[April 31 Plastic Surgery Clinic] After a second nose surgery, did you start having more runny nose?

Hello.

This is April 31 Plastic Surgery Clinic.

All surgeries carry the possibility of side effects.

In the case of nose surgery or revision nose surgery, there can be side effects such as inflammation or contracture that require treatment,

and there are also mild symptoms that settle down quickly on their own.

Among cases that are not severe enough to require another surgery but still cause some discomfort, one example is having more runny nose after revision nose surgery.

So, can a runny nose really become worse after revision nose surgery?

Let’s find out with the clinic’s chief director, #Dr. Kim Jae-hoon!

Nose surgery is often performed to improve one or more problems involving aesthetic or functional factors.

Aesthetic factors are addressed to match one’s standards of beauty, while functional factors are considered to improve representative nose-related conditions such as rhinitis.

Q. My runny nose has increased. Could nose surgery be the cause?

A. It may have an effect, but it is not a serious side effect that requires treatment, such as inflammation. In my personal opinion, it improves naturally over time as the body adapts.

In this patient’s case, after revision nose surgery, the amount of nasal discharge increased, but airflow inside the nose actually improved.

The reason was that removing the thick costal cartilage present on both sides made the breathing passage larger.

Because the airway for breathing became wider, more air enters functionally than before, and as the amount of air increases, a whirlpool-like turbulent flow can form inside the nose.

At this time, people often say that nasal discharge builds up more than usual or that there is a smell.

Rather than viewing these symptoms as a problem with the surgery itself, it may be better to understand them first as something that can naturally appear due to the changed nasal structure after surgery.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about it in the same way as issues such as inflammation or contracture, which require immediate action. It is acceptable to view it as a phenomenon that can improve sufficiently as the body adapts naturally over time.

However, there may be clear differences depending on the individual, so it is important to carefully check the severity of the symptoms and have thorough consultations with the doctor in charge, along with appropriate prescriptions and treatment as needed.
