The Short Answer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are wondering whether semi-open rhinoplasty is dangerous, this technique carries the usual risks of any surgery, and how risky it is depends on an assessment of your own body&#8217;s limits. Making incisions inside both nostrils gives the surgeon a wider view inside, which helps reduce skin tension while the silicone implant is placed and lowers the chance of the nose becoming crooked or tilted.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every type of plastic surgery carries risks, so it is important to learn about the risks and warning signs and to watch your symptoms closely during the first 14 days after surgery, as follows.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Possible Risks of This Technique<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open rhinoplasty still carries risks you need to know about, such as the chance of the nose becoming crooked or tilted, or tip extrusion, if the silicone implant does not fit your existing nasal base.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inflammation and infection inside the nose are usually caused by not keeping the wound clean enough during the first 14 days after surgery. Redness and bruising around the eyes and along the bridge of the nose are common, but if you get unusually severe pain after 3 days or fluid leaking from the wound, see a doctor straight away.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So whether semi-open rhinoplasty is dangerous depends mainly on the surgeon&#8217;s technique, especially placing the silicone implant under the membrane covering the bone to prevent the implant becoming loose in future.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Warning Signs After Surgery That Need Urgent Medical Attention<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warning signs after surgery that mean you need to see a doctor straight away include bleeding that does not stop, or a high temperature above 38.5\u00b0C together with redness, swelling and bruising that keep getting worse. If left untreated, this may damage the skin of the nose and lead to a serious infection.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing to watch closely is the colour of the nasal tip. If the skin turns clearly white, pale, green or dark purple, which is often caused by poor blood flow, or if fluid mixed with blood keeps leaking from the stitches after the first 48 hours, see a doctor as soon as possible to prevent the skin losing its blood supply and tissue death at the nasal tip.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE04;&#xE27;&#xE32;&#xE21;&#xE08;&#xE23;&#xE34;&#xE07;&#xE40;&#xE23;&#xE37;&#xE48;&#xE2D;&#xE07;&#xE40;&#xE17;&#xE04;&#xE19;&#xE34;&#xE04;-semi-open-&#xE43;&#xE19;&#xE17;&#xE32;&#xE07;&#xE01;&#xE32;&#xE23;&#xE41;&#xE1E;&#xE17;&#xE22;&#xE4C;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Facts About the Semi-Open Technique in Medicine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-difference.webp\" alt=\"The difference between the semi-open technique and other techniques\" class=\"wp-image-8221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-difference.webp 1200w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-difference-450x253.webp 450w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-difference-1080x608.webp 1080w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-difference-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/service\/nose-surgery\/\">rhinoplasty<\/a> uses incisions inside both nostrils, giving the surgeon a wider view of the central framework of the nose. You may have heard that the semi-open technique is not in medical textbooks, and academically that is true, because international plastic surgery textbooks divide rhinoplasty into only 2 main types, closed and open.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Some Plastic Surgeons Say This Technique Is Not in Textbooks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International plastic surgery textbooks do not include a technique called semi-open, because medicine divides rhinoplasty into only 2 main types, <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/semi-open-vs-open-rhinoplasty\/\">open rhinoplasty<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/open-rhinoplasty-vs-close-rhinoplasty\/\">closed rhinoplasty<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open is a marketing name for closed rhinoplasty with an extra incision so that there are incisions inside both nostrils, which helps the surgeon see the central framework of the nose more easily than with a single incision. The name helps explain to patients how complex the surgery is.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making incisions on both sides in this way is actually a technique called bilateral closed rhinoplasty, which was developed to make interdomal suturing or reshaping the nasal tip with ear cartilage easier. The incisions are small, about 2mm to 3mm, and hidden inside the nostrils, which lowers the chance of the scars being noticed from the outside.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Difference Between the Semi-Open Technique and Other Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open rhinoplasty, with incisions on both sides, differs from other methods in that the surgeon makes incisions inside both the left and right nostrils to gain access for reshaping the nose more easily than with a single incision. The table below compares each type of surgery.