Q. When Is Revision Nose Surgery or Nose Reconstruction Surgery Needed, and Tips for Choosing a Well-Known Revision Nose Surgery Clinic image 1

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

The nose is at the center of the face, so it is an important area that determines the overall impression and harmony.

Because even small changes can alter the atmosphere, many people carefully consider nose surgery.

During consultations, I believe it is important to listen fully to the concerns each person feels and work together to find the right solution.

In particular, to achieve satisfactory results, it is necessary to explain honestly any problems that may arise after surgery or any complications from nasal plastic surgery.

Rather than an excessive approach, the safest method suited to the individual is what matters most.

Even so, there are quite a few people who are left feeling dissatisfied with the results and end up considering revision nose surgery.

In such cases, it may be necessary to consider nose reconstruction surgery, which addresses not only appearance but also functional aspects.

Also, if you receive a consultation at a well-known revision nose surgery clinic with an experienced medical team, you can expect a much more stable result.

Today, I will talk about changes after nose surgery and the possibility of revision surgery based on actual inquiry cases.

Q.

About ten days after undergoing nose surgery, I pressed down firmly on my nose with my hand, and the columella area that had been built up with donated rib cartilage collapsed.

The originally slim shape disappeared and changed into a broader appearance like my natural nose, and from the side, the area where ear cartilage had been added still looks elevated, but the height is gradually dropping to the level of my old nose.

This change happened within just 3 to 4 days, separate from any swelling.

On online Q&A sites, I read that during the early stage after surgery, if there is external impact, the internal stitches can come undone and the nose may return to its original shape, but the clinic that performed the surgery only said it was not a major issue, so I am confused.

If the stitches came undone, is there any additional side effect besides returning to the original appearance?

The columella has sunk, but it is not an upturned nose. Does donated rib cartilage remain hard even after several months?

I have a lot of scar tissue, so I keep massaging the tip of my nose. Could this have a negative effect on my next revision nose surgery?

I pressed and flattened a dent caused by overly tight cartilage binding myself. Could this actually lead to a better result during nose reconstruction surgery?

A.

Hello. This is Kim Hyung-taek, a plastic surgery consultant on Hidak-Naver Knowledge iN.

  1. If the stitches come undone, the change may simply be that the nose becomes closer to its original shape. However, since donated rib cartilage is currently being used, it is necessary to observe the course over time to see exactly how the shape will change. If you are considering revision nose surgery, this point must be checked carefully.

  2. Donated rib cartilage used to support the columella maintains its firm texture over time. Rib cartilage used in nose reconstruction surgery is hard, so it does not easily change even after several months. Therefore, even if the tip of the nose has sunk for now, the donated rib cartilage itself is likely to remain solid.

  3. If you keep massaging the tip of your nose because of significant scar tissue, it will not cause major adverse effects on future revision nose surgery. As explained at well-known revision nose surgery clinics, massage rarely becomes a direct problem. However, excessive pressure should be avoided.

  4. In a situation where you have pressed out a dent caused by overly tight cartilage binding yourself, it is difficult to say definitively whether this will be especially beneficial or unfavorable for revision surgery. During nose reconstruction surgery, the cartilage and tissue must ultimately be reorganized anyway, so whether it is dented or flattened does not make a major difference to the surgical result. Therefore, if you plan revision nose surgery later, it will not be a problem to leave the current state as it is.

In summary, even if the changes you are seeing now make you anxious, the shape may stabilize to some extent over time, and if needed, correction through nose reconstruction surgery is possible. Also, if you consult a well-known revision nose surgery clinic, you can receive specific guidance suited to your condition.

I hope you have a good result. I hope this consultation was helpful. Thank you.

Q. When Is Revision Nose Surgery or Nose Reconstruction Surgery Needed, and Tips for Choosing a Well-Known Revision Nose Surgery Clinic image 3

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the chief director of Kowon Plastic Surgery, who helps complete a confident impression.

Today, I will introduce a case of a patient who underwent both removal of existing nose threads and secondary nose reshaping at a well-known revision nose surgery clinic.

During the consultation process, this male patient said that he had previously undergone a petite nose procedure called Bayeko and had also experienced semi-permanent filler treatment.

However, he was concerned that his nose tip looked short and blunt on his face, making his overall appearance seem plain.

His brow bone was relatively high overall, so the bridge area itself was not especially low, but because the shape appeared sunken, it looked lower than it actually was.

Through a detailed consultation and analysis, I explained that raising the bridge to a certain extent could create a more natural and harmonious image.

The photo above shows his appearance when he visited the well-known revision nose surgery clinic.

Because of the earlier Bayeko procedure and the semi-permanent filler, nose thread removal was needed first, and then the bridge was raised.

However, I informed him in advance that even if we removed the threads as thoroughly as possible, some parts might remain.

This is the appearance after completing the nose thread removal and secondary nose reshaping.

By raising the bridge, the area between the eyebrows that had looked low regained its position, and the clearer line made the masculine impression stand out more.

Also, by lifting the nose tip, the line between the nose and lips became more refined, and the protruding mouth appeared improved as well.

If the tissue adhesion is severe, removal can be difficult, but since this patient was not in severe condition, the nose threads could be removed neatly without major issues at the well-known revision nose surgery clinic.

This is a photo comparing the 45-degree side view.

The bridge line and the nose tip now connect naturally, creating a clearer and more three-dimensional impression.

After removing the filler that remained in the middle of the bridge, the uneven surface was revealed and slightly refined. When lifting the nose tip, septal cartilage and ear cartilage were used together. A 3 mm silicone implant was applied.

If you look at the photo from below, you can see that before the secondary nose reshaping at the well-known revision nose surgery clinic, the nose tip looked thick and broad, but now it has become much sharper and thinner.

You can also see that the round nostrils have been organized into a longer and more symmetrical shape.

Looking at the front view, the male patient himself was very satisfied.

He said that the nose had been the part of his face he had felt least confident about, but now it had become an important feature that creates clear facial features.

Finally, the side view shows an even more striking difference.

As the blunt nose tip became longer and higher, it harmonized with the strong eyebrows, making the overall impression look more refined.

Today, we looked at the case of a male patient who visited the well-known revision nose surgery clinic to remove Bayeko and improve his appearance.
