Considering a Nose Revision Surgery Clinic Carefully

Considering a nose revision surgery clinic carefully

Compared with Westerners, many people in Korea have noses that are lower and broader due to the typical East Asian nose shape. Because of this, rhinoplasty is relatively popular for improving the nose to look higher and more refined. Some people are already satisfied, but those who became concerned due to dissatisfaction with the first surgery’s appearance or side effects can find more detailed information about nose revision surgery clinics.

Accordingly, for those looking into a nose revision surgery clinic, revision surgery may be considered after the first nose surgery for reasons such as dissatisfaction with the shape, internal functional problems of the nose, inflammation, or side effects. Since the reasons for revision surgery vary widely, and the materials and surgical methods differ greatly depending on the cause, it is important to receive an accurate diagnosis of your nose first so that the appropriate surgery can be performed.

On average, when rhinoplasty is performed, the procedure is often carried out with an emphasis on cosmetic considerations first. In the case of the nose, however, while appearance is important, it is also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smelling, so it can be helpful to carefully check the internal function of the nose as well before proceeding.

Therefore, when looking into a nose revision surgery clinic, it is a good idea to carefully check whether the clinic has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether it has sufficient experience and expertise, whether it is equipped with devices that can accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare can be reliably guaranteed.

The most representative functional symptom that can be improved at the same time as the rhinoplasty process described above is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition that more than 70% of adults in Korea have, with allergic rhinitis accounting for 20% and structural rhinitis for 80%.

Allergic rhinitis appears due to specific substances or environments, so a complete cure through surgery is difficult. However, symptom improvement can be achieved through consistent immune strengthening and medication. In contrast, structural rhinitis can be improved through surgery. The causes of structural rhinitis include a deviated septum, nasal valve stenosis, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. These conditions commonly cause nasal congestion, but each one interferes with the flow of air entering the nose in different ways. Therefore, it is important to identify the cause of rhinitis accurately before surgery.

Therefore, when looking into a nose revision surgery clinic, you can see that many cases involve improving appearance and function at the same time. If you approach this only from an aesthetic or cost perspective, there is a possibility that functional problems after surgery could lead to another revision, so it is important to clearly check not only aesthetic issues inside the nose but also whether there are functional issues.

At N+ Plastic Surgery Clinic, before rhinoplasty is performed, the patient's current condition is accurately assessed through 3D-CT imaging, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests. Based on the extracted data, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

Revision rhinoplasty can be classified and performed in many ways, including cases involving artificial implants, crooked noses, implant deformation, a drooping nose tip, an upturned nose tip, recurrence of a hump nose, internal nasal function problems, contracture, inflammation, and more.

The material used for the nose tip in revision rhinoplasty is autologous cartilage. Through preoperative examinations, the material can be selected as a customized option suitable for the individual. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. If the use of autologous cartilage is difficult, donated rib cartilage approved by the U.S. FDA can be used.

For silicone used in the bridge of the nose, the clinic does not use a pre-made commercial silicone as is. Instead, it is carefully trimmed by hand while considering the individual's overall image and various aspects such as the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge. This allows revision rhinoplasty to be designed with a nasal bridge line that does not look artificial and suits the individual, leading to a more satisfying result.

Therefore, at N+ Plastic Surgery Clinic, the exact cause of the revision surgery is identified and the revision method is made more specific. With a systematic approach, the clinic firmly supports everything from scar care, which may become more severe after revision surgery, to swelling management.

Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles the entire process one-on-one, from consultations related to rhinoplasty to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up visits. This helps ensure a safe and satisfying rhinoplasty experience from before surgery through aftercare.

For aftercare, the clinic operates a service system that provides a one-year warranty after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system that prepares for any situation that may arise after surgery, including pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape. This allows you to receive thorough aftercare as well.

This concludes the explanation of the revision rhinoplasty content related to N+ Plastic Surgery Clinic. I hope this article is of great help to those who are looking into revision rhinoplasty because of dissatisfaction with the shape, inflammation, or contracture. Thank you.
