The nose is located at the center of the face and is a key area that determines the overall impression.

However, as time passes and the nose tip lowers or its shape changes, many people start considering revision surgery.

In particular, cases where the septal cartilage becomes deformed after silicone insertion or the nose tip becomes flat are surprisingly common.

Today, we will talk through a real case about the causes of a lowered nose tip and how Kangnam nose revision surgery can improve it.

Q.

I had nose tip surgery using septal cartilage and silicone inserted into the bridge,

but about a year and a half after the surgery, my nose tip feels like it has slightly collapsed.

The nose tip has not turned red,

but there is a dark, round area that looks discolored, and when I touch it,

the area that should be raised seems to have become flat.

Could the cartilage have separated?

If I consider Kangnam nose revision surgery,

would it be okay to do it about 3 months from now?

Also, when I touch the nose tip, it feels like something is moving.

If that means the cartilage has separated, I would like to know whether it can be easily corrected with Kangnam nose revision surgery.

Hello. This is Kim Hyung-taek, a consultation physician from Hidak-Naver Knowledge iN.

If you are experiencing symptoms like the nose tip lowering or feeling separated after surgery,

it could be a case where the cartilage has separated,

or it could be due to other causes such as tissue changes or absorption.

The exact cause needs to be confirmed through an in-person examination,

but in the case of Kangnam nose revision surgery, if more than a year and a half has passed since the surgery,

revision surgery can be performed right away. If your schedule is not flexible,

doing it after 3 months is also fine.

The surgical method differs depending on the cause.

If the cartilage has actually separated and the nose tip has lowered,

Kangnam nose revision surgery would involve an open approach

and correcting it by bringing the nose tip cartilage back together.

As you can see, Kangnam nose revision surgery is an important process for reorganizing the nose tip structure

and stabilizing the shape, so we recommend having sufficient consultation with an experienced specialist.

We hope for a good result.

Hello, this is Kim Hyung-taek, the CEO of Kowon Plastic Surgery, a place known for nose revision surgery.

Today, I would like to introduce the case of a woman who underwent a relatively simple-looking thread lifting procedure in hopes of creating a pretty nose.

Many people who are afraid of plastic surgery choose procedures such as Misko threads, dissolvable threads, or filler injections instead of surgery.

These procedures can create immediate changes, but because structural correction is difficult, long-term satisfaction tends to be low.

This case involves someone who personally experienced these limitations and then visited Kowon Plastic Surgery, known for nose revision surgery.

If you were satisfied with a thread-based nose tip lifting procedure, that would be fortunate,

but in many cases the results fall short of expectations.

When barbed threads are used, the nose tip may rise to some extent,

but the bridge remains unchanged, which can make the overall appearance look unnatural.

Fillers are sometimes used together to compensate for this, but the maintenance period is short,

and there are limits to creating a more dimensional nasal bridge.

For this reason, when satisfaction declines over time, many people end up visiting a specialist in nose revision surgery.

In particular, when a procedure has been done with barbed threads, removal is complicated

and requires delicate technique.

The threads must be removed before full surgery can begin,

and because this places stress on the tissue inside the nose, a cautious approach is necessary.

In addition, the high level of difficulty can also increase the financial burden.

Among those who have experienced thread-lifting nose tip procedures such as Hi-ko, Misko, or Beko,

many say they tried it “just to see before getting plastic surgery.”

However, because the inside of the nose is one of the most sensitive and narrow areas of the body,

sufficient consultation and careful judgment before the procedure are essential.

Although it looks simple on the surface, you should keep in mind that if thread removal surgery is performed later,

it involves a rather complicated process.

As you can see in the photo below, before the threads were removed, the nose tip had dropped

and the bridge was also low, making the overall line look unnatural.

In the photo taken from below, the nose tip area looked as if

the threads had clumped together.

At our nose revision surgery specialist, Kowon Plastic Surgery, we remove these threads

and then naturally perform nose tip lifting using septal cartilage.

The photo below shows the state two weeks after surgery,

with the line stabilized and the overall impression much sharper.

Comparing the before-and-after photos, the previously blunt nose tip

has changed into a sharper, more dimensional shape after surgery.

A natural bridge line has been formed from the glabella to the nose tip,

making the center of the face look clearer,

and the bridge, which had spread outward on both sides, has become more refined and elevated.

As a result, the nose was improved into a smaller and more refined shape,

and the appearance before surgery, where the nose tip and nostrils seemed tied together by threads,

can now be seen as naturally refined.

So far, we have looked at a case of nose tip lifting surgery using septal cartilage after thread removal

at Kowon Plastic Surgery, a specialist in nose revision surgery.
