The Ultimate Guide to Rhinoplasty in Philippines






Rhinoplasty in the Philippines - Medical Departures


Important note as of 27 October 2022:

At this time, Medical Departures is no longer facilitating medical bookings in the Philippines. 

To find and schedule a free appointment with a board-registered surgeon elsewhere in Asia, please browse our network of trusted, verified rhinoplasty providers in Thailand, Bali, or South Korea—as well as dozens of other destinations to choose from in our main global guide.

Alternatively, see some of our popular medical destination guides below—containing travel tips, price comparisons, before & after photos, reviews, and recommended clinics for other types of plastic surgery, dermatology, hair transplantation, orthopedics, fertility and anti-aging treatments:

 
We thank you for your continued support and wish you all the best in good health and safe travels.
 

For your reference:

The Philippines has first-rate medical facilities (if you know where to look), making it a top destination for global medical travelers. Affordability is one of the most important criteria for patients who opt to have medical treatment overseas, and the Philippines ticks all the boxes on competitive prices.

If the price is tempting, then your next step should always be to do some research. Check out your destination country and ask yourself: would I be comfortable going there? What about any language barrier?  

And what about the medical staff: is training to a high standard? Globalization has helped to ensure new techniques and best practices are adopted quickly and in the Philippines, doctors spend at least six years in medical school before graduating, and then years more of further training depending on their chosen specialty. Very often, many doctors opt to take at least some part of their training overseas, usually in Western countries, such as the United States, Australia, or Europe. You may also want to check out professional societies, such as the Rhinoplasty Society, which may be of help.

You should always do your own research if you are considering any kind of surgery–even if you elect to remain at home. Rhinoplasty, or a 'nose job', is a specialty surgery, and you should always find out what it entails so that you can ask appropriate questions of your surgeon to help ensure a rewarding outcome.

Medical Departures conducts background checks on doctors, listing qualifications and professional memberships, as well as checking for any legal or criminal records. We pay onsite visits to clinics, list real patient reviews and publish high definition clinic photos. While no checks are absolutely foolproof–no surgery can ever be 100% guaranteed–starting off with a facility where all the credentials stack up helps you mitigate risks of complications or an undesirable outcome.

This is not a one-size-fits-all procedure and one person’s rhinoplasty is not likely to be the same as another’s. Some patients require only minor intervention, whereas others may require major reconstruction. Surgery usually lasts between one and six hours.

What Is the Recovery Time for Rhinoplasty and How Long Will I Need to Stay in the Philippines?


Recovery times vary, depending on the extent of your surgery. The first few days after surgery will be uncomfortable; your nose may be packed with gauze and you may have a splint, which will make breathing difficult. You will be advised to sleep on your back, preferably propped up on pillows to keep elevated, which will help with the swelling.

You will need to take things slowly, being mindful not to knock your nose. Gentle exercise may be resumed after three weeks but contact sports and anything too energetic or strenuous should be avoided for six weeks.

This is why the 'holiday' part of your cosmetic tourism trip to the Philippines should always be scheduled before your surgery date.

Leyla Arvas is a sweetheart... I follow her and her clinic on Instagram as well... I think both the cleanliness and hygiene of the clinic and the friendliness, charm and beauty of Ms. Leyla Arvas are enough to explain and understand everything... I give it a ten out of ten ????

Attention is top notch, and always a friendly welcome. I don't even want to say that my messages will be answered instantly.... I am a working mother... that appointment changes ten times, but my WhatsApp messages are still answered with the same interest and compassion (extra thx Gözde)?✌?

I get laser epilation service from here. My skin is very sensitive. That's why I receive service from experts in a polyclinic environment, with the best devices. Mr. Alihan did his job meticulously since the first session. The sessions progress very quickly with his respectful and level-headed conversation. He is very careful about hygiene. I go to my sessions with peace of mind in the pandemic environment. Thank you Mr. Alihan and Quartz family.

We have been attending the quartz clinic with my wife for a while. They do their job professionally with sincerity, keeping patient satisfaction at the forefront. We were examined personally by Ms. Leyla and we continue our procedures with her approval. We would like to personally thank Ms. Nil who accompanied us during this process ☺️
