On the 5th day following her structural rhinoplasty procedure, Malika, a female foreign customer of African descent, returned to Kangnam Saigon Aesthetic Hospital for her scheduled follow-up examination and healing progress check. Her remarkable transformation and unexpectedly rapid recovery rate are a testament to the exceptional professional expertise of the medical team here.
Unlike the nasal structure of Asians, the characteristic nasal features of individuals of African descent, like Malika, present distinct traits such as:
To thoroughly address these imperfections while preserving the customer’s inherent personality and sharp, striking features, Dr. Mark Nguyen – Vice Head of the Korean Cosmetic Surgery Department at Kangnam Saigon, personally conducted the examination, measured the facial proportions, and prescribed the Idol Structural Rhinoplasty method.

Dr. Mark Nguyen applied an exclusive dissection technique to minimize invasiveness and blood vessel damage. The meticulous operation, lasting 450 minutes, was executed as follows:
For her 5-day post-op follow-up, Malika returned to Kangnam Saigon to have the doctor inspect the incision site and recovery progress. This is a crucial early milestone where the incision is evaluated, swelling levels are monitored, and the patient is re-guided on aftercare instructions for the upcoming days.
As recorded during the check-up, Malika’s swelling and bruising have gradually subsided in accordance with the standard recovery timeline, and the incision is dry and stable. The doctor noted that this is just the initial stage; the nose will require more time to fully settle into its defined shape, which will be thoroughly evaluated during subsequent follow-up milestones. What Malika noticed most clearly was that her nasal bridge is now significantly higher, while her overall facial harmony retains its inherent softness.
During the follow-up session, Dr. Mark Nguyen assessed:
“Malika’s body responds exceptionally well to this new rhinoplasty technology. Thanks to the precise dissection technique and a strict post-operative care regimen, the wound has dried up completely, and the muscle tissues are bonding and stabilizing beautifully.”
Gazing at her new appearance in the mirror, Malika could not hide her immense happiness. Choosing to undergo rhinoplasty at Kangnam Saigon has delivered results that far exceeded her expectations.
Malika shared:
“I used to be very anxious because my skin is thick, and I feared my nose would suffer from prolonged swelling and pain. But the past 5 days have actually been completely gentle—I didn’t feel any pain at all. Dr. Mark Nguyen designed an absolutely outstanding nose for me; it has a luxurious Western height yet perfectly preserves my natural beauty.”
