One month after natural Asian rhinoplasty by A/Prof Dr Eugene Wong ｜ENT & Rhinoplasty and Dr. James Kok | ENT & Rhinoplasty Surgeon | KL

At one month, this is still an early stage of healing, with residual swelling of the nose expected. Even at this stage, we’re seeing a result that enhances her overall facial harmony while maintaining a natural appearance. The nose will continue to refine over the coming months as the swelling gradually settles.

Thank you to our lovely patient for allowing us to share her rhinoplasty journey.

Why don’t I recommend nose threads?

Nose threads are often marketed as a simple, minimally invasive and absorbable alternative to surgical rhinoplasty.

However, in my practice, I regularly see patients with problems related to previous nose threads — from contour irregularities and distortion of the nose to threads that remain intact years after insertion.

Previous nose threads can also make future surgical rhinoplasty more complex, with a longer recovery and less predictable results.

“Non-surgical” doesn’t mean consequence-free. Think beyond the immediate result.

Immediate intra-operative result following revision rhinoplasty by A/Prof Dr Eugene Wong ｜ENT & Rhinoplasty

The surgery aimed to improve dorsal height, enhance tip definition, and create a more balanced alar-columellar relationship. Rib DCF augmentation, tip plasty and alarplasty were performed to achieve these changes.

One month after natural Asian rhinoplasty by A/Prof Dr Eugene Wong ｜ENT & Rhinoplasty and Dr. James Kok | ENT & Rhinoplasty Surgeon | KL ✨

A one-month update from our wonderful patient.

There is still some swelling at this early stage, but her nose is already looking natural and well balanced with her facial features. Looking forward to seeing it continue to refine over the coming months.

Why can’t you exercise after rhinoplasty? 👃

Exercising too early can:

1️⃣ Increase your heart rate and blood pressure → increasing the risk of bleeding from the nose

2️⃣ Increase blood flow to the nose → making your nose stay swollen for longer

3️⃣ Affect the healing process → your incision, sutures and grafts are still healing, with additional risk of accidental trauma during sports

As a general guide:

🚶 2–3 weeks: Light exercise
Brisk walking, easy stationary cycling and gentle low-intensity workouts

🏋️ 4–6 weeks: Gradually return to more intense exercise
Running, weight training, CrossFit, HYROX, tennis, football and basketball

Remember, even if your nose looks and feels fine on the outside, it’s still healing underneath.

Recovery varies depending on the surgery, so always follow your surgeon’s advice.

A blocked nose that keeps changing sides may be due to excessive swelling of the turbinates during the normal nasal cycle.

So what can you do about it?

💧 Nasal douching
A saline solution, usually containing sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, helps wash away mucus, allergens and irritants.

👃Steroid nasal sprays
These help reduce inflammation and swelling of the nasal lining and turbinates.

🔹 Turbinate reduction
If the turbinates remain significantly enlarged despite appropriate medical treatment, procedures such as radiofrequency reduction or turbinoplasty may be considered.

So if your blocked nose keeps changing sides, the solution isn’t to stop the nasal cycle — it’s to reduce the excessive turbinate swelling that’s making the normal cycle feel obstructed.

Nose threads may seem like a simple, minimally invasive procedure — but they can make future rhinoplasty significantly more challenging.

Previous threads can lead to scar tissue and fibrosis, making surgical dissection more difficult and increasing bleeding. They may also contribute to irregularities in the skin and soft tissue.

In this revision rhinoplasty, 30 threads were removed from a single nose.

If you’ve had nose threads before, always let your rhinoplasty surgeon know — even if they were inserted years ago.
