Should I Have a Nose Revision Surgery?

Very rarely, some people consider revision surgery even when they first plan their rhinoplasty.

However, if an unexpected need for revision surgery arises, you will likely experience both external concerns and psychological stress.

So why do people end up having surgery again?

There are many causes of nose revision surgery.

The nose shape is not satisfactory Inflammation occurs in the nose after surgery Contracture develops in the nose

and so on for various reasons.

If you are considering nose revision surgery for any of these reasons, it is important to identify the cause.

If you are planning revision surgery for aesthetic reasons, such as being unhappy with the shape of the nose, you should visit the clinic so that you can identify the desired nose shape and materials, and the reason why the desired shape was not achieved in the previous surgery.

If you are planning nose revision surgery because of a functional problem, such as inflammation or contracture, you should also visit the clinic so that you can determine what is causing the inflammation or contracture and what surgical method will be used to improve the problem.

Representative symptoms of inflammation that can appear after nose surgery include swelling of the nasal bridge

and

redness at the nasal tip

These inflammation symptoms can occur for reasons such as incorrect handling of the nasal tissue during surgery, incorrect placement of an implant, or an implant size that does not fit the nose.

Also, after nose surgery, inflammation can occur for reasons such as excessive drinking or smoking, undergoing an extreme diet at the same time, or weakened immunity due to an underlying condition.

If you notice signs of inflammation but delay visiting the clinic and leave it untreated, it can progress to a chronic stage, and symptoms such as contracture, skin necrosis, and columella depression may appear.

Therefore, if you notice the above symptoms, you should quickly visit the clinic, check whether there is inflammation, and find a solution.

If, after nose surgery, the skin appears thinner and the implant becomes visible, and the nasal tip turns red, most inflammatory reactions occur due to problems with the implant, so it is better to remove the artificial material and undergo revision surgery using your own tissue.

Our VN Plastic Surgery Clinic removes artificial materials such as silicone that were used in previous rhinoplasty and performs the surgery by raising the nasal bridge with your own tissue or by covering the implant with dermis and inserting it back into the nose.

Compared with the previous surgery, you can achieve a more natural nose line, and improve inflammation and scarring, so that both aesthetic and functional issues can be addressed at the same time.
