Frequently Asked Questions About NaturGlow Rhinoplasty

• Q. How long does swelling last after NaturGlow Rhinoplasty?

  In most cases, severe swelling after NaturGlow Rhinoplasty gradually subsides within approximately 1 to 2 weeks, and after about one month, the nose shape generally begins to look more natural. Final swelling reduction and tissue stabilization continue gradually for up to 6 months. However, swelling recovery speed varies from person to person, and differences between the left and right sides may temporarily make the nose appear uneven or asymmetrical immediately after surgery. This gradually improves over time and stabilizes naturally.
• Q. Which is better for NaturGlow Rhinoplasty, Autologous Rib Cartilage or Functional Rhinoplasty?

  Autologous Rib Cartilage rhinoplasty and Functional Rhinoplasty each have their own advantages and considerations. Autologous Rib Cartilage uses the patient’s own rib cartilage, which can help create stable support and a natural nose line. Since it uses the patient’s own tissue, it may reduce concerns related to artificial implants, but the surgery and recovery process may require more careful planning. Functional Rhinoplasty focuses on improving nasal function, such as breathing discomfort, while also improving the appearance of the nose. Because each method has a different purpose, the most suitable option should be chosen after checking the patient’s nasal structure, functional condition, and desired nose shape through consultation.
• Q. After NaturGlow Rhinoplasty, can I touch or press my nose?

  For stable recovery after NaturGlow Rhinoplasty, it is generally recommended to avoid touching or pressing the nose for the first 4 weeks after surgery. Even afterward, excessive pressure should be avoided, and postoperative care should follow the medical team’s instructions. Strong impact or pressure may affect the surrounding tissues, so caution is necessary during the recovery period. Intense exercise that may apply pressure to the nose, such as weight training, swimming, or sauna use, is generally recommended after about 1 month.
• Q. Is pig nose movement impossible after NaturGlow Rhinoplasty?

  Many people worry that pig nose movement may become impossible after rhinoplasty, but this is not always the case. Whether pig nose movement is possible depends on the surgical method and individual nasal structure. In general, when the nose tip is strongly fixed, pig nose movement may become more difficult. However, this alone does not determine the overall outcome of the surgery. NaturGlow Rhinoplasty aims to create a natural nose bridge and glamorous nose tip by considering each individual’s cartilage condition and facial proportions rather than creating an artificial appearance.
• Q. What materials are used in NaturGlow Rhinoplasty?

  The materials used in NaturGlow Rhinoplasty are selected according to each individual’s nasal structure and skin condition. Depending on the case, certified medical silicone, Gore Tex, or alloderm may be used, and autologous tissues such as ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and Autologous Rib Cartilage may also be used. AB carefully selects safe and clinically verified rhinoplasty materials according to each patient’s condition to achieve more stable and natural results.
• Q. Will there be visible scars after NaturGlow Rhinoplasty?

  NaturGlow Rhinoplasty minimizes visible scarring by placing incisions in less noticeable areas and combining precise suturing techniques with systematic postoperative care to create more natural results.
• Q. Can I return to daily life immediately after NaturGlow Rhinoplasty?

  After rhinoplasty, swelling and bruising may occur during the early recovery period, so some inconvenience in daily life is possible. It is generally recommended to avoid drinking alcohol, smoking, and wearing glasses for at least 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. After stitches are removed and recovery is confirmed by the medical team, light makeup is generally possible. In most cases, significant swelling improves after about 1 week, allowing a return to normal daily activities. However, recovery speed varies from person to person.
• Q. When can I drink alcohol or smoke after NaturGlow Rhinoplasty?

  Alcohol after rhinoplasty may increase inflammation and slow recovery, while smoking may also delay healing and increase the risk of infection. It is generally recommended to avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 2 weeks after surgery, and ideally for about 4 weeks for more stable recovery.
• Q. I am worried my nose may look artificial after NaturGlow Rhinoplasty.

  NaturGlow Rhinoplasty pursues a glamorous yet natural nose line tailored to each individual’s facial proportions. AB Plastic Surgery designs personalized nose lines that create natural harmony from the nose bridge to the nose tip rather than simply making the nose excessively high or pointed. In particular, by adjusting the nose bridge, nose tip, and Columella according to each person’s facial balance, the surgery aims to avoid an artificial appearance and create a more refined overall impression.
• Q. What is NaturGlow Rhinoplasty?

  NaturGlow Rhinoplasty generally refers to a nose line that lies between extremely natural rhinoplasty and dramatically glamorous rhinoplasty. However, AB Plastic Surgery’s NaturGlow Rhinoplasty has its own distinct approach. AB NaturGlow Rhinoplasty creates a naturally refined nose bridge, glamorous nose tip, and balanced facial harmony to achieve a nose line that looks elegant without appearing artificial. By carefully considering each patient’s facial proportions and overall image, the surgery creates a refined nose from the bridge to the tip while naturally adjusting the Columella line between the lips and nose.
