muscle to essentially “freeze” the muscle. When the muscle does not move, it will naturally shrink over time. This treatment is not permanent as your body will naturally flush out the Botox over a couple months’ time, so you will have to continue getting the treatment in order to maintain results. This is beneficial if you are unsure about committing to a procedure and would like to see what possible results will look like beforehand. Here is a quick example of how quick and easy this treatment is.

This treatment falls more along the lines of semi-permanent. It will cause the current nerves and muscle fibers to stop functioning, and therefore will shrink them, but as your body naturally heals itself it may build some muscle again. More than one session would give best results for this treatment. It addresses hypertrophy of the muscle, therefore over time as the muscle atrophies you should see a reduction in calf size.

For plastic surgery treatments there are three main tactics the surgeon will use. The results these treatments will offer will be permanent and are therefore good options if you are looking to change the appearance of your calves permanently.

This is a calf fat reduction surgery. It is considered the better route of treatment for a fatty calf as it effectively removes the excess fat. This procedure is not generally helpful for a leg that has excessive muscle, as muscle cannot be liposuctioned.

In situations when there is excess fat as well as excess muscle the surgeon will mostly recommend combining both treatments to achieve the best possible results.

This is mostly for excessively muscular calves. It is a calf muscle reduction surgery. The primary muscle that will show signs of shapely calves, or very bulky calves, will be the medial gastrocnemius muscle.

You can locate this muscle by standing on your toes. Your calf muscles should pop out, and if you are concerned about an oversized calf it should easily stand out. This procedure will include muscle removal, though usually only partial muscle removal, to still maintain a natural appearance of the calves.

If will take longer to recover and you should consider that your strength may decrease slightly in your legs after this procedure.

Another way to reduce the calf is by cutting the nerves behind the knee. This reduces the overall size of the muscle by cutting the nerve, therefore not supplying stimulation to the muscle and causing it to atrophy over time.

Since the muscle is essentially never used again, it will shrink. Though unlikely, this procedure runs the risk of cutting other nerves nearby and this is why it is crucial to make sure your plastic surgeons are board certified to complete these surgical procedures.

You can expect to see an average reduction in the size of the calves of 3-7 cm. The results will vary per treatment option and individual patient. Following directions from your doctor will be most important in achieving the best results possible.

This varies on if you are opting for surgical or non-surgical treatments. For surgical most of bruising and swelling should decrease within the first 2-4 weeks. For liposuction in particular, compression garments should be worn to aid the body in creating the desired shape you want.

For more invasive treatments such as cutting the muscle or the nerve it is recommended to try to stay off your feet for about a week.

Full results should start to show 6 months, up to one year after the procedure. For non-surgical treatments, results should be seen within the first month and can last up to about 6 months. For continued improvement or to maintain results they will need to be repeated every couple of months usually.

The cost of this procedure will vary depending once again on how permanent the results are. For the more invasive treatments, prices in South Korea will range between $2000-$5000, while non-invasive procedures should fall around $800. This is still competitive pricing as in the United States for example, the average price ranges around $7300 for invasive procedures, and the non-invasive treatments ranged upwards of $1000.

If you are interested in what results may look like for any of the mentioned procedures here are a few examples. Results will vary between individuals.

There are times we feel insecure about your face especially its shape in the jaw area. Some faces are too round, some too angular, others too long, and a few uneven ones.

Don’t we all dream of having the perfect shaped face with a smooth facial line? This is particularly difficult to achieve since face shapes are mostly defined by the jaw bone and bone shapes cannot be remedied by using skincare and other natural methods. If you often find yourself being insecure of your face shape especially your jaw line, then jaw surgery might be for you.

There are two types of jaw surgery that are common in fixing abnormalities of the jaw bone. These procedures are done when the problem is with the bone structure of the face and cannot be fixed by fillers and Botox. Jaw surgery is considered as a major surgery and even a high level one because the surgeon works near the nerve system that can be found in the neck area

The double jaw surgery or also known as the two-jaw surgery or bi-maxillary osteotomy. This type of jaw surgery is a form of corrective surgery which involves both the upper and lower jaw.

