If the nasal surgery packing burden makes you hesitate about rhinoplasty, here are rhinoplasty tips from Director Lee Kyung-mook

Hello, this is Obje Plastic Surgery.

If you are interested in rhinoplasty, you may have heard this term at least once in a plastic surgery community.

It is “nasal surgery packing burden.”

It refers to the difficulty of the recovery process caused by packing being placed after most rhinoplasty procedures.

However, rhinoplasty does not always require packing.

At Obje Plastic Surgery, rhinoplasty can be performed without packing in the nose.

At Obje, we will explain the special method used to perform rhinoplasty without packing and how it is possible.^^

Why is nasal hemostasis possible without packing?

During rhinoplasty, packing is very often inserted for hemostasis. In most hospitals, if there is bleeding during surgery, the procedure is carried out under the assumption that bleeding can be controlled with packing.

As a result, after rhinoplasty, the inside of the nose is tightly blocked with packing, which makes breathing difficult, and many people suffer from the nasal surgery packing burden. Also, patients must visit the hospital to have the packing removed, and because this process is known to be very difficult, many people are frightened by it.

But at Obje Plastic Surgery, you can undergo rhinoplasty without the difficult process of the nasal surgery packing burden or nasal packing removal.

This is because Director Lee Kyung-mook at Obje does not use packing when performing rhinoplasty.

Director Lee Kyung-mook has never used packing for hemostasis since beginning rhinoplasty. This is possible because he performs surgery with the idea from the very beginning that packing will not be used.

He performs the surgery by making only the incisions that are absolutely necessary for rhinoplasty and controlling bleeding as he goes. After achieving complete hemostasis so that there is no meaningful difference between using packing and not using it, he finishes the rhinoplasty.

Because the surgery is completed without packing in the nose, many people who had hesitated about rhinoplasty due to the nasal surgery packing burden also request consultations.^^

Then how does Director Lee Kyung-mook perform surgery without packing?

Why is hemostatic packing not inserted after rhinoplasty?

Director Lee Kyung-mook’s own method for reducing inflammatory reactions

When performing rhinoplasty, Director Lee Kyung-mook places great importance on operating in a way that prevents inflammation. This is because if inflammation occurs after rhinoplasty, patient satisfaction will naturally decrease, and the recovery process can become difficult.

Each plastic surgeon has different ideas about how to reduce inflammatory reactions. Some say that bleeding is important in reducing inflammatory reactions, while others say the opposite, that bleeding is not closely related to inflammation.

Director Lee Kyung-mook believes that the more bleeding there is, the greater the pain the patient feels and the higher the likelihood of inflammation.

Therefore, when performing rhinoplasty, he minimizes the incisions to reduce bleeding. In addition, if bleeding occurs, he controls it thoroughly and finishes the rhinoplasty only after fully stopping the bleeding.

However, even after controlling bleeding so that it does not occur, bleeding can start again depending on the patient. In such cases, even if the rhinoplasty is already in the final stage, he opens the area again to stop the bleeding.

The surgery is performed with the goal of controlling bleeding completely so that it can be finished without packing. Even if the hemostasis process takes a long time, he performs the surgery with the hope that patients can recover without worrying about surgical inflammation or the nasal surgery packing burden.

Whatever the rhinoplasty, what matters is that it suits me

Director Lee Kyung-mook’s rhinoplasty is basically completed without packing, but depending on the case, packing may be needed or other materials may be used.

If a lot of septal cartilage is used during surgery, a sheet may be inserted for fixation.

Or, in rhinoplasty that requires osteotomy, packing may be used as a support to help the corrected bone shape settle properly.

In summary, depending on the surgical method, hemostatic packing may be necessary, so rather than thinking, “I definitely don’t want any packing,” it is better to receive a detailed consultation with a specialist.

After rhinoplasty, if the procedure is finished with packing, recovery often becomes painful because it can be hard to breathe due to the nasal surgery packing burden and the ears may feel blocked. Many people also say that the process of removing the packing is painful, so simply placing packing in the nose can become a barrier to undergoing rhinoplasty.

But at Obje, rhinoplasty is possible without such worries.

Director Lee Kyung-mook performs surgery and finishes it with complete hemostasis to the point that packing is not needed. Because rhinoplasty is completed without packing, you can recover without worrying about the nasal surgery packing burden.
