From Nose Implant Removal Surgery to Nose Reconstruction, Closing the Chapter at Garnet Plastic Surgery

When it comes to making a first impression,

an attractive appearance is undoubtedly important.

Among the many factors,

the nose is located at the center of the face,

so depending on the angle, height, and length of the tip,

the overall impression can change.

For this reason, these days,

people undergo nose surgery for various reasons,

such as self-satisfaction or to resolve a complex.

� However, after nose surgery using an implant,

if problems such as inflammation occur,

leading to pain, swelling,

and changes in shape,

a nose implant removal surgery and

revision surgery for shape reconstruction

can be considered absolutely necessary.

�

In particular, if the tip of the nose becomes red and hard,

and the nose starts to turn upward, resembling

what is commonly called a snub nose or pig nose,

you should suspect contracture nose.

Among the side effects of nose surgery,

contracture nose is considered one of the worst,

and due to its twisted shape and functional discomfort,

it can make social life difficult

and become a major source of stress.

Therefore, if these symptoms appear,

you should visit a hospital immediately and check the treatment plan after

nose implant removal surgery, etc.

�

Implant removal can be performed not only when nose reconstruction surgery

is needed for contracture nose, but also in various cases such as

when the implant moves or is about to protrude,

when the skin is too thin and the implant shows through,

or when the shape is unsatisfactory.

� Meanwhile, because artificial implants are recognized by our body

as foreign substances, inflammatory reactions can cause scar tissue to form

and the nose can gradually become contracture nose through repeated healing!

These symptoms occur in about 2.5�3% of all patients who undergo nose surgery,

so they are not very common,

but if, depending on the individual's constitution, implants such as silicone

do not suit the body,

a revision surgery will be necessary.

�

When an implant causes problems,

the nose implant removal surgery is performed first.

At this time, based on the detailed analysis of a board-certified plastic surgeon,

it is most important to minimize the incision area and design the procedure so that

the surrounding tissue and inflamed tissue are separated,

thereby minimizing damage to the surrounding normal tissue.

�

Nose implant removal surgery is carefully performed as a customized procedure

suited to each patient's symptoms,

and by removing the cause of the problem,

it becomes possible to reconstruct the nose line originally desired.

The timing for implant removal and nose revision surgery should be set

with at least a 6-month interval from the previous surgery,

after the internal tissues have stabilized,

in order to prevent additional side effects.

� In addition, when performing nose revision surgery,

especially if it is a revision due to contracture nose,

a sufficient amount of skin is needed.

That is because the raised nose must be lowered enough to create

the ideal line.

�

If you are considering nose implant removal surgery and shape reconstruction,

it is a good idea to make a decision through consultation about

whether you have enough skin volume

and what kind of implant should be used to achieve the line you want.

� At Garnet Plastic Surgery, autologous tissue nose revision surgery

using autologous cartilage, dermis, and other materials is being performed,

and compared with artificial implants,

it significantly reduces the concern about side effects

and can produce a natural result.

So if you are thinking about nose reconstruction,

autologous tissue may also be worth considering.
