If You’re Considering Revision Surgery Due to a Drooping or Fallen Nasal Tip After Rhinoplasty

*Depending on the individual, surgical results may vary, and side effects such as bleeding and inflammation may occur.

Hello,

This is Bit Plastic Surgery,

a clinic where you are treated by an otolaryngology specialist😊

The patient above

visited Bit because the nasal tip had dropped after the first nose surgery,

and received revision rhinoplasty at Bit Plastic Surgery

[autologous rib cartilage + long nose + bulbous nose]

surgery:)

There are various reasons why the nasal tip may droop or fall over time after rhinoplasty.

In particular, the nasal tip, which should be maintained naturally,

can change noticeably even with small changes,

so revision surgery should be performed only after accurately identifying the cause.

💡 Main causes of a drooping nasal tip

|01| Weakened cartilage support structure

When the septal cartilage or columellar support cartilage that supports the nasal tip

is weak or not properly fixed,

it may fail to withstand the weight over time and sag.

|02| Cartilage resorption

If the autologous cartilage used in surgery

after some time is naturally absorbed or deforms,

the support weakens and the nasal tip may drop.

In particular, ear cartilage is soft and has relatively weak support,

so it may be difficult to maintain the nasal tip if used alone.

|03| Excessive septal cartilage removal

If too much septal cartilage inside the nose is removed,

the central structure becomes weak and the nasal tip may sag as if collapsing.

|04| External impact or habits

If you unconsciously touch or rub your nose frequently,

or if external physical impacts are repeated,

the nasal tip may gradually come down.

|05| Skin and tissue healing characteristics

If the skin at the nasal tip is thick or lacks elasticity,

even if it seems fine immediately after surgery,

it may gradually sag under gravity.

When undergoing revision rhinoplasty, be sure to provide CT images and your previous surgical history

to the surgeon performing the procedure,

and have a thorough explanation and understanding of whether the desired result is achievable through surgery before proceeding.

The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours,

and you can go home immediately without needing to be admitted.
