Nasal Contracture Revision Rhinoplasty Review: Thorough Treatment Starting with Symptoms

Hello. We are Oziko Hospital & Plus, thinking only of your beautiful and healthy nose.

The content introduced this time is about reviews of revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture.

Among the features of our face, the nose is located at the center and, at first glance, stands out as the most three-dimensional part of our facial features. It also plays the role of balancing the overall face. Therefore, when the nose is low, upturned, crooked, or has an uneven bridge, people try various methods such as makeup or filming techniques to improve it, but since it is difficult to replace, many people attempt plastic surgery for a more satisfying nasal shape.

Accordingly, some people are satisfied with the changes after the first surgery, but there are also people who choose revision rhinoplasty because of dissatisfaction with the shape, and people who necessarily need revision rhinoplasty due to inflammation or nasal contracture are collecting information about reviews of revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture.

The nose plays an important aesthetic role in our body, but it is also a very important organ functionally, as it is responsible for breathing and the sense of smell. However, when people consider rhinoplasty, they often approach the cosmetic side first, so not everyone ends up satisfied. In cases of dissatisfaction with the shape, people pursue a result they are happy with by choice, but for those considering revision surgery due to nasal contracture or inflammation, it is a procedure that must be done out of necessity rather than choice. Therefore, only after careful and thorough research can it become a satisfactory review of revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture.

What are the symptoms of nasal contracture? After nose surgery, if the implant is recognized as a foreign substance in the body or if inflammation occurs and is left untreated in the early stages, excessive scar tissue forms inside, causing the nose to harden and contract. In other words, it means a contracted nose.

If you look at reviews of revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture, the tissue is damaged because contracture or inflammation has progressed, and the causes are also diverse. So after analyzing the cause well and providing appropriate treatment, revision surgery can be performed. We recommend having it done at a place where the medical team has a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose and can accurately examine your nose based on extensive experience and careers.

At N Plus, we perform detailed examinations for a satisfactory review of revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture. After 3D-CT imaging and internal endoscopic examination, we analyze and identify the fundamental problem. Based on the detailed examination data, we provide specialist consultations, safely remove the implant that caused the inflammatory reaction, and then restore the damaged tissue through treatment tailored to each individual before performing revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture. In general, it is safest to perform revision rhinoplasty at least 6 months to 1 year after the last surgery. However, when symptoms of nasal contracture occur due to implant inflammatory reactions or other causes, we are carrying out revision rhinoplasty as soon as possible by restoring the damaged tissue around the nose through a systematic regenerative treatment program in order to move up the timing of revision surgery.

Therefore, we provide treatment according to programs based on the degree of contracture symptoms. When the symptoms are mild, we perform PDRN injection treatment. PDRN is a DNA fragment extracted and processed from salmon DNA. PDRN is effective for tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation, so if the contracture symptoms are not severe, it is the treatment program considered first.

The second treatment method, used when contracture symptoms are severe, is stem cell therapy. Stem cell therapy is a program in which stem cells extracted from the patient's adipose tissue are separated, concentrated, made into an injectable product, and then the injection procedure is received periodically. Stem cell injection treatment is carried out intensively for about 1 to 2 months, and the timing for revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture is determined according to the patient's tissue regeneration speed.

Lastly, at N Plus, for cosmetic revision rhinoplasty performed after treatment for nasal contracture is completed, it is important to minimize the use of implants and to supplement deficient skin caused by damage with autologous skin grafting. To minimize an artificial feeling after nose surgery, we do not use mass-produced implants as they are; instead, we carefully shape the implant ourselves after considering various aspects such as the individual’s overall image, the width and length of the nasal bridge, and the width of the nasal tip. Therefore, we create a natural nose line without awkwardness, from the glabella-to-nasal bridge line, which may feel somewhat foreign, to the nasal tip line.

That concludes the information we provided about N Plus’s review of revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture. We hope this article is of great help to those who are considering revision surgery because their nose feels upturned or inflammation has occurred after nose surgery. Thank you^^
