For most straightforward cases, no — your in-clinic follow-up during your initial trip, typically around day 7 when your splint is removed, is generally sufficient to confirm your early healing is on track. From there, you can reach out to your coordinator on WhatsApp anytime a question comes up as you continue recovering at home.

A return trip might be recommended in specific situations — for example, in the rare case additional revision work becomes necessary down the line. This isn't standard, but it's worth knowing it's a possibility rather than something entirely off the table.

Consultation Tip

If you have any lingering questions before you fly home, ask Dr. Kim to walk through them in detail during your in-clinic follow-up — it's the best opportunity to get everything addressed in person before your trip ends.
