Rhinoplasty Side Effects and Inflammation (Tip from a Plastic Surgeon)

Hello, this is Objet Plastic Surgery.

Many people who are considering rhinoplasty worry a lot about the side effects that can occur after surgery.

“What if I need revision surgery after rhinoplasty?”

“What if a problem happens after rhinoplasty?”

Because of these concerns, some people have trouble making a decision, and there are also people who are actually looking for a rhinoplasty revision clinic because of side effects.

Since many patients are afraid of rhinoplasty side effects, each clinic makes various efforts to reduce them.

Objet is no different.

At Objet, Director Lee Kyung-mook performs many rhinoplasty procedures. Director Lee Kyung-mook creates nose shapes that harmonize with the patient’s face, and many patients are satisfied because there are fewer side effects after surgery.

The reason side effects are less frequent is that Director Lee Kyung-mook has been making various efforts based on long years of clinical experience gained from operating on many patients.

I’ll explain in more detail what Director Lee Kyung-mook does to reduce rhinoplasty side effects.

Why does inflammation occur after rhinoplasty?

Many people worry that side effects may occur after rhinoplasty. In fact, some people even look for a rhinoplasty revision clinic because side effects have happened.

The goal of rhinoplasty is to create a beautiful nose that suits the patient well. But it is also important to perform surgery carefully so that there are no side effects.

One thing that requires particular attention is preventing inflammation during surgery.

In fact, inflammation is unpredictable. No matter how cleanly and carefully surgery is performed, inflammation can still occur.

Even so, reducing inflammatory reactions is important because recovery after rhinoplasty is faster and discomfort is reduced when inflammation does not occur.

That is why Director Lee Kyung-mook considers reducing inflammation to be extremely important during rhinoplasty.

Why is that? It is obvious: if there is a lot of bleeding, the likelihood of inflammation also increases.

That is why Director Lee Kyung-mook carefully plans the surgery in advance to reduce inflammatory reactions. He calculates the incision range in detail to minimize bleeding. In fact, patients who undergo surgery with Director Lee Kyung-mook tend to have fewer inflammatory reactions and recover faster.

Rhinoplasty inflammation and side effects: Why do they happen?

Is it because ○○ is weak?

I mentioned that Director Lee Kyung-mook makes various efforts to reduce the burden of side effects for patients. In particular, he pays close attention to controlling bleeding in order to reduce inflammatory reactions. In addition, to reduce inflammation, surgery is performed in a way that dissects while preserving tissue over the cartilage.

Human skin is maintained by receiving nutrients from blood vessels. Even bone seems to have no blood vessels, but there are blood vessels inside the bone, which supply nutrients.

However, cartilage has no blood vessels.

If cartilage does not receive nutrients, it would become dry and weak. So where does cartilage get its nutrients from?

Cartilage receives nutrients not from blood vessels, but from the tissue covering it around it through a process called diffusion.

Diffusion refers to the movement of atoms or molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

In other words, if the surrounding tissue is dissected away, cartilage cannot receive nutrients.

Cartilage is often used in rhinoplasty, right? The bridge of the nose is often made with silicone, and the tip is often shaped using cartilage. If all of the tissue attached to the cartilage used in rhinoplasty is stripped away, the cartilage cannot receive nutrients and will inevitably weaken. This also greatly increases the possibility of side effects.

As cartilage gradually weakens because it cannot receive nutrients, its strength decreases, and in some cases revision surgery becomes necessary.

Objet is also well known as a rhinoplasty revision clinic, so many patients visit for revision surgery. When examining the noses of such patients closely, there are often cases where side effects occurred because the cartilage did not receive proper nutrients and became weak in strength.

Also, if cartilage lacks nutrients, it has less strength to resist bacteria, which increases the likelihood of side effects. If it receives enough nutrients, immunity improves and concerns about infection can also be reduced.

That is why Director Lee Kyung-mook performs surgery in a way that preserves as much tissue attached to the cartilage as possible, reducing the risk of side effects so that patients can have satisfying rhinoplasty and avoid the need for revision surgery.

Silicone bent after rhinoplasty?

Did something go wrong with the rhinoplasty?

Among the patients who come to a rhinoplasty revision clinic, many say that their nose has become crooked. They say that after rhinoplasty, it seemed fine at first, but over time the silicone gradually bent and blocked the airway, making breathing difficult.

The cause of silicone bending after rhinoplasty can actually be attributed to the patient’s own nasal condition.

People who experience this side effect usually have a bent underlying nasal structure.

Even if it looks normal from the outside, the inside of the nose can be crooked. The way to check this is simple: put a finger into the nostril and feel it. Some people will find that the inside of the nose is crooked when they touch it with a finger. This happens because the septum is bent to one side.

In such cases, if silicone is inserted and the nose is raised, the underlying base is already crooked, so over time the silicone naturally bends as well.

So if someone has a crooked nose, will rhinoplasty always make it crooked? Not necessarily. It is possible to perform rhinoplasty in a way that prevents silicone from bending by first aligning the nose’s underlying structure to the center. However, because this process involves breaking the nasal bone, it is not something we easily recommend. If the nose’s underlying base is broken, the nose becomes very weak, and there is no way to know what problems may arise afterward.

Does that mean rhinoplasty cannot be done? Not at all. Fortunately, even a crooked nose can be made into a beautiful nose line.

The method Director Lee Kyung-mook most recommends is to perform rhinoplasty naturally from the beginning, in a way that suits the structure of one’s own nose.

For people with a crooked nasal base, if surgery is performed with excessive silicone, the bending of the silicone can become visibly noticeable. Also, as the silicone bends, it can block the airway inside the nose and make breathing difficult.

To avoid these side effects, surgery should be performed naturally and harmoniously according to the patient’s own basic nasal structure.

A detailed explanation of surgical methods for crooked noses and the side effects after surgery has already been covered in a previous post. If you are considering rhinoplasty because your nose is crooked, please check the post below.^^

When performing rhinoplasty, it is important not only to create a beautiful nose, but also to operate in a way that leaves the patient with no need to worry about side effects after surgery.

Because the patient has to bear the burden of side effects after rhinoplasty, Director Lee Kyung-mook at Objet Plastic Surgery works to reduce the factors that could cause concern after surgery.

He reduces bleeding to minimize inflammatory reactions, and performs rhinoplasty by dissecting tissue as much as possible so that the cartilage does not weaken.

However, to reduce the risk of side effects, there are a few things patients should also do. The most important point is to avoid increasing pressure on the face so that the rhinoplasty area is not stimulated.

Until the surgical area stabilizes, reducing stimulation is necessary to lower the risk of side effects.

For about 3 months, it is best to avoid activities such as swimming or diving that allow water to enter the nose. It is also best to avoid exercises that strain the face, such as weight training and CrossFit.

A light walk helps improve swelling and heal wounds, so if you want to exercise, a 30-minute walk would be good.^^

Today, I explained in detail what efforts Director Lee Kyung-mook at Objet makes to reduce side effects after rhinoplasty.
