Who is the candidate?
Nose surgeries are advisable for those who would like to enhance their appearance by increasing the nose bridge or shaping for a more defined nose.
How long should I stay in Thailand for Nose Surgery?
It is advisable to stay in Thailand at least 14 days to complete a whole process.

Nose reshaping requires 1 night stay in the hospital while nose implant is done on out-patient basis. Post operative check up and stitches removal will be done 7 days after the surgery.
How is surgery performed?
For nose implants, the surgeon will insert the silicone on the bridge of the nose through an incision Approximately 1 cm. on the sides of nostrils. A “pocket” is made at the ridge of the nose cartilage into which is inserted the prepared silicone. For nose reshaping, the incisions are hidden inside the nose. Through these incisions, the soft tissues that cover the nose are gently raised, allowing access to reshape the structure of the nose.
Will anesthesia be used?
Yes, nose reshaping surgery is performed under General Anesthesia, but nose implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia.

After the surgery, a patient will apply cold compress over the operative site for 2-3 days and do not sleep flat on your face. Bleeding will usually stop one day after the surgery.
