If Nasal Revision Surgery Is Needed Because of Contracture

The nose is located at the center of the face and is an important area that determines breathing, smell,

and appearance, so it is a part of the face where plastic surgery can bring positive changes.

Along with the eyes, it is one of the areas many people choose to have surgery on,

and if the design they wanted turns out well,

it is also an area with high satisfaction.

However, simply typing in the words “nose surgery” can reveal a variety of side effects,

so it is understandable to feel suddenly afraid.

If the nose surgery you undertook with great determination to change your image has turned back into the big hurdle of revision surgery,

you may feel overwhelmed. Nasal revision surgery is more difficult than the first surgery and must be approached with caution, so you should pay even more attention than when choosing a clinic for the first time,

and we recommend meeting a meticulous and experienced specialist.

The situations that lead to nasal revision surgery vary widely.

Trying to follow a trend or imitate the shape of the nose of a favorite celebrity, only to end up with a nose that is too high and looks artificial and unnatural, can also lead to a desire for revision surgery.

Trends always pass quickly. Although trends do exist in nose surgery, any trend shines only when it suits the individual.

Rather than copying a celebrity’s beautiful nose shape or the currently popular line, I want to emphasize the importance of designing the nose shape by considering your own facial structure, the placement of your features, and the line flowing from the forehead, so that everything is balanced.

In addition to the examples above, people who want revision surgery often do so because of poor judgment.

When the thickness of the skin is not taken into account, a thin skin may make the implant visible, and if the procedure is performed incorrectly, the implant may not settle in place and move around, causing inflammation and pain.

In addition, the bridge of the nose may become crooked, the nostrils may become uneven, or the angle of the nasal tip may look awkward, throwing off the balance of the face. In such cases, people experience stress every time they look in the mirror, so they become candidates for revision surgery.

The most common complication that leads to nasal revision surgery is contracture. You may have seen celebrities on TV talk about struggling with contracture as a side effect of nose surgery.

The symptom of nasal contracture is the biggest reason for revision surgery. Due to inflammation caused by implants and other materials, changes occur in the nasal tissue, and the skin tissue contracts, shortening the length of the nasal tip and pulling it upward, creating a snub-nosed appearance.

When a patient visits with this condition, nasal revision surgery is essential.

When contracture occurs at the nasal tip, scar tissue should be released, and the contracted, lifted nasal tip should be lowered sufficiently so that an ideal result can be achieved.

Because the overall length of the nose has become shorter, attention must be focused on identifying the cause, and there is a high likelihood that the internal silicone inserted as the apparent cause of inflammation must be removed.

At this time, if you do not meet a specialist who has anatomical knowledge and can perform the surgery in a systematic way, you may have to undergo revision surgery two or three more times, so please be even more careful when choosing a clinic than you were for the first surgery.

The method of nasal revision surgery varies depending on the patient’s condition.

As mentioned earlier, contracture of the nose is one cause, but many people visit for other reasons as well, so it is advisable to identify the cause based on a thorough diagnostic evaluation and then proceed with revision surgery.

When the nose is too high and feels awkward, people often visit seeking revision surgery even if there is no particular pain or inflammation.

Because the shape of the nose is strongly tied to aesthetics, this issue can also cause severe stress.

When the nose is too high and feels awkward, the line is designed with the forehead and chin in mind so that it suits the proportions of the person’s face.

The existing implant is removed and replaced with a new implant, and autologous tissue is used for the nasal tip to enhance a natural look. Because each patient wants a different design and the shape of each nose is different, consultation and examination with a specialist become even more important.

If the first surgery was judged incorrectly and the implant was placed too high, the implant may show through thin skin.

By performing nasal revision surgery to lower this implant and changing the insertion space to a deeper area than the capsule, the problem can be resolved.

It is also important not to forget that thin skin can be supplemented by using autologous dermis or scalp fascia instead of an implant.

Problems can also occur when the implant does not settle properly and moves.

The implant, which should be precisely positioned between the bone and the periosteum, may not be fixed and may move due to external impact or failure of the first surgery.

It can be properly fixed to the periosteum through surgery or secured with reinforcement, so there is no need to worry.

And for those who are stressed by left-right asymmetry, there are ways to correct the symmetry, so instead of stressing alone at home, we recommend visiting a clinic for an examination.

Nose surgery is one way to bring positive changes to daily life, but it also clearly has the potential to bring various problems and stress.

To avoid facing such situations, as mentioned earlier, when choosing a clinic and specialist, please check factors such as experience and the medical system, and make a clear decision so that you do not end up needing a second or third surgery.

Nose surgery can enhance the three-dimensionality of the face and create a sharper impression, and I hope you experience only positive changes without side effects.
