Frequently asked questions

What accreditation should I check for rhinoplasty in Thailand?

The Thai Board of Plastic Surgery certifies specialists, and surgeons should be members of the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand (THPRS). JCI-accredited hospital plastic surgery departments offer the highest standards.

What does a rhinoplasty package in Thailand include?

Packages cover pre-op consultation with 3D simulation, blood work, rhinoplasty under general anaesthesia, one to two nights of hospitalisation, nasal splint and cast, medications, and follow-up visits at one week and two weeks.

What rhinoplasty techniques are common in Thailand?

Both open and closed techniques are offered, with open rhinoplasty preferred for complex cases. Piezoelectric rhinoplasty, cartilage grafting (autologous rib or ear), and silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty (popular for Asian nose types) are all available.

What aftercare follows rhinoplasty in Thailand?

The nasal cast is removed at seven days, and patients are advised to stay in Thailand for ten to fourteen days. Clinics provide detailed post-op care instructions and schedule follow-ups before departure, with telemedicine at one and three months.

How do international patients pay for rhinoplasty in Thailand?

Full payment or a 30-50% deposit is required before surgery via credit card or bank transfer. Rhinoplasty is cosmetic and self-pay. JCI-accredited hospitals provide transparent all-inclusive pricing.

What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella, allowing the surgeon to directly visualize nasal structures — preferred for complex reshaping. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions entirely inside the nostrils with no visible external scarring but offers more limited surgical access.

When will the final shape of my nose be visible?

The cast is removed at about one week and initial results are apparent, but the nose will be noticeably swollen. Most swelling resolves within 3-6 months, though subtle tip refinement continues for 12-18 months. Patients with thicker skin may require up to 2 years to see their definitive result.

What happens if I am not satisfied with my rhinoplasty results?

Revision rhinoplasty can address residual asymmetry, breathing issues, or aesthetic concerns, but surgeons recommend waiting at least 12 months for all swelling to resolve. Revision surgery is more complex due to scar tissue, so choosing a surgeon experienced in revision cases is critical. Approximately 5-15% of patients seek revision.

Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty?

Candidates should have fully developed facial bone structure — typically by age 15-16 for girls and 17-18 for boys — and be in good overall health. Results depend on existing skin thickness, cartilage strength, and facial anatomy. Active smokers should quit at least 4 weeks before and after surgery.

What scarring should I expect from rhinoplasty?

Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible external scars since all incisions are inside the nostrils. Open rhinoplasty produces a small scar on the columella that typically fades to a nearly invisible line within 3-6 months. Sun protection during healing is important to prevent scar darkening.
