Consultation & Candidacy

What questions should I ask during my rhinoplasty consultation?

Published

Outcomes and side effects vary from person to person. Bleeding, infection, swelling and asymmetry may occur. Please consult our medical team before making a decision.

Some of the most useful questions to ask include: Why is this specific technique being recommended for my nose? What are the realistic limits of what can be changed, given my skin and cartilage? What would a revision look like if something needs adjusting later? And how many similar cases has Dr. Kim treated?

It's also worth asking practical questions specific to being an international patient: what the recovery timeline looks like for your flight home, what follow-up options exist remotely, and what happens if you have a concern after you've already left Korea.

Consultation Tip

Write your questions down before the consultation — it's easy to forget them in the moment, and Dr. Kim genuinely encourages a thorough Q&A before any surgical decision is made.
