Revision Rhinoplasty in Seoul

A Clinic That Upholds the Principles of Plastic Surgery, 글로비성형외과의원
Upholding the fundamentals is the most important aspect of plastic surgery. Procedures should be planned with the patient's entire lifetime in mind. Both the process and the results must be safe. 글로비 always puts patients first.
Consultation is an important step that leads to surgery. To help you be satisfied with your surgical results, we promise personalized consultations with medical professionals who have extensive clinical experience.
Postoperative care can also be considered an extension of the surgery. We provide personalized care programs to help patients recover quickly.

By the time you decide to undergo revision rhinoplasty,

we understand how much thought you may have put into it.

When we meet you in the consultation room,

those feelings come through clearly.

Whether your initial surgery did not meet your expectations

or your nose changed over time,

there is a reason for each outcome.

The important point is that if you proceed again

without accurately identifying the cause,

the same result may be repeated.

That is why the first step in a revision rhinoplasty consultation

is to trace back the answer to the question,

“Why does it look this way now?”

In this article, we will summarize

from an on-site perspective

the representative causes of failure that lead to revision rhinoplasty,

along with the direction of the plan needed for each case.

Revision Rhinoplasty: Why Does the Same Failure Keep Repeating?

“I was satisfied immediately after surgery,

but my nose started to look strange

a year or two later.”

The expressions of people who first say these words

always contain a sense of injustice.

We fully understand those feelings.

However, the next choice can change only when

the exact source of that frustration is identified.

There was, in fact, a case like this.

A patient who had undergone surgery with an L-shaped silicone implant

several years earlier came to us after initially being pleased with the result,

but noticing that the tip of the nose

had gradually begun to look upturned.

Upon examining the inside, we found that the implant

had continuously pressed against the nasal tip cartilage,

leading to contracture.

Having already gone through one disappointing experience,

the patient said they were afraid of undergoing the procedure again.

After we thoroughly explained the cause and the plan,

we were able to correct the concerns through revision correction

and improve the nose to a stable structure.

People considering nasal surgery after filler injections

or thread procedures also need to exercise caution.

If surgery is performed while foreign material remains,

it can be difficult to accurately assess the condition of the internal tissues,

making it difficult to predict the outcome.

Filler should be removed first, and the implant should be planned

after the swelling has subsided for approximately five days.

When threads are also present,

the thickness must be adjusted separately according to their amount.

When only threads remain, the height of the nasal bridge

may be more than several millimeters lower than when filler is present,

so this figure must be factored into the design in advance.

Some people consider revision correction because of aesthetic concerns.

In these cases, the issue often comes down to

how precisely the initial plan was designed.

How Is a Personalized Plan Designed Differently for Each Individual?

“Do I have to use rib cartilage

just because this is revision surgery?”

It is difficult to answer this question with an unequivocal “yes.”

Rib cartilage is certainly a good material,

but choosing the material before examining the internal condition

puts the process in the wrong order.

When choosing materials for revision rhinoplasty,

there are broadly three possible directions.

If the cartilage used previously has maintained its shape internally,

repositioning alone may be sufficient without harvesting additional tissue.

If cartilage was used from only one ear, cartilage from the other ear may be used.

If only ear cartilage was used previously,

septal cartilage may also be newly utilized.

Rib cartilage becomes a practical option only when

the tissues have been damaged or the extent of correction is large,

leaving insufficient structural support.

This determination can be made accurately only after opening the area

and examining the inside directly.

If you are told from the beginning of the consultation,

“You will need rib cartilage,”

caution is warranted, as the internal condition

may not have been sufficiently reviewed.

Designing the implant for a close fit

is another variable that can easily be overlooked in revision correction.

If the nasal bridge and tip still feel disconnected after correction,

the cause is usually that the implant

has not properly settled onto the contours of the bone.

A customized implant made based on CT data

and tailored to the individual's bone structure

is advantageous for addressing this issue structurally.

Recovery care also needs to be managed specifically.

Because revision rhinoplasty is performed

with internal scar tissue already formed,

swelling may subside more slowly

than after the initial surgery.

For up to three months after surgery,

avoid activities that place pressure on the nose.

When sleeping, keeping your head

higher than your heart can make a practical difference

in both swelling and the speed of recovery.

Revision rhinoplasty requires

more precise analysis of the cause and planning

than the first surgery.

If the cause of the failure is not identified before proceeding,

the same result may be repeated.

This is why 글로비 conducts revision surgery consultations

with particular care.

Because our principle is to provide accurate and honest information,

including possible complications and the limitations of the materials,

we recommend first confirming an accurate plan

suited to your individual circumstances.
