Questions
Implant or my own cartilage?
It depends on skin thickness, nasal structure and your goal. The surgeon decides with you at consultation.
What anesthesia is used?
Usually sedation with local anesthesia; general anesthesia is chosen for more complex cases.
When can I fly home?
Normally around day 8–10, after the splint comes off and the surgeon confirms healing.
When does the final shape appear?
Most swelling is gone by 2–3 months, while the tip keeps refining for 6–12 months.
