Angel Nose Surgeryangel rhinoplasty
NANA Plastic Surgery's Angel Nose surgery is a closed rhinoplasty that corrects the shape of the nose using 100% autologous cartilage only. It leaves no scars and requires no splint or nasal packing, and recovery is faster than with open rhinoplasty.

The nose plays a central role in defining the three-dimensional contours of the face. At NANA Plastic Surgery, Angel Nose Surgery creates a refined, elegant nasal tip while maintaining a natural-looking nasal bridge, helping you achieve a unique nose shape that complements your individual features.

Q & A answered by NANA Plastic Surgery
Does the height decrease later after Angel Nose surgery?
Angel Nose Surgery is performed using the patient’s own cartilage. The cartilage is finely diced and combined with fibrin components from the patient’s own blood to form a single graft, which is then placed inside the nose.
During the recovery process, the graft undergoes absorption and integration with the surrounding tissue, which may result in changes in nasal height after surgery.
These changes are taken into consideration when planning the procedure. Once the absorption process is complete, the result is designed to be maintained semi-permanently.
The degree of absorption may vary from person to person.
Is Angel Nose surgery only for the nasal tip?
Angel Nose surgery does not use separate implants.
Autologous cartilage is mainly used for the nasal tip,
and to raise the bridge as well, an implant or
autologous rib cartilage may be used separately.
When an implant is used, the procedure is still performed
as a closed rhinoplasty, so the burden of surgery is low.
Angel Nose surgery allows the bridge and tip to be treated
at the same time, bringing out a striking style.

NANA's guide to
precautions after nose surgery
01
Washing, showering & makeup
You may wash your face and wear makeup from the day after the stitches on the columella (nasal column) are removed.Until the splint and tape are removed, wipe areas other than the surgical site with a damp towel; washing your face and wearing makeup is possible from the day after the columella stitches are removed. When washing, do not rub the nose hard or apply pressure. It is best to wait one month before wearing glasses, and please avoid saunas and steam rooms for one month.
02
Recovery
Slight bleeding and nasal discharge may occur for 2–3 days after surgery.Please do not blow your nose hard for one month after surgery; after one month you may blow your nose gently.
If ear cartilage was used, pain or changes in sensation may last up to 6 months.If ear cartilage was used during surgery, you may feel pain or changes in sensation when touching the area for up to 6 months. In general, pain and altered sensation improve over time, so there is no need to worry.
03
Swelling care
Facial swelling remains for about one month after surgery.It is normal for swelling of the nose to appear asymmetrical, as the two sides may swell or subside differently. Any visible asymmetry from swelling improves over time until the swelling has fully subsided.
Apply warm/cold compresses at the appropriate times after surgery.Cold compresses are recommended for the first 3 days after surgery; they help prevent bleeding and reduce swelling. From day 4 after surgery, warm compresses are recommended for effective management of swelling and bruising.
04
Wound care
Please visit the clinic for dressing changes and removal of the splint and stitches.If there is packing inside the nose or, when ear cartilage was used, a gauze dressing behind the ear, visit the treatment room 2–3 days after surgery to have the packing and gauze removed and the area disinfected. The nasal splint and stitches are removed at the treatment room 6–7 days after surgery.
Care for the area with the prescribed ointment.Twice a day, morning and evening, clean the inside of the nose and the incision line with a cotton swab moistened with saline solution, then apply a thin layer of the prescribed ointment.
05
Alcohol & smoking
Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for 1 month after surgery.Alcohol and smoking adversely affect bleeding, wound healing, and infection, so we recommend avoiding them for 1 month after surgery.
06
Sleeping position
Please check the recommended sleeping positions for 3 months after surgery.For the first week after surgery, avoid bending your neck while sleeping and keep your upper body elevated so your head is higher than your heart, which helps swelling subside faster. Also, do not sleep on your side or on your stomach; sleep facing the ceiling.
