Where Is a Good Place for Revision Rhinoplasty? What Is the Right Choice?

Revision rhinoplasty! What Is the Right Choice?

The nose plays an aesthetically important role as a part of the body, to the point that the overall impression of the face changes depending on its height and line. Nose enhancement refers to a method of artificially changing the shape and height of the nose by inserting an implant inside the nose, and depending on the direction of the desired change, it can address a variety of concerns such as a bulbous nose, nasal tip, crooked nose, or higher nasal bridge. However, if nose enhancement is pursued too aggressively in an attempt to create an excessively high or sharp line, various problems can occur.

Among the many ways to improve appearance, nose enhancement has a relatively high rate of requiring reoperation because of problems. Since many people undergo nose enhancement and the medical team’s technique and aesthetic sense determine the outcome, even if you are satisfied with the results at first, problems such as the tip being lifted or the implant moving excessively can arise over time. In cases where the nose is enhanced again after an initial failure, the procedure involves replacing the internal implant and redesigning the nose shape. There are various issues such as dissatisfaction because it does not look natural, inflammation due to a mismatch in size, or a crooked or protruding nasal bridge.

Revision nose surgery is more difficult than the first surgery because function and appearance must be improved at the same time in a state where an inflammatory reaction or structural deformation has occurred. In other words, the procedure must be tailored to each person’s facial features and facial contour to prevent a situation where another revision is needed because of an unnatural result. That is why people want to choose a place known for doing revision rhinoplasty well in order to get good results.

The reasons for choosing a place known for revision rhinoplasty well vary depending on each case. But above all, the important thing is to proceed with the appropriate method according to the cause.

If the nasal bridge is crooked, it is best to create equal space on both sides for the implant and insert it.

If the implant moves, it is precisely placed under the periosteum and fixed.

If the implant shows through, it is improved by wrapping the implant once with the temporal fascia before insertion; in severe cases, only autologous dermis or cartilage is used to raise it.

If the nasal bridge is too low or too high, the height of the implant used is raised or lowered in consideration of the overall facial proportions, allowing a simple correction.

If the boundary of the implant becomes visible along both sides of the nose, and this is caused by a mismatch with the base of the bone, the implant is carved to match the base and both sides are smoothed before being reinserted. If the skin has become thin, correction is performed to reinforce the thin skin.

If the nasal tip is hard and does not move, the implant length is adjusted before the tip turns red and deforms, or a dynamic tip procedure is used to lower a lifted tip.

Among the reasons for choosing a place known for revision rhinoplasty, in the case of a lifted nasal tip, simply lowering the tip with autologous cartilage may allow it to rise again over time. At 4월31일 Plastic Surgery, through dynamic nasal tip surgery, autologous cartilage is used to lower the tip and is firmly fixed to the alar cartilage of the nasal tip to prevent it from rising over time, while improving the tip more naturally.

To accurately identify the cause in each case, detailed examinations are important. For choosing a place known for revision rhinoplasty, it is important to go to a clinic that uses 3D-CT to understand the current condition of the nose as well as the structure of the bones and soft tissue at the same time, and to plan the most suitable plan for each patient.

We hope you can receive revision rhinoplasty without regrets through the right choice with the plastic surgery specialists in charge of rhinoplasty at 4월31일 Plastic Surgery, Chief Director Kim Jae-hoon and Dr. Park Seong-wan.

4월31일 Plastic Surgery, which opened in Nonhyeon Station in 1999, moved to its new building near Hakdong Station on April 6, 2020 in order to continue a new 20 years of better safety and system-based medical care.