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Surgical technique<\/th><th>Incision site<\/th><th>Scope of reshaping<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Closed<\/td><td>Inside 1 nostril<\/td><td>Silicone implant to raise the nose only<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Semi open<\/td><td>Inside both nostrils<\/td><td>Silicone implant with tip reshaping and interdomal suturing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Open<\/td><td>Under the nasal base and inside the nostrils<\/td><td>Full reshaping of the bone and septal extension possible<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surgery with incisions on both sides gives the surgeon a more balanced view of the structure inside than the traditional single incision, which lowers the chance of a crooked or tilted nose. Wound care after surgery still only needs stitches to be removed within 7 to 14 days, similar to a single incision.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE01;&#xE32;&#xE23;&#xE17;&#xE33;&#xE08;&#xE21;&#xE39;&#xE01;&#xE40;&#xE17;&#xE04;&#xE19;&#xE34;&#xE04;-semi-open-&#xE40;&#xE2B;&#xE21;&#xE32;&#xE30;&#xE01;&#xE31;&#xE1A;&#xE43;&#xE04;&#xE23;&#xE1A;&#xE49;&#xE32;&#xE07;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Is Semi-Open Rhinoplasty Suitable For?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-suitable.webp\" alt=\"Nasal structures that suit semi-open rhinoplasty\" class=\"wp-image-8222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-suitable.webp 1200w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-suitable-450x253.webp 450w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-suitable-1080x608.webp 1080w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-suitable-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open rhinoplasty suits people who want a shorter recovery time and to avoid a scar on the outside of the nasal base, and people who already have a fairly good nasal structure.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nasal Structures That Tend to Suit This Technique<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open rhinoplasty suits people who already have a fairly good nasal base but want a slightly more lifted or slimmer nasal tip. It should be a case without a severely crooked or tilted nose, with a moderate amount of reasonably flexible nasal tissue. Nose types that suit reshaping with incisions on both sides include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a fairly well-sloped bridge where you want a higher, more defined bridge with a silicone implant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a slightly droopy nasal tip, where the surgeon can make incisions on both sides for interdomal suturing to make the tip rounder or more lifted more easily<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/bulbous-nose-open-rhinoplasty\/\">bulbous nose<\/a> where the tip tissue is not too thick, so the surgeon can trim excess fat at the nasal tip more easily than with a single-incision closed technique<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This technique helps reduce tension at the nasal tip because the cartilage at the tip is also stitched and reshaped. It suits people who want <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/sloped-pointed-teardrop-nose\/\">a sloped bridge with a slightly lifted tip<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nasal Structure Limits This Technique Cannot Correct<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open rhinoplasty is limited when the existing nasal base is very crooked or tilted, because incisions on both sides do not open a wide enough view to correct the whole septum inside.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forcing this technique to achieve a shape that is too difficult may increase the chance of the silicone implant tilting and needing another operation. This is part of the answer to whether semi-open rhinoplasty is dangerous, because if it is used on a nose it does not suit, the implant may tilt or twist within the first 6 months after surgery. Nose types that cannot be corrected with semi-open rhinoplasty include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/uneven-nostrils-open-rib-rhinoplasty\/\">a severely deviated septum<\/a> that affects breathing and the outer shape of the nose<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a high dorsal hump, like a camel&#8217;s back, that needs nasal osteotomy (reshaping the nasal bones) on all sides to narrow the nasal bridge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a short, upturned nasal tip that shows the nostrils clearly and needs tip lengthening with rib cartilage instead<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE40;&#xE1B;&#xE23;&#xE35;&#xE22;&#xE1A;&#xE40;&#xE17;&#xE35;&#xE22;&#xE1A;&#xE02;&#xE49;&#xE2D;&#xE14;&#xE35;&#xE41;&#xE25;&#xE30;&#xE02;&#xE49;&#xE2D;&#xE08;&#xE33;&#xE01;&#xE31;&#xE14;&#xE02;&#xE2D;&#xE07;&#xE01;&#xE32;&#xE23;&#xE40;&#xE2A;&#xE23;&#xE34;&#xE21;&#xE08;&#xE21;&#xE39;&#xE01;&#xE41;&#xE1A;&#xE1A;-semi-open\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages and Limits of Semi-Open Rhinoplasty Compared<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-limitations.webp\" alt=\"Nose shapes that cannot be corrected with semi-open rhinoplasty\" class=\"wp-image-8223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-limitations.webp 1200w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-limitations-450x253.webp 450w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-limitations-1080x608.webp 1080w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/is-semi-open-rhinoplasty-dangerous-limitations-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key feature of semi-open rhinoplasty is that the surgeon gets a wider view of the nasal framework through incisions inside both nostrils. Compared with other techniques, the differences in both the procedure and recovery time are as follows.