Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

I’ll answer the questions you’ve been curious about.

Q. Is there an appropriate time for revision nose surgery? Can’t it be done right away?

A.

It may vary depending on the situation, but in general, I would say six months after the first surgery.

If you have consulted about revision surgery, you may have often heard this six-month guideline.

The reason we use six months as the standard is that, in general, scar tissue goes through inflammation and proliferation and then enters a maturation stage,

and we consider this to be the time when it becomes stable.

If surgery is performed before these six months, that is, before the scar tissue has matured to some extent, the surgery itself becomes somewhat more difficult,

and it can also have a negative effect on the future formation of scar tissue.

Of course, regardless of this guideline, there are cases where early active correction is necessary.

For example, if blood has collected immediately after surgery or infection is suspected,

or if the implant is significantly bent and it is judged better to correct its position before it settles, early correction would be advisable.