This is for the purpose of correcting the jaw aesthetically and functionally through reshaping, resizing, and repositioning to the normal form. Individuals who are qualified for this procedure are those with protruding mouth, deformities of the jaw, asymmetric face and those that have abnormal bites that braces cannot correct.

This type of jaw surgery is considered to be a facial contouring procedure which is  done in order to smoothen the patient’s jaw line. It involves the trimming of some parts of the jaw bone in order to achieve the smooth and slim jawline that can make a person look younger.

People who usually receive this surgery are those with uneven face shape and those with square jaws.

Before you have the procedure, the surgeon will be doing some assessment and tests which will help him determine which type of jaw surgery that applies to your case.

The surgeon will decide which of the two procedures will be used. Before the start of either procedure, general anesthesia will be administered to put the patient to sleep;

• Double jaw surgery procedure

Double jaw surgery involves intra oral incision but in some cases can also require dermal incision. The surgery involves LeFort I Osteotomy which is the procedure that is used in the cutting of upper jaw bones and vertical osteotomy for lower jaw bones;

1. 1. Open bite; the surgeon removes a part of the bone in the upper jaw and moves it to the proper position. Once the bones are aligned, plates and screws are used to secure the bone in place.
   2. Mandibular setback; the tooth bare part at the back of the lower jaw is removed and the lower jaw bone is moved back in order for it to be in proper alignment. Screws and plates are then inserted to keep the bone in place.
   3. Mandibular advancement; the tooth bare part of the lower jaw is cut and the rest of the lower jaw bone is moved forward until it reaches the proper alignment. Then screws and plates are put in place to secure the bones in the proper place.

• Jaw reduction surgery Procedure

1. 1. The surgeon first assesses the bone structure and design the outcome of the procedure
   2. The jaw bone at the back of the ear until the front jaw bone is cut
   3. The bone is removed and if necessary resection is done
   4. The skin and muscles are pulled to prevent sagging
   5. The jaw area is sutured and bandaged for recovery

 Recovery time for the jaw surgery depends on which surgery the patient has undergone. General anesthesia is commonly used before the treatment. The duration of the surgery depends on the type of jaw surgery done, but can range from 2-4 hours.

Some patients may be required to stay in the hospital for at most 4 days for added treatment especially if the patient underwent the double jaw surgery. Bruise and swelling may last for weeks and will begin to look normal in 3-4 weeks’ time.

• Double jaw surgery before and after

This procedure shows noticeable changes and improvement on the jaw line and even the whole face. It also brings great improvement not only in appearance but also in the functionality of the jaw.

• Jaw reduction surgery before and after

Jaw reduction is the procedure done to those who have an angular jaw which is brought about by a genetically large jaw bone or a well-developed masseter muscle also known as the muscle used for chewing. If the bone is the reason for a wide jaw then this procedure is required. As you can see in the picture, the result of the surgery gives the face that famous Asian jawline.

Given the risk of jaw surgery, it is just obvious that these types of surgery will cost you a lot. However, if you have the surgery in South Korea, you will be able to save so much as compared to when you have it in the US. To give you an estimate, the average cost of contouring surgery in the US is around USD $6,500 while in South Korea it is a bit cheaper than that.

jaw surgery, with its two types, namely the double jaw surgery and the jaw reduction surgery are meant for individuals who have uneven face shape, deformities, angular face, and abnormal bites. The procedure may be painful and can take month and even a year to completely heal, but the benefits can reap beneficial results to the patient.

Jaw surgery can be beneficial in a lot of ways to those you have issues with their upper and lower jaw because through the surgery, the appearance is not only enhanced but the functionality of the jaw is fixed as well. This is quite important since the jaw’s uses are first and foremost for eating. Jaw surgery can also be of help in maintaining proper oral care for the reason that uneven jaw bites can result to dental problems.

