Learn About the Different Types of KOKOLINE Nose Revision Surgery!

 

Let’s take a look at the different types of KOKOLINE nose revision surgery. There are more people considering nose revision surgery than you might think, and the reasons vary from person to person.

The period when people most often think about revision surgery is usually between 1 and 3 weeks after surgery. That is because swelling after surgery makes the appearance look unnatural and awkward. Even though they know that after a week, once the splint is removed, swelling can make the bridge look thicker and the tip appear blunt or even look lifted, when they actually see the nose while it is still swollen, they end up thinking about revision surgery.

Even beyond swelling, there are many people who consider nose revision surgery. Among the consultation posts on KOKOLINE, or among people who come in for actual consultations, there are many inquiries about revision surgery rather than first-time surgery, and the reason is usually the appearance.

Nose deformity caused by contracture, a blunt tip even after surgery, a low bridge compared with the tip, and more—there are many reasons. The reason revision surgery is unavoidable in so many cases is that appearance is judged not by others, but by the person’s own satisfaction.

The cost of nose revision surgery is usually said to be twice that of the first surgery, but it may not be twice as much, and it can also be more than that.

If the revision surgery uses autologous rib cartilage, the cost can even exceed double.

In general, the time when nose revision surgery can be performed is within 2 weeks after surgery, or after 6 months have passed.

If the implant must be removed because of inflammation, it can be removed within a month. However, if you want revision surgery because you are unhappy with the shape, it is usually better to decide after about a month, once the swelling has gone down, and to have the revision after 6 months, when the tissues inside the nose have settled.

Among those who come to KOKOLINE for consultations, some cases are simple nose revision surgeries, while others are difficult revision cases. Because revision surgery involves various limiting conditions, the chance that the result will be 100% exactly what the patient wants is slim.

Before surgery, through consultation, if you understand what is possible and what is not possible, and check the virtual simulation that shows the expected post-surgery appearance at KOKOLINE, you can predict in advance how much your nose shape can change.

For everyone preparing for revision surgery, do not be too discouraged, and through consultation, please check what your nose is like now and how much improvement is possible after surgery.
