Myths and Truths About Summer Rhinoplasty

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

When it comes to summer rhinoplasty, many people

tend to think that the risk of infection is higher

compared to other seasons.

​

Today, here at Vibe Plastic Surgery,

we would like to share the myths and truths about summer rhinoplasty.

​

​

Is it really true that getting a nose job in the summer

leads to a higher incidence of side effects and infections?

Myths and Truths About Summer Rhinoplasty

​

That is not the case.

The reason is that whether it is summer or winter,

our body maintains homeostasis,

just as our body temperature remains constant.

Even in the summer, your body temperature stays normal,

so seasonal changes do not significantly affect wound healing.

​

However, you should avoid hot and humid environments

like saunas or jjimjilbangs (Korean bathhouses) for about a month.

​

​

Among the floating rumors,

there is a claim that swelling doesn't subside well when the temperature is high.

This is completely unfounded.

In fact, because your metabolic rate increases in the summer,

blood circulation becomes smoother,

which can actually help swelling go down faster than in other seasons.

​

It is true that summer is a season where bacteria can easily multiply

due to increased sweat and sebum secretion.

However, as long as you strictly follow the post-operative precautions,

there is no significant difference compared to other seasons.

​

Therefore, summer rhinoplasty

does not have any major differences when compared to other seasons.

​

To achieve satisfactory results after rhinoplasty,

rather than the season, it is better to check if the clinic fully considers

your current nose condition, facial bone structure, and overall harmony,

and whether they have a well-established aftercare program.

​

At Vibe Plastic Surgery,

we operate a dedicated system with board-certified plastic surgeons.

Before the rhinoplasty consultation, we use 3D-CT to precisely analyze

the height and length of the nose, the degree of nasal bone deviation,

and the condition of the septal cartilage.

Based on this, we establish and plan

a surgical method tailored specifically to you.

​

So far, we have looked into

the myths and truths about summer rhinoplasty.
