Properly Understanding Contracted Nose Revision Surgery

Hello. This is OJIKO N+Plus, which has spent the past 16 years thinking only about your healthy and beautiful nose.

This time, we will be introducing information related to contracted nose revision surgery.

Many people tend to judge first impressions based mostly on outward appearance. Considering this tendency, interest in cosmetic surgery has naturally increased as a way to improve one’s facial features. Among the many types of cosmetic surgery, the nose is located at the center of the face and is one of the most three-dimensional features, so even changing only the shape of the nose can have a major effect on improving one’s image. For this reason, nose surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures.

Therefore, among those looking into nose surgery, there are many who consider surgery because their nose is low, upturned, has a hump, is crooked, or is shaped like a bulbous nose. In the case of nose surgery, a much larger number of people experience satisfying changes even with their first operation. However, for those who are considering revision surgery due to dissatisfaction with the shape, inflammation, or contraction, you may want to learn more about contracted nose revision surgery in greater detail.

The reason for nose surgery is that the nose plays an important external role. At the same time, it is a functional organ responsible for breathing and the sense of smell, and it plays an important role in the body as a whole. Therefore, in nose surgery, if the aesthetic approach is prioritized and revision surgery is performed due to cosmetic dissatisfaction, it is a matter of choice. On the other hand, if you are considering revision surgery because of contracted nose or inflammation, it is not a choice but a necessity. For that reason, it is important to proceed only after careful and thorough research, which can lead to a satisfying contracted nose revision surgery.

What is contracted nose revision surgery? After nose surgery, if the implant is recognized by the body as a foreign material and inflammation is found early but left untreated, excessive scar tissue forms inside, causing the nose to become hard and contract. The surgery that corrects this condition through treatment and surgery is called contracted nose revision surgery.

In the case of contracted nose revision surgery, since contraction or inflammation has already progressed, the internal tissue of the nose has been damaged, and because there are various causes, treatment can be performed according to the cause after properly analyzing it before revision surgery. Therefore, contracted nose revision surgery is considered a complex and highly difficult procedure. If you are looking into it, it may help to check whether the medical staff have strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have extensive relevant experience, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether follow-up care is carried out reliably.

At OJIKO N+Plus, to ensure a satisfying contracted nose revision surgery, we analyze and identify the root problem through 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests. Based on the detailed examination data, we establish and carry out the surgical plan.

In the case of contracted nose revision surgery, after safely removing the implant that caused the inflammatory reaction, treatment tailored to each individual is used to restore the damaged tissue before surgery is performed. In general, revision nose surgery is recommended to be performed at least 6 months to 1 year after the last surgery. However, when contraction symptoms occur due to inflammatory reactions or other causes, a systematic regenerative treatment program is used to repair the damaged tissue around the nose as quickly as possible in order to move up the timing of revision surgery, and then contracted nose revision surgery is performed. Accordingly, the methods of contracted nose revision surgery are divided into cases with mild contraction symptoms and cases with severe contraction symptoms.

If the contraction symptoms are mild, PDRN injection treatment is performed. PDRN refers to DNA fragments extracted and processed from salmon DNA. Since PDRN is effective in tissue regeneration and inflammation relief, it is the first treatment program considered when contraction symptoms are not severe.

If the contraction symptoms are severe, stem cell treatment is performed. In the case of stem cell treatment, stem cells extracted from the patient’s fatty tissue are separated and concentrated to create an injectable product, and the injection procedure is carried out periodically. The treatment period is intensive over 1 to 2 months, and the timing for contracted nose revision surgery is determined according to the patient’s tissue regeneration speed.

After contracted nose treatment is completed, in contracted nose revision surgery, it is important to minimize the use of implants and supplement the skin that is lacking due to damage with autologous skin grafting. In the case of implants used for the bridge of the nose, rather than using commercial implants as they are, they are carefully and delicately shaped by hand after considering the individual’s overall image as well as various aspects such as the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, in order to minimize an artificial look after nose surgery.

At OJIKO N+Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles everything one-on-one, from consultation about contracted nose revision surgery to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up visits, so you can receive a high level of medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

For aftercare, in addition to the free A/S system that guarantees support for one year after surgery, we also operate a surgery responsibility guarantee system that prepares for all possible situations such as postoperative pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with the appearance.
