[DIVA Plastic Surgery] Failed Hump Nose Revision Surgery: How to Improve Results and Satisfaction

The nose is located at the center of the face!

The “nose” is a representative area that plays an important role in determining appearance.

In the past, some people received treatment to improve concerns about their nose,

but as unexpected results and problems occurred,

more and more people have found that revision treatment has become unavoidable, so caution is needed.

In particular, in the case of a hump nose, where the process is complicated and the before-and-after difference and effects are significant, and where both appearance and function must be carefully considered,

it is especially important to resolve the problem through revision treatment~!

If the nasal implant moves, the bridge becomes too high,

if there is inflammation in the nose, a crooked nose, the implant becomes visible,

or if problems occur due to contracture, then an even faster decision is needed

to make efforts to solve the problem.

And there is an important point!

There is an appropriate timing for revision rhinoplasty~!

Although it may vary depending on the condition of each person’s nose,

generally, 6 months to 1 year after the first nose surgery is recommended.

This timing can be determined through consultation with medical staff and a detailed diagnosis.

If the symptoms are severe, treatment may be possible even earlier,

so if any abnormal problem occurs, it would be best to first receive a detailed diagnosis and consultation.

And if you do not want to experience failure twice,

it is important to find medical staff with extensive experience.

Through their many years of experience and know-how,

DIVA Plastic Surgery’s medical team accurately identifies the cause of nose problems,

and, by applying appropriate solutions while considering the shape and size of the nasal bone and functional issues,

helps improve nose problems as quickly as possible.

Above all, revision treatment is more

complicated and difficult than the first treatment,

so it requires the medical staff’s meticulous and skilled technique.

Failed Hump Nose Revision Surgery: How to Improve Results and Satisfaction

Because the nose is located in the center of the face, it plays an important role in determining a person’s image. Therefore, when someone who underwent rhinoplasty to improve appearance or address a concern does not achieve the desired result, the hurt and sense of loss are greater than with other surgeries, and the majority decide to undergo revision surgery.

In the case of hump nose rhinoplasty, where the surgical process is complicated and the before-and-after difference and effects are noticeable, and where care must be taken not only with appearance but also with function, there are especially many cases in which people consider revision surgery after the operation.

Hump nose surgery often involves not only the issue that the cosmetic improvement after surgery is insufficient, but also functional problems. If the hump is over-trimmed, or if osteotomy—performed selectively when the nasal bridge is wide—is carried out excessively, internal nasal conditions may worsen. In addition, it can also cause nasal conditions that were not present before, such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, sinusitis, difficulty breathing, and a deviated septum, so more caution is required than with any other rhinoplasty.

What should be the focus if you want to increase the effectiveness and satisfaction of failed hump nose revision surgery?

Director Kim Jong-myeong (DIVA Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon) advises, “In revision plastic surgery, especially revision rhinoplasty, the constraints that affect surgery increase because of the impact of previous surgeries, so it is more difficult than the first surgery. That is why the most important thing is to identify the problems through an accurate assessment of the patient’s current nasal condition. Information about previous surgical methods must be fully collected, and the materials and methods to be used in revision surgery should be thoroughly prepared from before the operation. Postoperative care is also very important.”

He also added, “The timing of revision surgery is also very important. It is safer and more likely to produce good results to proceed after the adhesions caused by the first surgery have disappeared and the nasal tissue has stabilized. Although this varies depending on each patient’s condition, it is generally most appropriate after 6 months to 1 year has passed.”

Meanwhile, while the nose is important for cosmetic purposes, it is also an organ whose functional aspects must be considered. For improvement not only in appearance but also in breathing function, it is safer to find a board-certified plastic surgeon who fully understands the anatomical structure of the nose and has extensive clinical experience with various cases, receive a personalized consultation, and then undergo surgery.