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Comparison<\/th><th>Closed technique<\/th><th>Semi-open technique<\/th><th>Open technique<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Incision site<\/td><td>Inside 1 nostril<\/td><td>Inside 2 nostrils<\/td><td>Outer and inner nasal base<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>View of the nasal framework<\/td><td>Very limited<\/td><td>Moderate<\/td><td>Full view<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bruising and swelling<\/td><td>3 to 5 days<\/td><td>5 to 7 days<\/td><td>14 days or more<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages of the Semi-Open Technique for Reshaping the Nasal Tip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incisions on both sides give the surgeon a more even view of the nasal framework and the cartilage at the tip than a single incision, so the silicone implant can be placed accurately and in balance, which lowers the chance of it tilting after the wounds have healed. Reshaping with stitches on both sides also helps the shape of the nasal tip in several other ways:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>it reduces pulling at the nasal tip, making it easier to reshape the cartilage at the tip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>it makes interdomal suturing easier, drawing the tip cartilages together for a slimmer-looking tip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ear cartilage can be inserted as a tip graft in the right position to prevent the skin becoming thin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>access from both sides lets the surgeon check that the nostrils are even straight away while closing the wounds<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Common Side Effects or Problems After Surgery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After semi-open rhinoplasty, bruising and swelling around the eyes and along the bridge of the nose are common, normal side effects. They usually settle within 7 to 14 days and are not usually harmful. In the early stage of recovery, you may also get other side effects, such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>clear fluid or light bleeding from the wounds inside the nostrils during the first 48 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the nose looking temporarily crooked or tilted because the skin on each side swells unevenly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tightness at the nasal tip when you open your mouth wide or smile during the first month<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To care for this, apply cold compresses around the forehead and cheeks during the first 72 hours, which helps control the widening of blood vessels and reduces fluid building up under the skin. Sleeping with your head raised on 2 pillows also helps reduce fluid build-up during the first week.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE17;&#xE33;&#xE44;&#xE21;&#xE40;&#xE25;&#xE37;&#xE2D;&#xE01;&#xE1B;&#xE23;&#xE31;&#xE1A;&#xE17;&#xE23;&#xE07;&#xE08;&#xE21;&#xE39;&#xE01;&#xE40;&#xE17;&#xE04;&#xE19;&#xE34;&#xE04;-semi-open-&#xE17;&#xE35;&#xE48;-s45-clinic\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Choose S45 Clinic for Semi-Open Rhinoplasty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S45 Clinic designs noses with the semi-open technique by focusing on adjusting the nasal bone and nasal proportions to suit your face individually. This approach helps lower the chance of side effects after surgery. The height of the nasal bridge is carefully calculated to suit each patient&#8217;s existing proportions.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Individual Assessment of Your Nasal Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A detailed individual assessment of your nasal structure helps lower the chance of the nose tilting and of the wounds feeling tight or pulling after surgery. <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/specialist-doctor\/\">The surgeon checks the flexibility of your skin<\/a>, the thickness of the skin over your nose and your existing nasal bone in detail before planning where to place the silicone implant. This individual analysis helps the surgeon choose an implant size that suits your own nasal bone.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medical Technology Used for Assessment Before Surgery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3D simulation shows the real structure of the nose from every angle before surgery begins. This technology shows the size of the existing nasal bone, how tilted it is and the thickness of the skin at the tip. The computer system calculates proportions to simulate a nose shape that fits your actual bone, reducing the errors of assessing by eye alone.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Checking the structure inside with a cross-sectional scan helps assess how crooked the septum and the central cartilage are. This information helps the surgical team plan the placement of the silicone implant under the membrane covering the bone in the right position, and it is used to measure the new height of the nasal bridge, to lower the chance of the nose tilting in future.