[Cocoline Clinic] Before Nose Surgery, Check Just This!

Hello, this is Cocoline Clinic, led by CEO Director Kim Seon-gu, who has specialized in nose surgery in Apgujeong for over 10 years.

Is your nose doing okay during the seasonal change?

What role does the nose play in our face? First, from a functional standpoint, the nose is responsible for the most important function: breathing. The body parts that allow us to breathe are mainly the nose and the mouth.

However, when you continue breathing through your mouth, there is increasing research showing that facial changes and skeletal changes can occur, as well as dental changes and problems.

In both functional and aesthetic terms, the nose plays an equally important role.

One of the concerns many people have when considering rhinitis surgery is whether they should also improve the aesthetic aspects at the same time.

The opposite may also be true: some people may be thinking only about cosmetic surgery and then wonder, “My nose feels a bit blocked—can that be improved at the same time?”

I’ll tell you the answer to that question now!

(Please read the text below again!)

These days, so much information related to nose surgery is being released that it can be hard to find a clear answer to the exact question you have.

Rhinitis and nose surgery, nose surgery and rhinitis

Whether to do them separately or together is probably a question that will keep coming up.

To get straight to the point,

while each surgery can be done separately,

doing them separately is a loss for you!

I’ll explain why now.

One of the most common symptoms addressed during rhinitis surgery is a deviated septum.

A deviated septum means

a condition in which the wall (septum) dividing the center (middle) of the nose

is bent in a curved shape.

A normal nasal wall should extend straight in an I-shape, but if the wall inside the nose is bent into shapes such as S, C, or reverse C, it can cause difficulty breathing.

At this point, the process of correcting the shape of the septum must be performed. In that case, the septum, which is called the best material in nose surgery, may end up being discarded.

Wait a moment here!

For those who have looked into nose surgery, you’ve probably heard a lot about autologous cartilage, right? Yes, this septum is the only cartilage in our body and is extremely important for tip surgery.

That is why it is actually used as a very good material for correcting the nasal tip.

If rhinitis surgery is performed first and then cosmetic surgery is done,

since the septum is already gone, there may be cases where ear cartilage or autologous/donor rib cartilage must be used for nasal tip correction.

The septum is the ideal material because it has both the elasticity of ear cartilage and the support strength of rib cartilage, so it would be a shame to discard it.

That is why undergoing nose surgery together with rhinitis surgery is much more advantageous.

In addition, rhinitis surgery may be eligible for private insurance reimbursement, so it can be done at a more reasonable cost.

In that case, I believe it is an opportunity to improve breathing at a lower cost while also refining the nose line and shape.

As you know, Cocoline Clinic is a place where an elite otolaryngology specialist (top scorer on the otolaryngology specialist exam) serves as the chief director.

Rhinitis surgery is a procedure in which finding and improving the underlying cause is more important than anything else, but if the doctor does not know the nose well or lacks surgical experience and know-how, rhinitis can recur after surgery except in special cases.

All surgeries performed on our body are not things to take lightly.

I hope you do not make a hasty decision to have surgery because of cost or because you feel impatient.

Cocoline Clinic carefully supports you from the consultation stage so that you can think things through thoroughly before deciding on surgery.

We also help prepare the documents needed for private insurance reimbursement, so please feel free to inquire :)

From online consultations to in-person consultations, we hope you will take your time and make a careful decision about surgery.

Thank you.
