[ARTICLES] Even Decades-Old Contouring Pins Can Be Safely Removed

Pins inserted during facial contouring surgery to fix the bones in place do not always need to be removed. However, many patients consider removal due to discomfort, concerns about inflammation, or personal reasons. In particular, those who had surgery more than 10–20 years ago often worry, “Has it been too long to remove them safely?” Specialists advise that the more important factor is not how much time has passed, but whether the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon.

1st Month's Progress Checking of Facial contouring and Rhinoplasty



Today, I checked 1st month's progress of my patient who did 3 kinds of facial contouring surgery and rhinoplasty.

I explained to him that the minor swelling will go away in 2-3 months and the swelling in the front cheek also will be much less with time.

As the swelling of the nasal tip is going away with time, the angle of the tip will also go down just a little with time, so it will be settled well.

The swelling went down faster than expected, and the results came out well as planned. 

I was so proud as the patient was satisfied with the result.
