What if I have complications after returning to my home country?

Plan for aftercare before you fly. Good clinics offer remote follow-up (photo/video consultations) for international patients and will advise on what is normal versus concerning — ask specifically about their post-return support and response time. Realistically, minor issues (swelling questions, suture concerns) are handled virtually, while a true complication may need a local surgeon, so it is wise to identify a board-certified surgeon at home in advance who is willing to see post-op patients for emergencies, and to keep your Korean operative notes and implant details. For rhinoplasty, serious early complications are uncommon, but know the warning signs (spreading redness, fever, significant pain/discharge) and have a local urgent-care plan. Travel insurance that covers post-op issues is worth checking.

This is general information — an in-person consultation with a board-certified specialist is the only way to get advice tailored to your anatomy and goals.
