Hello. I am Kim Hyeong-taek, the head doctor at Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic.

In this reply note, someone posted a question on Naver Knowledge iN saying they were worried because they thought they might have inflammation after rhinoplasty, and I am responding to that question.

Q. Question About Nasal Inflammation After Rhinoplasty

There was something like a pimple inside my nose, so I went to an otolaryngology clinic..

At the hospital, they said it seemed like nasal inflammation caused by plastic surgery.

It has been about 23 years since I had the surgery... and the material used was Gore-Tex.

It has been so long that I can’t remember the hospital where I had the procedure...

I heard that Gore-Tex is also difficult to revise, and that the surgery cost is not small..

I would like to know about the cost and surgical methods for nasal inflammation after rhinoplastyㅠㅠ

From the question, it seems that it has been about 23 years since the nose surgery, so the hospital where it was performed is not remembered, and a pimple-like lesion was found inside the nose, leading to a visit to an otolaryngology clinic.

After hearing that it was nasal inflammation caused by the surgery, the person became very worried and posted a question.

If you currently have nasal inflammation, you should first receive treatment for the inflammation.

Depending on the severity of the inflammation, you may need antibiotic treatment and, based on that, you should also consider implant removal.

The surgery will differ depending on your current condition.

If the inflammation is severe, the implant, Gore-Tex, must be removed, and revision surgery can be performed after 6 months have passed.

However, if the inflammation is not severe, it may be resolved with inflammation treatment along with antibiotic treatment.

I recommend visiting a plastic surgery clinic to check the condition of the nasal inflammation caused by the surgery and receive treatment.

I hope you have a good outcome from the surgery.