The results of the jaw surgery display a clear and noticeable result in the before and after pictures thus, proving that no matter how complicated, risky, and painful the operation may be, it still delivers the required results.

With regards to the cost of the procedure, results are still guaranteed to be delivered exactly the way the patient expected it to be even though the surgery costs much less when performed in South Korea as compared to the prices in the US.

Are you Planing to Get Your Jaw Reduction Surgery in Korea

As they say, the eyes are the window to the soul. Our eyes are how we convey ourselves and how we feel emotionally and even physically. There are some instances that the eyes that we are born with looks unsatisfactory for us. Some of us may often look tired because of our drooping eyes and others may also look like the antagonist because of the high structure of the eyelids.

These are some of the reasons why eyelid surgery is being done, but not all surgeries go as planned requiring the person to have a revision double eyelid surgery. If you are one that needs the revision surgery or if you are just curious about this procedure, read through this article.

Revision double eyelid surgery also known as Blepharoplasty correction or eyelid revision surgery is for the correction of a previous eyelid surgery that was done around the eye area for aesthetic purposes.

Not all patients who have had the double eyelid surgery are required to have the revision surgery. The revision double eyelid surgery is to be decided by the surgeon and will only be approved if the patient has the following:

• A double eyelid asymmetry
• Exceedingly deep, high, or unnatural double eyelid folds
• Unsmooth double eyelid folds or irregular skin wrinkles
• Eye shape or eyelid proportion is not pleasing to the patient
• Prolonged eyelid edema that does not disappear
• Unexpected dysfunction in the opening and closing of the eyelid
• Idiopathic double eyelid asymmetry

Double eyelid surgery revision should practically be done 6 months after the first surgery since the wound from the procedure needs time to completely heal before it could be incised and sutured again. Even if this is the rule, there are times that a revision surgery may be needed before the six-month mark with the approval of the doctor.

This procedure done a week after the initial surgery. This is done when a problem on the area of the surgery was caused right after the procedure. The surgeon’s decision is vital for this revision since the wound is fresh and the stitches are still intact.

Mid level of revision surgery done between 1-6 months after the first surgery. This is normally done because of a problem with the non-incision method. The problem area during this stage can be fixed using the non-incision method as well.

This revision surgery happens after 6 months from the day of the first surgery. This is the safest time to do a revision surgery since the wound has been healed completely and the scar may be non-existent.

Blepharoplasty correction is not necessary when the situation does not require of it. Although this is a personal decision, the doctor’s approval is still recommended. There are several reasons why a revision double eyelid surgery is being done. Some of the reasons are:

1. Unhappy and not contented by the results of the first procedure
2. The scar from the first operation looks visible than anticipated
3. Difference in the appearance of the eyelid due to the natural process of aging
4. Results done by the first surgery has faded over time
5. Unsatisfactory results from the first surgery since the doctor did not consider other facial features

Initially, revision eyelid surgery is to be done after the six month period since it is at that time that the surgery has set and the results are more obvious. Revisions should only be done if there is obvious asymmetry, unsmooth eyelid folds, and struggle in opening and closing the eyes to name a few. Revision surgeries are also more complex not only because of the correction needed but also because of higher expectation from patients in achieving the right results this time.

The following are the cases that are mostly approved for revision double eyelid surgery:

The symmetry of the eyelids is the first and foremost factor patients look at in order to say that the surgery was a success. If the eyelids differ in 1 mm a revision is not needed. Otherwise, revision is performed.

This is another factor that patients look at when considering if the surgery was a success or not. If the eyelid folds are too high, the revision procedure should lower the incision line. On the other hand, if the folds are too low or natural looking for the patient, the height will be repositioned.

The cause of are variance in the eyelid design, unsmooth surgical incision, interference with the suture or scar. To solve this, the surgeon must use a fine suture and may need to remove the scarring before re-stitching again in order to create a smoother eyelid.

This muscle functions to raise the palpebrae to show the area of the eyeball that is covered by the eyelid. This is mostly seen in patients with ptosis or drooping eyelids, multi-layer folds, and low eyelids.

