Is Cofting painful, and what kind of anesthesia is used?

Cofting is generally well-tolerated, with anesthesia chosen to keep you comfortable throughout. Depending on the procedure, Korean clinics use local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, and most discomfort afterward is managed with prescribed medication. Pain tolerance is personal, so discuss anesthesia options and pain management with a board-certified anesthesiologist or surgeon before your treatment.

How do I choose the right clinic for Cofting in Korea?

Choose a clinic with board-certified specialists, transparent pricing, and strong patient reviews. On K-Dia, 1 clinics offer Cofting, so you can compare doctor credentials, before-and-after results, and English-language support side by side. Verify the surgeon's specialty board certification, ask about complication rates and revision policies, and book a consultation before committing — this is a medical decision, not just a price comparison.

Overview

This is a surgery to correct the shape of the nose, including the bridge, tip, and nostrils. It combines implants (silicone, Gore-Tex) with autologous tissues (septal, ear cartilage, etc.) and may also correct functional problems (nasal congestion, deviated septum).

Recommended For

For those concerned about a low nose bridge or a blunt nose tip
For those who want shape correction, such as for a hooked nose or a deviated nose
For those who want to solve functional problems such as nasal congestion together

Procedure Steps

1
Consultation · Design
Plan the height, length, and angle to match the facial proportions.
2
Anesthesia and surgery
We correct the bridge and tip of the nose using implants and autologous tissue.
3
Splint fixation
Maintain the splint and taping for 5 to 7 days to maintain the shape.
4
Observation of progress
We wait for the shape to settle while checking for swelling and inflammation.

Pros

Since it is located in the center of the face, it has a significant effect on changing one's impression.
Can simultaneously improve functional problems (nasal congestion)
Semi-permanent maintenance

Things to Consider

It takes 3 to 6 months to complete the final shape.
Factors requiring revision surgery, such as implant contracture and inflammation, exist.
The burden of surgery and the cost are quite high.

Side Effects & Precautions

Avoid bumping your nose or wearing glasses for one month after surgery.
If you experience signs of inflammation (persistent pain or redness), please visit the hospital immediately.
Smoking hinders recovery and tissue engraftment, so quitting smoking is necessary.

This is general guidance; details vary by individual and clinic. Always consult a medical specialist.
