Does every nose need surgery?
No.

Does the nose look beautiful and small immediately after removing the cast?
No. The shape of the nose in profile is usually revealed after two weeks, but from the front view, the swelling subsides gradually and the nose will look better and more elegant month by month.

How long does the swelling of a thick skin nose last?
It differs depending on the ability of the body to recover. The patient should have a little patience anyhow.

I had nose surgery two months ago. I am not satisfied, because it is still slightly big. What should I do?
The swelling of the nose will subside over time. This is a normal process and you should be patient.

I had rhinoplasty by a surgeon six months ago. Because of some complications, I want to have a reconstructive surgery. When is a good time?
If there is a minor problem, such as the asymmetry of the alae or sidewalls of the nose, it can be resolved at this time. But if further measures are required, you should wait one year and then have the surgery.

I had cosmetic nose surgery by one of your colleagues two years ago. For some reason, I need a second surgery. Do you perform a reconstructive surgery?
Yes. (If the first surgeon is adequately skilled and is willing to do a second surgery, the first surgeon is in priority, because it will cost you less.)
2 December 2016
Can I have surgery while wearing braces?
Yes, there would not be any problems.
2 December 2016
Is it possible to have the cosmetic nose surgery before and after the Lasik eye surgery?
Yes, there is no problem.
2 December 2016
Which one should I have first, the Lasik surgery or the nose surgery?
It is better to have the nose surgery first.
2 December 2016
I lately have had nose surgery by you. Below the nose and alae are still a little red. How long will it take for it to disappear?
The redness below the nose, in the place of stitches, takes three to four weeks to fade away.
