Review of Revision Rhinoplasty: Exploring Various Aspects

People may try various methods, such as dieting, exercise, procedures, and style changes, to improve their appearance into a more likable image based on their own judgment. Even so, if there are parts that are difficult to change, they may consider plastic surgery. However, indiscriminate plastic surgery can cause side effects, so people have to be even more careful. Among the many types of plastic surgery, the nose is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional area. When the shape of the nose is not straight or well-balanced, many people consider rhinoplasty.

In the case of popular rhinoplasty, most people are satisfied with the first surgery, but if the shape is not what they expected after the first operation, or if revision surgery is needed due to internal functional problems in the nose, they may look into reviews of revision rhinoplasty.

Therefore, people looking into revision rhinoplasty reviews can be categorized into cases such as dissatisfaction with the appearance after the first surgery, internal nasal function problems, and inflammation or contracture after nasal surgery. Since revision rhinoplasty is performed for a variety of reasons, it is important to accurately analyze the cause and apply the appropriate surgery accordingly.

Also, people usually looking into revision rhinoplasty reviews often prioritize aesthetic concerns, but rhinoplasty is not only about appearance; it also plays a functional role in breathing and smell, so it is important that surgery be performed with careful consideration of both the external appearance and the internal function of the nose.

For this reason, those looking into revision rhinoplasty reviews should not choose based only on photos of cases that look like their own noses. It is helpful to carefully check whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have sufficient experience and expertise, whether the clinic has equipment that can accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare is reliably guaranteed.

When surgical improvement is performed on the functional aspect of the nose, the most representative symptom is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a common condition that more than 70% of Korean adults have, and it is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, because it appears due to certain substances or environments, surgical improvement is difficult, and consistent medication treatment and improved immunity should be prioritized.

However, structural rhinitis is a symptom caused by abnormalities in the internal structure of the nose and can be cured through surgery. The causes of structural rhinitis can be divided into deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal valve stenosis, and combined symptoms. Because each condition obstructs the flow of air entering through the nose and causes nasal congestion, it is important to accurately distinguish these symptoms and perform the appropriate surgery.

At Oziko N Plus, before nasal surgery, 3D-CT imaging, internal endoscopy, multi-angle photography, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests are performed to accurately understand each individual's internal and external nasal condition. Based on the extracted data, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

The revision rhinoplasty method is classified differently depending on the condition of the nasal bones, the condition of the cartilage, and whether there is a problem with internal nasal function when you look at revision rhinoplasty reviews. It is carried out by distinguishing cases such as artificial implants, a crooked nose, implant deformity, a drooping nasal tip, an upturned nasal tip, and recurrence of a hump nose.

The materials commonly used in revision rhinoplasty are silicone for the bridge of the nose and autologous cartilage for the nasal tip. Autologous cartilage includes ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. Through preoperative testing, the appropriate material can be selected for each individual. If the use of autologous cartilage is difficult, it can be replaced with donated rib cartilage approved by the U.S. FDA.

In the case of silicone used for the bridge of the nose, rather than using commercially available silicone as is, it is carefully shaped by hand after considering various aspects such as the individual's overall image and the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, which can lead to higher satisfaction.

In the revision rhinoplasty program at Oziko N Plus, the cause of the first surgery's failure is accurately identified, the revision method is made specific, and based on a systematic system, detailed care is provided for scars and swelling that can worsen after revision rhinoplasty.

At Oziko N Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles one-on-one care for the entire process, from consultation related to revision rhinoplasty to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up visits, so you can receive high-level medical services from before surgery to after.

Aftercare is also supported by an A/S system that guarantees one year after surgery, as well as a surgery responsibility guarantee system prepared for all situations that may arise, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape, so you can be assured of aftercare benefits after surgery.
