Addressing Various Plastic Surgery Rumors About Rhinoplasty

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

Following our previous check on double eyelid surgery rumors,

we will look into what plastic surgery rumors exist about rhinoplasty

and whether those rumors are actually true

in today's post.

​

✔️ Can you drink and smoke right after removing rhinoplasty stitches?

✔️ Does rhinoplasty require at least 3 surgeries?

✔️ Is making a "pig nose" impossible after rhinoplasty?

​

Can you drink and smoke right after removing rhinoplasty stitches?

​

NO!

Even if the stitches have been removed,

the wound has not fully healed yet,

so we highly recommend abstaining from alcohol and smoking for at least one month.

​

Does rhinoplasty require at least 3 surgeries?

​

NO!

If the first surgery is successful,

there is absolutely no need to do it again.

However, because there are many revision rhinoplasty cases,

it seems this plastic surgery rumor was created.

​

Is making a "pig nose" impossible after rhinoplasty?

​

Conditional YES!

Depending on the surgical method and the type of cartilage used,

it may or may not be possible.

Speaking in terms of the most common methods,

if a septal extension graft is performed using septal cartilage,

the nose becomes much firmer compared to before the surgery,

so there is a higher probability that making a "pig nose"

will not be possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drink and smoke immediately after getting my stitches removed from nose surgery?

No, you cannot. Even if the stitches are removed, the wound is not yet fully healed, so drinking and smoking immediately is dangerous. For a safe recovery, we strongly recommend refraining from alcohol and smoking for at least one month.

Do I need to have at least 3 revision surgeries for nose surgery?

No, you don't. If the first surgery was successfully completed, there is no need for another revision surgery. The rumor that you must have multiple surgeries is simply due to the relatively high number of revision surgery cases, so you can rest assured.

Is it impossible to make a 'pig nose' after nose surgery?

Conditionally true. It may or may not be possible depending on the surgical method and the type of cartilage used. Generally, if extension grafting is performed using septal cartilage, the nose becomes much firmer than before the surgery, making it more likely that a 'pig nose' will not be possible.

Does the nose become firm if septal cartilage is used during nose surgery?

Yes, that's correct. When nasal tip extension grafting is performed using septal cartilage, the nose tends to be much more firmly fixed compared to before the surgery. This increases the likelihood that the 'pig nose' movement of pushing the nasal tip upwards will be difficult after surgery.