If not diagnosed during the first operation, the wrong surgery might be performed initially resulting in asymmetry of the eyelids. IN order to avoid this, sometimes the correction of the levator palpebrae muscle should also be performed together with the eyelid surgery.

Revision double eyelid surgery is more expensive than the first surgery, this is the reason why it is important to pick the best doctor to do the surgery the first time around. Having a revision surgery also means that the recovery time for the wound takes longer. However, getting a revision surgery is be required based on your situation, remember that it is much complex as when getting the first surgery.

Eyelid revision surgery takes 1-2.5 hours and twilight anesthesia is used before the start of the exact procedure. After the surgery, the patient is required to stay in the hospital for just 1.5-2 hours for observation and after surgery treatments. The healing period for the revised eyelid takes around 3-5 weeks to look normal and 6-12 months for it fully set to its desired appearance.

Revision belapharoplasty is not really required by the surgeon in some instances, but it is a personal decision that should be approved by a doctor beforehand. There are two types of eyelid revision surgery procedure:

Is used to revise an “under corrected” eyelid surgery. This type of surgery procedure is meant to get rid of excess skin and fats that was not removed during the first surgery. It is also referred to as ptosis or “drooping” eyelids.

This type of surgery is used to correct “overdone” eyelids. This is for cases where the too much skin and fat was removed making the eyelid look misshapen and unnatural. This is also called as ectropion.

Revision double eyelid surgery or eyelid revision surgery are mostly done for cosmetic purposes. Patients are only approved to have the revision if the results are too obviously undesirable since revision surgery is more complex and expensive than the initial surgery.

Candidates are only required to have the revision if they have asymmetry in the eyelids, if the eyelids are not smooth, and if the eyelids are too high or low from the result of the first surgery. The eyelid revision should also be done after six months in order to fully see the result of the first operation and know if the revision should be necessarily done.

Two types of procedures are being done during the revision and they are for “drooping” eyes or ptosis and the other type is for misshapen eyelids or ectropion. If you think you are one of those who need the revision double eyelid surgery, remember that the surgeon’s opinion matters because not all eyelid problems need to revised.

All in all, the procedure can regularly be performed after you have had a rhinoplasty procedure, or it can be performed in combination with your rhinoplasty procedure.

It is quite minimally invasive, and scarring should become invisible over time, if not already invisible from the beginning due to the later treatment option that can be done inside of the nose.

It is still recommended that for this specific procedure you wait until after your previous procedures have healed, as the final shape of the nose may not have the same problems it had beforehand.

If you are unsure about whether your nose is misshapen or if this procedure is right for you, you can easily have a consultation with your doctor asking about it and they will help you find the best treatment plan for you.

You can also do a quick self-check by picturing the imaginary line from the inside corner of the eyes down to the ends of the nose, and if the nose goes past this line – then the nose is technically too wide. Concerns of recovery should also be minimal as the procedure is simple and not painful for patients.

This procedure will allow the nose that you have always wanted to become a reality. It will have the ability to boost your self-esteem and confidence, particularly when you smile.

If this a problem you have been battling with for some time now, it may be the perfect time for you to consider this procedure. In South Korea you will receive the best price, particularly for the quality that will be given. If you are ready, contact us to begin your journey towards a happier you that can smile freely and comfortably.

If you have been concerned with the shape of your nose, particularly the width of overall nose and its nostrils, this procedure may have the answer to your concern. It can be stressful to have a nose that you feel throws your facial features off, or that just doesn’t sit right on your face.

For a better-quality life and satisfaction with your overall appearance, you may consider an alar reduction, or a nostril reduction, which will allow you to achieve the goal of a nose you are satisfied with. If you have quite big nostrils, that seem to grow even larger when you smile, this is how to get smaller nostrils.

If you have been concerned with the shape of your nose, particularly the width of overall nose and its nostrils, this procedure may have the answer to your concern. It can be stressful to have a nose that you feel throws your facial features off, or that just doesn’t sit right on your face.

