From materials to methods for contracted nose surgery, essential tips!

Hello, this is Obje Plastic Surgery.

It’s been a while since my nose surgery, but my nose shape has changed from how it looked at first..

Can I get revision surgery for a contracted nose?

For the first few years after nose surgery, you may be satisfied with the result, but over time there are cases where the tip gradually turns up and the nose begins to look shorter. This symptom is called contracture.

When a contracted nose develops, the shape of the nose changes, which also alters the overall impression of the face, and functional problems such as difficulty breathing can occur. Because of this, many people look for places that are good at revision surgery for contracted noses in order to improve the problem.

Nose surgery itself is not easy, and revision surgery often involves many more factors to consider, so it can be even more difficult. As a result, choosing a clinic is not easy.

What points do clinics that are good at revision surgery for contracted noses consider when performing the operation? We’ll explain the important points of contracted nose surgery one by one, so if you’re worried about a contracted nose, don’t miss this post.

After nose surgery, contracture?

It’s caused by ○○.

Do you know what the most frightening complication of nose surgery is?

It is inflammation.

If inflammation occurs after nose surgery, swelling lasts longer and recovery is delayed. Because of this, we often tell patients to be careful to prevent inflammation after nose surgery.

The reason inflammation is scary is not only because recovery slows down. Inflammation itself can cause contracture, so it is very dangerous.

When nose surgery is performed, silicone is inserted to raise the bridge of the nose. When foreign materials such as silicone enter the body, cells such as white blood cells surround the foreign material and form a thin capsule. This is a natural physiological reaction of the body and is not a problem.

However, if there is inflammation, the story changes.

If inflammation is present, the capsule continues to form and gradually thickens, which causes the silicone to shrink.

The nose is all connected from the bridge to the dorsum and the tip. Because of this, if the silicone used in the bridge becomes shorter, the tip of the nose lifts, and eventually the shape of the nose changes.

Not everyone who has nose surgery develops contracture. However, if the tip of the nose turns red and inflammation develops after surgery, or if the tip seems to be gradually lifting, you should suspect contracture.

In this case, it is a good idea to consult a plastic surgeon who is good at revision surgery for a contracted nose.

Is revision surgery for a contracted nose only possible with rib cartilage?

Then how can a contracted nose be improved?

First, the foreign material that caused the contracture must be removed. However, this process is not easy.

When contracture has occurred, the foreign material is strongly adhered to the skin, so it must be removed carefully, piece by piece. Also, because the mucosa has become thin and bleeding can occur easily, the foreign material must be removed while delicately controlling the bleeding.

Once all the foreign material has been removed, the bridge and tip of the nose must be rebuilt.

Many people think that only your own rib cartilage can be used for revision surgery on a contracted nose.

However, what matters in revision surgery for a contracted nose is not your own rib cartilage. Regardless of which cartilage is used, a lifted tip can be brought down.

If you want a natural-looking nose shape, ear cartilage can be used; if you want a higher, more defined nose shape, revision surgery can be performed using your own rib cartilage or donor rib cartilage.

What is important, however, is the technique used to secure the lifted tip so that it does not lift again.

Dr. Lee Kyung-mok, the CEO of Obje Plastic Surgery, performs nose surgery using a technique that presses down the tip so that it does not rise again, regardless of the materials used in revision surgery for a contracted nose.

In particular, Dr. Lee Kyung-mok carefully performs nose surgery to repay the patients who chose him. After finishing the first stage of the nose surgery, he first closes the incision and then decides whether to finish the operation or refine it further. He ends the surgery only when he is confident that the patient will have no regrets about choosing him.

Thanks to Dr. Lee Kyung-mok’s efforts, not only has satisfaction with nose surgery increased, but I think this is also why Obje Plastic Surgery is said to be a place that is good at revision surgery for contracted noses.

The most important thing in revision surgery for a contracted nose is the surgeon’s technique—someone who can fully understand the patient and the patient’s concerns and turn what the patient wants into the surgical result.

Rather than focusing on the cost of surgery, the size of the clinic, or the surgical materials, I recommend finding a medical team that can accurately diagnose your condition and find the right solution.

Before that, I strongly recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with revision surgery for contracted noses.

At Obje Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lee Kyung-mok, the CEO, who has extensive experience with revision surgery for contracted noses, accurately diagnoses the current condition of the nose and creates a customized surgical plan. If you don’t know where to go for a place that is good at revision surgery for contracted noses, I hope you will get an accurate diagnosis through a consultation with Dr. Lee Kyung-mok at Obje Plastic Surgery.

Thank you for staying with me until the end of this long post.
