Revision Rhinoplasty for Improving a Pointed Nose

Hello.

This is VN Plastic Surgery.

After rhinoplasty, there are often people who are not satisfied with the shape, and for those people, one of the methods they look into is revision rhinoplasty.

Among those cases, when the first nose surgery results in a nose that is too pointed, people look for VN revision rhinoplasty for improvement.

Today, we will talk about VN’s revision rhinoplasty.

First, let’s look at what kind of nose shape is considered a pointed nose.

A pointed nose can appear in three cases. When the nose looks upturned and short, and when the tip is lifted so it looks like a pig nose,

and when the nostrils are overly visible from the front, it can be considered a pointed nose.

Then why does a pointed nose develop after nose surgery? Factors such as the surgical method, the implant used, and skin thickness can have an effect.

This can be described as tissue resorption and adhesion, as well as an excessive implant.

A pointed nose is also referred to as a nasal contracture symptom, and as for how it can be improved,

it is not simply a matter of lowering the tip of the nose. Through a precise analysis, while checking the thickness of the skin layer, the shape of the nostrils, and the type of implant used,

it is necessary to determine the appropriate timing for surgery and plan the operation accordingly.

So, how is revision rhinoplasty performed at VN? We will explain it in two steps.

First, through delicate dissection and removal of scar tissue, all tissues of the nose, including the skin, cartilage, and mucosa, are extended.

Then, second, cartilage grafting is performed to improve the contracture symptoms by rebuilding a stable nasal support structure.

However, it is also possible to prevent this in advance, so that you do not have to go through such a process!

If you want to prevent nasal contracture, it is important to establish a natural surgical plan that fits your facial shape and skin condition,

choose implants carefully, receive early treatment if inflammation occurs, and create a natural nose design.

If nasal contracture does occur, or if prevention did not work, don’t worry too much, and it would be good to visit VN’s specialized medical staff so we can find a solution together.

We always stand by your side and strive to create the best possible results with the best approach.
