Hello, this is Chamin Plastic Surgery.

Today, we are seeing more and more people who feel discomfort from nasal congestion, a foreign body sensation, and similar symptoms after nose surgery,

so today we would like to introduce

functional nose removal surgery.

What is Chamin Functional Nose Removal?

Even after functional rhinoplasty,

if breathing remains difficult and

nasal congestion or a foreign body sensation from an implant is felt,

this surgery removes the nasal implant and transplanted nasal tip cartilage

while also improving nasal conditions.

Why is breathing still difficult

after functional rhinoplasty?

More and more people are having both functional rhinoplasty and cosmetic rhinoplasty,

but still experience persistent nasal congestion

and difficulty breathing.

When treatment for nasal conditions such as rhinitis, a deviated septum, or nasal valve stenosis

did not properly address the problem, or when too much septal cartilage was removed,

damaging the support structure,

many people experience nasal congestion and discomfort after surgery for various reasons.

  1. Nasal congestion / dry nose

  2. Foreign body sensation from the implant, pain

  3. Inflammation and contracture

  4. Implant exposure, visibility, or bending

  5. Psychological anxiety

  6. Shape changes / dissatisfaction

If you are experiencing discomfort for these reasons,

functional nose removal may be necessary.

Actual cases of functional nose removal

Let me explain with a real case.

This patient underwent functional rhinoplasty at an otolaryngology clinic,

and while having surgery, also received cosmetic nose surgery using donated rib cartilage for the nasal tip.

However, the patient came to Chamin Plastic Surgery seeking removal because of a foreign body sensation

and an unnatural nose line where the bridge and tip did not connect smoothly.

After removing the donated rib cartilage transplanted to the nasal tip,

the foreign body sensation disappeared and the patient obtained a more natural nose line.

The second patient

had severe nasal congestion after nose surgery,

with one side especially blocked, making breathing difficult,

and requested removal.

Since silicone, ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and donated cartilage

had all been used, the patient underwent total nose removal,

nasal tip cartilage rearrangement, and correction of the deviated septal cartilage,

after which breathing became easier.

The last case was a man who had undergone functional nose surgery and cosmetic rhinoplasty together

and wanted early removal due to severe foreign body sensation and a heavy feeling.

Six weeks after nose surgery, early removal was performed quickly,

removing the silicone, septum, and donated rib cartilage.

Because the deviated septal cartilage had not been properly corrected,

that area was also corrected.

In this way, whether you had functional nose surgery

or cosmetic nose surgery,

there are many people who hope for removal because nasal congestion or dryness after surgery

did not improve.

When performing functional nose surgery,

if the deviated septal cartilage is corrected by excessively removing the septum,

the nasal support structure collapses and tilts,

  • saddle nose deformity

  • septal perforation

  • columellar bending

.

.

and other various symptoms may occur,

so caution is needed.

Chamin Plastic Surgery's functional nose removal

carefully removes all implants, capsules, and scar tissue

inside the nose,

and after removing the nasal tip cartilage,

forms a stable nasal structure through cartilage rearrangement

so that the nose does not collapse or change shape

after removal.

In addition,

through 3D-CT and endoscopy,

we precisely analyze the implants inside the nose, the size and shape of the septum,

and internal conditions

to establish a detailed surgical plan.

Functional nose removal, revision nose surgery

We fully understand the feelings of those who have struggled emotionally for a long time

due to repeated nose surgeries,

so Chamin Plastic Surgery does its best in caring for each and every patient.
