How to Decide on Revision Surgery for a Crooked Nose Carefully and Safely

As interest in upgrading one’s appearance has grown, more people are visiting hospitals for nose surgery, and correspondingly, the number of patients coming in for revision nose surgery is increasing every year. Since demand for rhinoplasty is not small, cases of side effects are increasing as surgery is being performed indiscriminately without thorough analysis, anatomical knowledge, or an understanding of the characteristics of the nose before surgery.

Revision surgery, like any surgery, requires caution, and rhinoplasty revision surgery in particular has many points that need attention, making it burdensome for both medical staff and patients.

Nose Revision Surgery Checklist

At the stage of considering nose revision surgery, the most important thing to consider in depth is precisely analyzing the cause of the previous surgery’s failure and applying that to the revision procedure. Just as much as external changes, it is also important to check how much the problems have improved. It is necessary to approach the revision reason in various ways, such as whether the cause was inflammation caused by the implant, contracture, whether the implant itself was bent, or whether there was a problem with the implant itself.

In addition, the constraints that affect revision surgery due to the impact of previous surgeries are very diverse.

What if a crooked nose develops after rhinoplasty?!

There are more cases than expected in which the nose becomes twisted or bent due to an overly forceful surgery performed without considering the individual characteristics of the patient, so understanding this is also necessary.

The side effect of a crooked nose after rhinoplasty occurs when surgery is performed while overlooking facial skeletal asymmetry or an imbalance in soft tissue forces, or when surgery is carried out without correcting a deviation in the septal cartilage inside the nose, the nasal bones, or asymmetry in the thickness of the skin surrounding the nose.

In addition, there are cases where the implant is inserted too high or too long, causing pressure and making the bridge of the nose crooked.

Effective Solutions for Crooked Nose Revision Surgery

Among cases of rhinoplasty side effects, a crooked nose requires removing the existing implant, creating the same space for the implant, and then reinserting an implant that has been shaped to best fit each individual’s nose shape. In other words, the result and satisfaction level of revision surgery can vary greatly depending on the skill of the plastic surgeon, that is, the surgeon performing the procedure. Therefore, it is safest to find and undergo surgery with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive clinical experience and can provide an appropriate solution by considering both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the nose.

It is also important to decide on the timing of revision nose surgery. 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; in general, after 6 months to 1 year is the most suitable period. However, depending on the condition of the nose, there are cases in which revision surgery must be performed before 6 months, so if you feel there is a problem after rhinoplasty, it is wise to visit a specialist right away and receive a detailed diagnosis.
