Correcting Mary Contracted Nose Revision Surgery to Find the Cause and Prevent Recurrence

Hello. We are Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, pursuing natural and beautiful changes.

Among the facial features, the nose is definitely the area where three-dimensionality matters the most.

When viewed from the front, the shape of the nose is important, but depending on the angle, height, length, and line from the side, the image can vary greatly.

In particular, if the nose is short and upturned, the lower part of the face can appear noticeably longer, making the overall facial proportions look unnatural.

If this kind of short nose appears as a result of rhinoplasty performed to change your original appearance, the disappointment can be beyond words.

The problem is not simply that the shape is unsatisfactory, but that the nose becomes shorter due to a postoperative side effect known as contracture.

Contracture refers to a symptom in which, after nasal surgery, the skin shrinks because it recognizes artificial implants such as silicone as foreign substances or due to inflammation, becoming shorter and tighter while the nasal tip lifts upward.

Because of this, the desire to quickly improve contracture is understandable, but for revision surgery, it is important to prevent the same problem from recurring through sufficient consultation and to achieve stable results.

Can surgery be performed right away if contracture occurs?

As mentioned above, contracture is mostly likely to be associated with chronic inflammation.

In such cases, it is important to first address the inflammation that is causing the contracture.

The key is to remove all of the causative foreign material and then undergo revision surgery after the inflammation has subsided and the nasal tissue has sufficiently recovered.

Once the inflammation and contracture have eased to some extent, the skin condition should be checked to see whether nasal lengthening is possible.

If the skin stretches normally, surgery can be considered, but if adhesions have not been released and the skin does not stretch, the same problem is likely to recur even after surgery, so caution is needed.

What is Mary contracture nose revision surgery like?

For this reason, our clinic first helps patients who have difficulty with lengthening because the adhesions in the nose have not been released by providing treatment to loosen the skin adhesion through stem cell therapy, along with sufficient consultation.

Afterwards, once the skin has stretched enough, Mary contracture nose revision surgery can be expected to help prevent the same problem from recurring.

Most cases of contracture are caused by inflammation that occurs because the body recognizes the artificial implant used in the first surgery as a foreign substance.

In such cases, the previously used implant can be removed, and by using autologous tissue, a natural-looking and beautifully lengthened nose can be expected.

If inflammation occurred when an autologous implant was used in the first surgery, there is a possibility that the autologous tissue was not the cause.

In situations like this, we focus on identifying the cause and making use of the previously used cartilage rather than harvesting additional cartilage, aiming to achieve aesthetic satisfaction while avoiding unnecessary treatment.

Preventing recurrence through systematic analysis is key

At Mary, our medical team with extensive surgical experience strives to provide dedicated care from consultation and analysis to surgery and post-operative management.

This allows patients to find the right timing for Mary contracture nose revision surgery with a medical team that has a deep understanding of their nose.

In particular, when it comes to the nose, it is not only the visible appearance that matters; the internal structure and function must also be examined.

Before surgery, 3D CT and a 3D remodeling program are used to three-dimensionally analyze the skeletal structure of the nose, the condition of the septal cartilage, the degree of nasal deviation, the inferior turbinate, and more, helping to expect surgery with an ideal nose line tailored to each individual and greater precision.

There are also various cases of Mary contracture nose revision surgery for other people who had similar concerns.

If you would like a personalized consultation, we recommend visiting the clinic for a consultation.
