Looking at ways you can afford to have nose surgery? Rhinoplasty in South Korea costs over 50% less than at home, and with Medical Departures, you can find and book your treatment at a quality-checked facility.
Any kind of cosmetic surgery takes a good deal of consideration, especially if it involves your face. Many people considering rhinoplasty have usually thought long and hard about the procedure, as they have usually been unhappy with the size and/or shape of their nose for some time. This could be from birth or caused by a trauma or accident that has damaged the nose. Or you may have a desire for a new look to your nose and face.
Why Should I Consider Rhinoplasty in South Korea?
South Korea is one of the world’s plastic surgery capitals: more people have cosmetic surgery here than anywhere else in the world. Some estimate that as much as 40% of the population have had some aesthetic treatment, with non-invasive fillers, double eyelid surgery and nose jobs all proving particularly popular with Koreans. This has given rise to thousands of world-class surgeons and clinics that specialize in this field.
Facial surgery is the most popular area of the body for surgery in South Korea and is certainly where doing your homework beforehand should be a minimum objective. There is always more than one way to achieve a result, and with facial surgery, it is important to see a surgeon’s previous work. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and one person’s idea of what’s beautiful is not necessarily another. Make sure you and your surgeon are on the same wavelength.
This is part and parcel of doing your due diligence. You should also be sure to check out your surgeon's qualifications and professional memberships, online reputation and clinic facilities. Medical Departures does all of this and publishes all findings on our site, as well as checking for legal or criminal records and cases. We also pay personal visits to the clinics, taking high-definition photos and virtual video tours which, again you’ll find on our site.
Rhinoplasty is a tailor-made procedure and the length of time varies considerably for each patient. It can take as little as an hour, or it may be up to six. This timing partially depends in part upon whether major reconstructive work is needed, including cartilage work, or whether it is simply a case of adjusting the tip of the nose.
Your surgeon will discuss this with you in detail during your consultation. You can also prepare by reading more about nose job procedures here. You might also check into non-invasive, non-surgical strategies for facial aesthetics.
After surgery, you will probably be advised to remain in-country for a few days, as part of your recovery. You can discuss a timeline with your surgeon (through Medical Departures) in more detail as to how long you'll need to remain in South Korea before you book your return flight.
You will probably need between one and two weeks before you can return to work.
Items to note about your recovery:
Rhinoplasty in South Korea costs around 50% less compared to Australia, with prices at our partner clinics starting from as little as AUD 3,500 (US$ 2,000).
