Hello, this is BT Plastic Surgery 🤍

Today, we’d like to talk about nose revision surgery, which many people worry about.

Even after getting primary rhinoplasty,

some people come back to the hospital because their nose looks short, the tip still feels blunt and bulky,

or the nostrils are too visible and make their impression seem strong.

In those cases, it takes more than simply replacing an implant;

a procedure that restructures the nose itself is needed.

And at the center of that is autologous rib cartilage.

Why autologous rib cartilage?

In revision surgery, there needs to be enough cartilage and it needs to be strong

to create a beautiful shape.

Because ear cartilage or septal cartilage alone can have limitations,

autologous rib cartilage is often used.

Advantages of autologous rib cartilage

✔️ Strong

✔️ Sufficient quantity

✔️ Lower risk of side effects because it comes from your own body

In particular, for revision surgery that requires tip support, autologous rib cartilage is used almost as if it were essential.

Short nose correction

A short nose is a nose whose tip is turned upward or whose overall nose length is short.

Because the balance of the face is off, it can create an impression that feels less cute and more heavy or stuffy.

In such cases, the septum is extended with autologous rib cartilage, and the tip is brought downward

to adjust the nose length to match the facial proportions.

From the side as well, this creates a much more natural and smooth line.

Broad nose improvement

A broad nose refers to a state in which the nasal tip is spread out and looks blunt.

Especially if it becomes wider when smiling, the impression can look somewhat dull and heavy.

For a broad nose, along with surgery to bring the tip cartilages together,

work is also done to raise and support the tip with autologous rib cartilage.

Through this process, the nasal tip can be changed to look more defined and refined.

Visible nostrils

Something that surprisingly many people find stressful is

when the nostrils show too much.

The shorter the nose or the more upturned it is, the more the nostrils are visible from the front.

In these cases, it is necessary not only to lower the tip,

but also to perform surgery that covers the nostrils together for a natural improvement.

Using autologous rib cartilage to support the nostrils can reduce nostril exposure while also

stabilizing the overall nasal line.

In short,

short nose, broad nose, visible nostrils

When these three issues are present together, simple revision surgery is difficult to solve the problem,

and structural reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage is absolutely necessary.

When it comes to nose revision surgery, it is most important to proceed only after thorough consultation with an experienced medical team at a hospital that can consider both function and aesthetics.

The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours, and you can go home right away without being admitted. Gangnam nose surgery clinic Before surgery, low-dose 3D CT imaging is used
