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

Because the nose is located at 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 complex does not get the desired result, the emotional pain and sense of loss are greater than with other surgeries, and most people decide to undergo revision surgery.

In the case of hump nose surgery, which involves a complicated process, shows a significant before-and-after difference and effect, and must be performed with delicate attention not only to appearance but also to function, there are especially many cases in which people consider revision surgery after the operation.

Hump noses often have not only the problem that cosmetic improvement is insufficient after surgery, but also functional problems. If the hump is overly shaved down, or if osteotomy, which is selectively performed when the nasal bridge is wide, is carried out excessively, internal nasal conditions can worsen. In addition, it can also cause nasal problems that were not present before, such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, sinusitis, smooth breathing, and deviated septum, so more caution is required than with any other rhinoplasty.

What should be the focus to improve the effectiveness and satisfaction of failed hump nose revision rhinoplasty?

Revision plastic surgery, especially revision rhinoplasty, is more difficult than the first surgery because the influence of previous operations creates many more constraints during surgery. That is why the most important thing is to identify the problems through an accurate evaluation of the patient’s current nasal condition. Information about the previous surgical method must be fully collected, and the materials and methods to be used for revision surgery must be thoroughly prepared in advance. Postoperative care is also very important.

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

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