Q. I was advised to undergo hump nose correction and bulbous nose surgery, so I had plastic surgery, but I want to restore my nose surgery. image 1

Hello, this is Director Kim Hyung-taek of Kowon Plastic Surgery.

Many people feel more satisfied after nose surgery,

but on the other hand, some people experience discomfort because of unexpected changes.

In particular, because the nose is located at the center of the face,

a small change can significantly alter the impression you feel about yourself.

When consulting with patients, I always try to listen 충분ly to their stories

and clearly explain the differences before and after surgery.

However, if you have already had surgery,

it is important to accurately understand the current condition and find the most appropriate solution.

Today as well, I will sincerely answer the patient’s concerns.

Q. I was advised to undergo hump nose correction and bulbous nose surgery, so I had plastic surgery, but I want to restore my nose surgery. image 2

My nose was big and high, so people used to tell me I was pretty.

Then I went in for a consultation for eye correction surgery, and the doctor said I had a slight hump.

It wasn’t severe, just a slight protrusion.

But I was advised that nose surgery would be better than eye correction surgery.

I ended up going under the knife after being persuaded by my mother and the doctorㅠㅠ

Before surgery, they said they would shave down my nose a little and tie up the bulbous part.

But after the surgery, they said that since just shaving the nose looked strange, they inserted silicone.

I was so taken aback because this was done without consulting me.

My nose is already a bit long, and I was told they inserted about 4 mm.

People around me say it actually looks good and that they can’t even tell.

My mother, especially, is very satisfied and likes it a lot.

But every time I look in the mirror, I feel like the silicone is obvious, and I really hate it.

Because I keep worrying about it, I feel like I’m going to become depressed.

Can my nose be returned to its original shape if the silicone is removed? I’m also very curious whether nose surgery restoration is possible.

I was told that the tying part of the surgery used fat from the buttocks instead of cartilage. They said it was a method used in the bulbous nose surgery process, so I’m even more worried.

Honestly, my nose wasn’t low to begin with, and it was a nose people said was pretty.

That is why I regret it even more and keep thinking, ‘Why did I have the surgery?’ I feel a lot of regret about whether I really needed hump nose correction.

At this point, I really feel like crying just looking at my nose. Is restoration possible? Can this be solved with nose surgery restoration or repeat bulbous nose surgery?

Hello. This is Kim Hyung-taek, a plastic surgery specialist answering questions on HiDoc-Naver Knowledge iN.

If the silicone is removed, it is possible to return to a shape somewhat similar to the original nose.

However, it would be difficult to say that it can be restored to exactly the same condition as before surgery.

The hump has already been removed, and dermis has been inserted at the nasal tip,

so the appearance will inevitably be different from the nose before surgery.

Even so, if the part that worries you the most right now

is that the silicone looks obvious, then simply removing the silicone alone

is a method worth considering.

Especially in cases like yours, where there are concerns about nose surgery restoration, hump nose correction, and bulbous nose surgery,

it is safest to receive an accurate diagnosis of the current condition through a specialist consultation.

I hope you achieve a good result in the direction you want.

Q. I was advised to undergo hump nose correction and bulbous nose surgery, so I had plastic surgery, but I want to restore my nose surgery. image 3

Hello. Today, I would like to introduce a case of nose reconstruction surgery performed at our clinic using autologous rib cartilage.

This case is one of the more difficult surgeries, and I hope it can be helpful to someone who has been struggling for a long time because of an unsatisfactory result.

Of course, it is best to achieve a satisfactory result from the first surgery, but if you are undergoing revision surgery, there is no need to be overly anxious.

Revision surgery must always be carried out carefully, with safe methods and a systematic procedure.

The woman who visited us this time had previously undergone nose surgery 7 years ago using rib cartilage, ear cartilage, silicone, and other materials.

However, as time passed, the bridge of her nose changed into an unattractive shape, and although she underwent nose reconstruction surgery last year, she was still not satisfied, so she came back to Kowon Plastic Surgery.

Looking at her preoperative appearance, a slight hump remained and the bridge line had been refined, but overall it was not natural.

In particular, there were uneven areas in the middle skin of the nasal bridge, which she said bothered her every time she applied makeup.

The lower-angle photos were taken to accurately check the nasal tip line and nostril shape.

If you look closely at the photo, you can see that the nostrils are asymmetrical, though not severely so.

Since she had already undergone nose reconstruction surgery last year, at our well-known revision rhinoplasty clinic, Kowon, we recommended the same method used in the first surgery: using autologous rib cartilage.

As this was her third revision surgery and a difficult decision, her expectations for the result were high, and she wanted a glamorous yet sophisticated impression.

To improve the wide, spread-out bridge of the nose, the hump line and nasal bridge were osteotomized and neatly refined.

For the bridge, we determined that using rib particles instead of silicone would be more natural and safer, and we explained this sufficiently before surgery.

Here is the nose revision surgery review from Kowon that many people may be curious about.

The photo above is a side-by-side comparison of before and after surgery.

Looking at the front and lower-angle photos, the previously wide nasal bridge has become narrower, creating a smoother and more feminine impression.

In particular, the nasal tip, which had been a major concern since before surgery, has clearly improved, and the nostril shape has also become more attractive.

The problem of an uneven and unnatural line after the nose reconstruction surgery performed last year has also been resolved.

Above all, she had been under a lot of stress when applying makeup because the middle of the nasal bridge looked slightly sunken, but after this surgery, the nostrils became more symmetrical and the nose shape became much more natural.

The current photos were taken two weeks after surgery, so there are still slight marks, but they will heal soon, so there is no need to worry.

If you are considering correction because of a complex about your nose, I recommend consulting with Kowon Plastic Surgery, a well-known revision rhinoplasty clinic, at any time.

Make a reservation for a consultation at Kowon!