For a better-quality life and satisfaction with your overall appearance, you may consider an alar reduction, or a nostril reduction, which will allow you to achieve the goal of a nose you are satisfied with. If you have quite big nostrils, that seem to grow even larger when you smile, this is how to get smaller nostrils.

This procedure targets the base of the nose, or the bottom portion in which your nostrils lie, and aims to shrink the overall size of them for a more refined and harmonic nose.

It can be considered a nostril reduction surgery in simpler terms. You should remember that no matter what, the nostrils do become larger when one smiles. This procedure will not stop that, it will minimize the width of the overall nose though.

Ethnic backgrounds play a large role in the initial shape and size of the nose, with Caucasian background having the most “ideal” measurements, while Asian and African American background often have a wider nasal base of the nose. The diagram below shows the variety of nose shapes that one can have, to help you compare yours and find the exact problem you have with your nose.

If you feel your nose matches these pictures in a way that is too wide, asymmetrical, or unflattering you most likely qualify to get this procedure. A common way to check one’s own nose is to picture an imaginary line running down from the inner corner of the eyes, down to the nostrils. If the base of the nose is wider than the distance between the inside corners of the eyes, then base of the nose is too wide.

This procedure is quite simple, and therefore usually leaves minimal scarring. It is often considered a form of tipplasty as it does alter the shape of the tip of the nose. There are two options for how to approach this procedure, with the main consideration being how complicated the case will be. If you have overly large nostrils, the procedure may be considered more complex.

For a simple procedure the surgery would go as follows;

A small portion of the skin closest to the inner portion of the nose would be removed so that the scar will be mostly invisible. This skin is removed and the nose is sutured together to form the smaller nostrils. This can be done for all kinds of skin, regardless of how thick the skin is, but generally is recommended for those of a thicker skin. Here’s a short clip so you can see how this is done and what results should look like after.

This procedure is done on the inside of the nose, so no scarring will be visible. It involves tying the nostrils closer to the inside and base of the nose. This is done by attaching the string to the inside of the nose, then attaching them to the opposite side of the nostrils.

Once the two sides are attached, a knot is tied that brings the outside portion of the nostril closer to the inside of the nose.

Due to the fact that there are no incisions, the recovery time is also significantly less than that of the removal surgery. This should not cause any issues with your breathing as well. The procedure is mostly recommended for those whom have a thin skin type.

This procedure should not be the first procedure you have performed if you are considering more than one form of rhinoplasty. It is much more difficult to add volume to the nostrils than to take away, and often times during other rhinoplasty procedures the shape of the nose is affected afterwards.

Therefore it is recommended that this procedure is not only done last, but to wait until the nose has healed from the previous rhinoplasty procedures, and if you still desire a change in nostril shape it can easily be done afterwards under local anesthesia.

Any bruising and swelling should disappear within 24-48 hours for non-incisional surgery, versus 2-3 weeks for incisional surgery. You will have a mixture of dissolvable sutures and non-dissolvable.

You will have to come back into the clinic approximately 7 days after your procedure to remove the non-dissolvable stitching. You may experience some redness near this are until the nose is fully healed 6 months-1 year later.

This can easily be covered with some make-up, but no make-up should be applied until the incision has fully closed.

Alar base reduction cost in South Korea is considerably less.

On average in the United States the procedure falls around $7,500.

Nostril reduction surgery in Korea costs around $2,000.

The prices are about 1/3 of the prices that can be found globally, and therefore extremely competitive. This may be attributed to the fact that a wider nose is a common feature across the Asian populations and therefore means the procedure is much more readily available and performed more often.

All in all, the procedure can regularly be performed after you have had a rhinoplasty procedure, or it can be performed in combination with your rhinoplasty procedure.

It is quite minimally invasive, and scarring should become invisible over time, if not already invisible from the beginning due to the later treatment option that can be done inside of the nose.

It is still recommended that for this specific procedure you wait until after your previous procedures have healed, as the final shape of the nose may not have the same problems it had beforehand.
