Q. If I had a Hiko treatment, is rhinoplasty still possible?

Hello, this is Dr. Seo Chan-eol from AB Plastic Surgery.

I will answer the questions you have been wondering about.

Q. If I had a Hiko treatment, is rhinoplasty still possible?

A. Yes, it is possible. Before surgery, any part that can be dissolved will be dissolved, and any remaining material will be removed during surgery through the foreign-body removal process.

One thing that the person undergoing surgery should consider is skin changes.

When the material is removed, the skin often becomes excessively thin.

In such cases, there is a chance that the implant on the nasal bridge or the cartilage at the tip of the nose may show through.

It may be necessary to lower the nasal bridge implant or the tip of the nose to the point where it does not show, or to plan dermal reinforcement.

If you come for a consultation knowing which parts were treated and how much was used in the previous procedure, it can help with thorough advance planning.

I hope this answer was helpful.

If you have any other questions, please leave them in the comments and I will answer them.

Thank you.
