Nose Revision Surgery Review: How to Avoid a Disaster #1HourDesign #ContractedNose #Dr. Lee Kyung-mook

When performing nose surgery or eye surgery, Dr. Lee Kyung-mook spends 1 hour just on design.

He is the kind of person who does not worry about the time it takes until a high-quality design that fits each individual perfectly is created.

In this post, we will take a look at 'Nose Revision Surgery Review: How to Avoid Failure' through Dr. Lee Kyung-mook's perspective.

Reasons for consultation for nose revision surgery

People who want to change the shape to suit their own style

When surgery went wrong: the silicone shifted or the nose tip shifted

When inflammation occurs: since inflammation is more of a 'removal' procedure rather than revision surgery, it is not considered a case of re-surgery.

There are cases where treatment with medication or injections is possible, but if the inflammation is severe, revision surgery is possible at least 6 months after removal. Inflammation is not the cause of revision surgery.

Preferred nose shapes

• About 5 years ago: Many people brought photos of celebrities with a high nasal bridge, or celebrity photos and asked to have the same look.

• Recently: In addition to celebrity photos, many people bring photos of Instagram influencers. Preferences differ from person to person.

♣ A beautiful nose according to Dr. Lee Kyung-mook

Women: raise the bridge naturally and make the tip sharp. Design the nasolabial angle at around 100° to 105°

Men: making the tip too pointed reduces masculinity, so more emphasis is placed on the bridge rather than the tip. Design the nasolabial angle at around 95°.

※ Nasolabial angle: the angle formed by the columella and the philtrum (ideal angle: 95° to 100°)

Number of possible nose surgeries

There is no fixed number, but revision surgery is possible at least 6 months after surgery, and surgery is possible when the nose feels soft and elastic when touched. However, if it feels hard, more recovery time is needed, so you must wait a little longer. In other words, there is no clear set number.

The decision for revision surgery is made based on the patient's condition and the softness of the nose.

Cases where nose revision surgery is not possible

• When the columella has sunk inward: If contraction has occurred and the mucous membrane has shrunk, it is difficult to restore. Even if you want a beautiful nose shape, it does not stretch and the columella does not 내려 come down, so satisfaction is low. Forcing the columella down carries a risk of necrosis.

• When the septum has perforated and there is a hole: To raise the nasal tip, a support must be built, but a support cannot be placed. This is because the support would be exposed outside.

Contracted nose

Nose revision surgery is possible.

If the nostrils are showing due to contraction, it is often because the cartilage at the lower part of the nose is stuck to the upper cartilage, or because the silicone and capsule are pulling the nasal tip. In this case, after an incision, releasing or removing the capsule and removing the silicone, then loosening the cartilage downward makes it possible to restore the shape.

In severe contraction, if the nose is twisted, the skin is indented, or the skin looks as if it has been burned, the results are not good even if surgery is performed.

If it is simply a contracted nose stage where only the nostrils are lifted, the shape can be sufficiently corrected again.

Uneven nostrils

If the nostrils are asymmetric after revision surgery, you should compare the condition before and after surgery.

Just as all faces are rarely perfectly symmetrical, the nostrils are the same. However, if the nostrils were the same before surgery, correction is possible. If the asymmetry was congenital, correction is difficult.

Do silicone implants need to be replaced regularly?

It can be used long term without replacement, but caution is needed in the case of L-shaped silicone.

Although the bridge and the tip of the nose should ideally use different materials, L-shaped silicone uses silicone for both the bridge and the tip. If the skin is thick, it may be fine, but if the skin is thin, over time the silicone can break through the nasal tip.

※ Behind-the-scenes story: If a surgery does not satisfy him, he keeps worrying about it so much that he cannot sleep after going home, so he continues the surgery until he is satisfied. As a result, there is a humorous behind-the-scenes story that the staff sometimes cover the patient's nose when the doctor keeps worrying, and he also earned the nickname 'master craftsman of nose surgery.'