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Suturing Techniques to Care for the Nasal Tip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closing the wounds through both nostrils with small dissolvable stitches, together with a synthetic tip graft, helps reduce tension and lower the chance of implant extrusion. This synthetic material, which is designed to resemble skin tissue, spreads the pressure from the silicone implant so it does not press directly on the skin at the tip. The graft adds thickness to the skin layer at the nasal tip.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wounds are closed in layers to lower the chance of a visible scar and to help the wound edges meet closely. Adding this synthetic material at the tip can lengthen the nasal tip by about 1mm to 2mm while lowering the chance of the skin at the tip becoming thin. The incisions inside the nostrils usually take about 14 days to heal, depending on each person.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"faq-&#xE04;&#xE33;&#xE16;&#xE32;&#xE21;&#xE17;&#xE35;&#xE48;&#xE1E;&#xE1A;&#xE1A;&#xE48;&#xE2D;&#xE22;&#xE40;&#xE01;&#xE35;&#xE48;&#xE22;&#xE27;&#xE01;&#xE31;&#xE1A;&#xE01;&#xE32;&#xE23;&#xE17;&#xE33;&#xE08;&#xE21;&#xE39;&#xE01;&#xE41;&#xE1A;&#xE1A;-semi-open\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQ About Semi-Open Rhinoplasty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Long Does Semi-Open Rhinoplasty Last?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open rhinoplasty usually <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/silicone-nose-lifespan\/\">lasts for many years<\/a> if the nose does not become crooked or tilted and there is no infection after surgery. Using a silicone implant together with <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/retroauricular-fascia\/\">ear cartilage<\/a> also helps reduce tension at the nasal tip and lower the chance of implant extrusion in the long term.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do I Look After Myself After Surgery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/how-to-take-care-yourself-after-rhinoplasty\/\">Cold compresses around the nose<\/a> and forehead during the first 48 hours help reduce bruising and swelling, but do not let the compress touch or press directly on the bridge of the nose. After the first 3 days, switch to warm compresses to stimulate blood circulation and help the bruising fade gradually, depending on each person.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Much Does This Technique Cost on Average?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/nose-surgery-price\/\">The cost of semi-open rhinoplasty<\/a> is currently about THB 15,000 to THB 40,000 on average, depending mainly on individual factors. The basic cost in this range usually covers only the silicone implant and the basic incision surgery. If you want further reshaping and a tip graft to lower the chance of implant extrusion, there is an extra cost for additional materials such as ear cartilage.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Semi-Open Rhinoplasty a Good Choice for a First Rhinoplasty?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-open rhinoplasty is an option worth considering for a first rhinoplasty if you already have a good basic nose shape and want only a small change. Incisions on both sides help the surgeon place the silicone implant in a suitable plane, which lowers the chance of it tilting.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE2A;&#xE23;&#xE38;&#xE1B;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is semi-open rhinoplasty dangerous? The answer is that it carries the usual risks of any surgery, and how risky it is depends on an assessment of your own body&#8217;s limits. It is an option that can help lower the chance of side effects after surgery because it causes little trauma inside the nose while still allowing the nose to be reshaped.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This technique may lower the chance of some problems because the incisions are hidden inside both nostrils, which reduces skin tension at the nasal tip. This allows the surgeon to place the silicone implant securely under the membrane covering the bone so it fits closely, giving a balanced nose shape in line with the nasal axis and lowering the chance of the nose becoming crooked or tilted in the long term.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group s45-cta\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Because every nose structure&#8230;<br\/>is different<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s45-cta-lead wp-block-paragraph\">An otolaryngologist with subspecialty training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery <strong>assesses every case before treatment<\/strong> and gives advice based on your actual concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s45-cta-slogan wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReveal the beauty within you\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button s45-cta-line\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/page.line.me\/s45clinic.official\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chat with us on LINE<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s45-cta-free wp-block-paragraph\">Message us online<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a class=\"s45-cta-tel\" href=\"tel:+6621252543\">Call us +66 2 125 2543<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s45-cta-clinic\"><a class=\"s45-cta-map\" href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/7cTTtDAiE7NVN4yZA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span><strong>S45 Clinic (Sukhumvit 33)<\/strong><em>Open daily 8:30am to 11:30pm.
