Q. I had nose surgery. Is this a complication? I’m wondering if I need revision rhinoplasty

Hello, I’m Director Kim Hyung-taek of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic.

The nose is located at the center of the face, so it has a major impact on one’s impression and image.

Because even a small change can alter the overall look, many people think carefully before deciding.

In particular, before undergoing nose surgery, both functional aspects and aesthetic results must be considered.

When I conduct consultations, I listen carefully to the concerns the patient has and work together to find the right direction.

Above all, I also explain realistically the possible complications that may occur after nose surgery.

This is because understanding the results and increasing satisfaction go hand in hand, while unnecessary worries can be reduced.

Today, based on a real inquiry, I’d like to talk about the changes that can appear after nose surgery and whether revision rhinoplasty is needed.

I hope this will be helpful for those with similar concerns.

Let’s take a closer look at the consultation details now.

Q.

It has been about 1 year and 6 months since I had nose surgery.

I raised the bridge with silicone and also inserted an implant in the tip.

Right after the surgery, everything seemed fine, but as time passed, I noticed that where the nostrils meet should originally form a straight line, yet now it looks like a sunken mark.

I’m satisfied with the bridge line, but I don’t like the shape of the tip, so I’m wondering whether I should consider revision rhinoplasty.

Should I get revision surgery? ㅜㅜ

Hello. I’m Kim Hyung-taek, a plastic surgery consultant.

The current appearance seems to be the area that was incised during the nose surgery looking sunken.

Whether this is a complication from nose surgery or something that was part of the original structure can only be determined by checking the pre-surgery photos.

If the bridge line is satisfactory, revision rhinoplasty can be considered only for the columella area.

In particular, since it has been 1 year and 6 months since the nose surgery, the current shape is unlikely to change much further.

It is necessary to carefully check whether the cause of the sunken appearance was an originally existing structure or whether it developed as a complication after surgery.

This is because there may have been localized inflammation or scarring in the columella area that changed the shape of the nasal tip.

Therefore, whether revision rhinoplasty is needed should be determined after comparing the pre-surgery records with the current condition.

Ultimately, it would be most helpful to consult directly with the medical team that performed the nose surgery.

I hope you get a good result. Thank you.

Hello. I’m Kim Hyung-taek, the chief director of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic, who puts his heart into nose surgery.

No matter how pretty and neat the individual facial features are, true beauty appears only when they are in overall harmony.

Also, because preferred shapes and standards of beauty change with the times, design tailored to those changes is necessary.

Today, through a case performed at Cheongdam-dong Plastic Surgery Clinic, I’d like to share a review of female straight-line nose surgery, where the line runs straight from the glabella to the tip of the nose.

The woman in this case had undergone surgery about 7 years ago at Cheongdam-dong Plastic Surgery Clinic, and later had reconstructive surgery, but did not obtain a satisfactory result.

So this time, she had female straight-line nose surgery performed again at Kowon.

In the past, donor costal cartilage, ear cartilage, and silicone were used, and a hump-removal procedure was also performed, but a smooth line could not be created, and the nose line still seemed short compared to the shape of her face, which remained disappointing.

Before surgery, the bridge of the nose did not look smooth, giving it a slightly unnatural appearance, and there was also a slight difference in nostril size.

Since this was her third surgery, a very careful approach was needed, and this time female straight-line nose surgery was performed using autologous costal cartilage instead of silicone.

In particular, when someone has undergone multiple surgeries, a more precise process is necessary to prevent nose surgery complications.

Because this patient wanted a somewhat glamorous style, the bridge and hump area were straightened neatly through osteotomy.

From the front, the post-surgery bridge looks narrower and higher, creating a refined impression.

Female straight-line nose surgery performed at Cheongdam-dong Plastic Surgery Clinic is important for adjusting the design to match the person’s facial image.

In this case, the tip of the nose was raised to the desired degree, creating a straight line from the glabella to the tip.

We also improved the slightly sunken area of the bridge so that it connects naturally.

In the side-view photo, you can clearly see that the nasolabial angle line connecting the nose and lips has improved significantly.

Through female straight-line nose surgery, the bridge became higher and changed into a straighter line.

Because autologous costal cartilage can be partially absorbed, the correction was made slightly higher to account for this.

Looking at the side profile one month after surgery, the three-dimensionality of the side view has become more distinct, and an effect similar to double-jaw surgery could be expected.

Also, after 6 months or more, absorption progresses, resulting in an even more natural and refined image than now.

Because it is difficult to say that nose surgery can be 100% satisfying in one attempt, a gradual improvement process can also be meaningful.

Continuing the improvement process in this way is one option.

At Cheongdam-dong Plastic Surgery Clinic, we aim for a high level of completion, while at Kowon we pursue the best possible result based on each person’s individuality and harmony.

In particular, those with multiple surgery experiences should carefully review whether revision rhinoplasty is necessary, and it is advisable to determine the direction through sufficient consultation.
