Nose Revision Surgery Review Considering Function as Well

Hello. We are Ojiko N+ Plus Clinic, which has spent only the past 16 years focusing on your beautiful and healthy nose.

What we will introduce this time is a review of nose revision surgery that also takes function into account.

These days, with the saying that appearance is also a kind of qualification, many people are highly interested in their looks. For that reason, many look into cosmetic procedures as a way to improve what they feel is lacking in their current appearance. Among them, rhinoplasty is especially popular because even a small change to the nose can have a big effect on improving the overall image. However, while some people are satisfied with the changes after their first surgery, others who did not get the shape they expected through cosmetic surgery end up looking for information about nose revision surgery reviews as they consider another operation.

Therefore, among those looking into nose revision surgery reviews are people who need revision surgery for various reasons, such as dissatisfaction with the appearance of the nose, problems with nasal function, inflammation, or contracture. They may refer to review posts and find noses similar to their own, but because the causes differ in revision cases, the surgical methods and materials also vary. For that reason, it is essential to first check the condition of your own nose and then learn the exact details through a consultation.

Therefore, when undergoing rhinoplasty, the cosmetic approach is generally prioritized. However, the nose is located at the center of the face and plays an important role in balancing the features, while also being responsible for breathing and the sense of smell, so it is also an organ of great functional importance.

Therefore, if you are looking into nose revision surgery reviews, we recommend that you gather information even more carefully than for the first surgery, with function in mind as well.

When considering functional improvement through rhinoplasty, the most typical symptom may be nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis affects more than 70% of Korean adults. Of the cases commonly known as allergic rhinitis, about 20% fall into that category, while the remaining 80% are structural rhinitis caused by abnormalities in the internal structure. Structural rhinitis includes a deviated septum, nasal valve stenosis, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. These conditions all interfere with the flow of air entering the nose and cause nasal congestion, but because each condition is different, the surgical method also differs, so an accurate diagnosis is necessary. On the other hand, allergic rhinitis is a disease that is difficult to cure completely, so consistent medication treatment or improved immunity can be expected to provide temporary symptom relief.

So if you look through nose revision surgery reviews, you may find that functional surgery is additionally performed in some cases. This is because if the first surgery was performed with a cosmetic approach only, functional problems may be recognized only after the operation, making revision surgery necessary.

As mentioned earlier, the nose has a more complex internal structure than it appears from the outside. When looking into nose revision surgery reviews, the cause of the first surgery’s failure must be accurately analyzed and the revision procedure must be carried out accordingly. Compared with other areas, it can therefore be helpful to carefully check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have sufficient experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether follow-up care is reliably guaranteed.

At Ojiko N+ Plus Clinic, to help ensure a nose revision surgery review without failure, we precisely assess and analyze the inside of the nose through preoperative 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, various high-function tests, and allergy tests. Based on the extracted data, we establish a surgical plan and determine the method and materials to perform a personalized nose revision surgery for each individual.

As for nose revision surgery methods, silicone is generally used for the bridge and autologous cartilage for the tip. In revision cases, however, the surgical method is chosen according to the cause of the revision, so different methods and materials are used depending on the individual’s condition.

Autologous cartilage commonly used for the tip includes ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. The material is also selected through preoperative testing so that the surgery uses the most suitable material for the individual. If surgery with autologous cartilage is unavoidably difficult, donated rib cartilage approved by the U.S. FDA is used as an alternative.

Also, the silicone used for the bridge is not simply a pre-made product used as is. Instead, it is carefully shaped by hand while considering the individual’s overall image, the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, and then used. Even during revision surgery, the procedure is designed with a line that suits the individual and does not look artificial, which can lead to a more satisfying nose revision surgery review.

At Ojiko N+ Plus Clinic, we identify the cause of the first surgery’s failure through accurate analysis, refine the revision method, and introduce a systematic aftercare system to carefully manage scarring and swelling that may worsen after revision surgery. We aim for safe and satisfying nose revision surgery reviews. Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles all processes one-on-one, from consultation regarding nose revision surgery to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up examinations.

For aftercare as well, an N+ Plus membership card is issued, and we operate a repair service system that guarantees one year of post-surgery coverage. In addition, we implement a surgical responsibility guarantee system in preparation for any situation that may arise after surgery, such as pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with appearance, which may occur after the procedure, helping make the nose revision surgery review even more satisfying.

That concludes our summary of nose revision surgery reviews that also consider function at Ojiko N+ Plus Clinic. We hope this post is very helpful for those considering nose revision surgery due to a nose shape they are unhappy with after surgery or due to functional problems with the nose. Thank you.
