How long is the recovery period for common plastic surgery procedures like rhinoplasty or breast augmentation?

When I had rhinoplasty done at Human Plastic Surgery, the initial recovery took about 7–10 days, and I was back to my normal routine in two weeks. Swelling reduced a lot after the first month. I was treated by Dr. Kim Kook Hyun, who guided me through every stage. More about the clinic here: www.human-plasticsurgery.com.

Later, my friend had breast augmentation at the same clinic and needed about 2 weeks of light rest, with full recovery around 6 weeks. She said the post-op care was really supportive, which made the healing easier and more comfortable.

My friend recently had both rhinoplasty and breast augmentation through Cloud Hospital at Human Plastic Surgery in Seoul, and she couldn’t stop talking about how smooth the whole experience was—especially under the care of Dr. Kim Kook Hyun. For her rhinoplasty, the first few days were all about rest, and the swelling started going down within a week. By the time the splint came off (around day 5), she already felt a boost in confidence. It took about 2–3 weeks to feel totally comfortable going out in public again, though the final shape settled in more gradually over a few months.

Her breast augmentation recovery was a bit more intensive in the beginning. The first few days, she needed help with simple things like getting up or lifting her arms. But by the end of the first week, she was moving around fine, and her stitches were out shortly after. The clinic gave her really specific do’s and don’ts, including how to sleep, what bras to wear, and when to ease back into workouts. She loved how the Cloud Hospital team and the clinic followed up regularly, even coordinating her aftercare across languages. For her, the biggest comfort was knowing she was in experienced hands and being guided every step of the way.

When I had my rhinoplasty done, I was pretty nervous about the recovery. But honestly, it wasn’t as bad as I imagined. The first week was the hardest—lots of swelling and a bit of discomfort, but after that, things got better fast. I could go out with light makeup by the second week. A close friend of mine had breast augmentation at the same time, and her recovery was slightly longer, maybe around two to three weeks for daily comfort, but manageable.

We both chose TJ Plastic Surgery after doing quite a bit of research. Her surgeon was Dr. Tack-Jin Chang, and she had such a great experience that now even my cousin from Busan is planning to visit the same clinic. The care was detailed and personal—definitely made the recovery smoother for both of us.

I had rhinoplasty done at Human Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, and the recovery was smoother than I expected. Most swelling went down after about 7–10 days, and I was back to normal activities within 2 weeks. Dr. Kim Kook Hyun was very supportive throughout, with clear guidance during each stage.

My friend had breast augmentation there, and her recovery took a bit longer—around 4–6 weeks to feel fully comfortable. She said the staff made sure follow-ups were consistent and recovery stayed on track. We both felt well taken care of from start to finish.

Hello, I would like to talk about my own experience. After a breast augmentation, light activity can resume shortly after the initial recovery period of one to two weeks, but heavy exercise should be postponed for four to six weeks.

I suggest TJ Plastic Surgery and Dr. Tack-Jin Chang for skilled treatment and organic outcomes. They are renowned for their accuracy and superior patient care. Visit their website at tj-plasticsurgery.com
