A Clinic That Also Considers the Functional Aspects of Contracted Nose Revision Surgery

The nose, the center of the face,

can determine an impression even through subtle differences depending on its shape.

Rhinoplasty should consider not only facial balance

but also the functional elements inside the nose.

In some cases, people are dissatisfied with both the appearance and function after their first surgery,

and the trend of seeking revision surgery more often than the initial surgery is increasing.

In particular, due to functional issues, the proportion of contracted nose revision surgeries has also increased.

Here, a contracted nose refers to a condition in which the tissue is transformed into scar tissue due to inflammation resulting from repeated nose surgeries

or complications from implants, such as foreign-body sensation, infection, and redness,

causing the tip of the nose to turn upward or become twisted.

The most common cause of a contracted nose

is an inflammatory reaction such as a foreign-body response or infection to an artificial implant.

At April 31 Plastic Surgery,

when performing contracted nose revision surgery, we use autologous tissue or autologous dermis

instead of artificial materials such as silicone implants,

and apply methods that can help prevent recurrence.

Even in severe cases of contracted nose, improvement is possible if an accurate diagnosis and a precise

surgical plan are established.

Is contracted nose revision surgery safe and free from recurrence?

YES,

because the cause of contracted nose is mostly

a foreign-body reaction to an implant or an infection,

April 31 Plastic Surgery uses autologous tissue or autologous dermis

to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Autologous tissue rhinoplasty is a method of using your own tissue

to raise the bridge of the nose or improve the shape of the nasal tip.

Autologous tissue may include ear cartilage, septal cartilage, rib cartilage,

or autologous dermal tissue, autologous fascial tissue, and more.

Because your own autologous tissue is used,

there is no inflammation from a foreign-body reaction, and recurrence of contraction can be prevented. Contracted nose revision surgery is one of the more difficult types of revision rhinoplasty,

so an accurate diagnosis and surgery by a specialist with extensive surgical experience

are necessary to expect a successful outcome.

Consider contracted nose revision surgery in these cases!

✔ If the nostrils are very visible and the nose is upturned

✔ If the nose has become stiff and does not move, and feels hard

✔ If the nose is red or feels warm

✔ If there is a bad smell inside the nose or discomfort

✔ If you feel pulling or pain in the nose

✔ If implant boundaries have become visible

✔ If the silicone is bent or has moved toward the glabella, making the glabella appear high

At April 31 Plastic Surgery, when performing contracted nose revision surgery,

advanced fluoroscopic equipment and 3D-CT imaging are used

to identify even the functional aspects inside the nose,

allowing for a more detailed analysis and more accurate prediction of results.

※ Why 3D-CT is needed

① Accurate diagnosis of the functional aspects inside the nose is possible

② Results can be checked immediately with a short scan time

③ Safe surgery is possible by identifying the functional aspects of the nose

In addition, a rhinoplasty specialist provides customized one-on-one responsible care

from consultation to surgery and post-operative management.
