No More Failures! How to Choose a Clinic for Revision Nose Surgery?

Today, we’re back with useful information,

This is BT Plastic Surgery🫡

For those considering revision nose surgery, the biggest concern is

"What if it fails again?" — that anxiety.

This is especially true if there is a severe deformity in the shape of the nose, such as a contracted nose,

or if there is not enough cartilage left to use from a previous surgery.

In such cases, surgery using autologous rib cartilage, often called the last hope for revision nose surgery,

can be an excellent alternative.

Let’s take a closer look at how autologous rib cartilage can help correct a contracted nose and improve the nasolabial angle.

Why is autologous rib cartilage needed for a contracted nose?

A contracted nose refers to a condition in which, after nasal surgery, inflammation or an immune reaction to an implant causes

scar tissue inside the nose to harden and shrink,

leading to the tip of the nose being pulled upward and becoming shorter.

Because the shape of the nose changes and functional problems may also occur, advanced revision surgery is needed.

Advantages of autologous rib cartilage

🧱 Strong support and durability : It is the strongest autologous tissue that can firmly support weakened nasal tip tissue caused by contracture. It is less likely to change shape or be absorbed over time, making it advantageous for maintaining a well-defined nasal line.

💯 Ample harvestable amount : Even when ear cartilage or septal cartilage has already been used up or is insufficient,

a sufficient amount of rib cartilage can be harvested, making it the best material for rebuilding the overall structure of a collapsed nose.

🛡️ Low risk of side effects and inflammation : Because your own tissue is used, the risk of inflammation or rejection is significantly lower than with artificial implants. This is an important factor in improving the success rate of revision surgery.

Nasolabial angle correction

I won’t miss even the smallest difference.

Just as important as the height and line of the nose is the

nasolabial angle.

If the nasolabial angle is too narrow or too wide, it can create an awkward or stuffy impression.

In particular, when the nose becomes shorter and more upturned due to contracture, the nasolabial angle becomes excessively large (a turned-up nose), and the nostrils are more exposed from the front.

🥕 Improving the nasolabial angle with autologous rib cartilage : Autologous rib cartilage can extend and raise the nasal tip sufficiently with its strong support. It can stably lower the columella (the nasal pillar), improving a nose that appears upturned, and if a procedure to reinforce the lower part of the nasal pillar is performed together,

the nose can be corrected closer to the ideal nasolabial angle.

👄 Effect of improving a protruding mouth : By improving the nasolabial angle and giving the nose line more dimension,

you can also expect a relative correction effect for a protruding mouth, making it appear less prominent, thus improving the overall facial balance.

For a successful revision nose surgery

Revision nose surgery is a high-difficulty procedure that goes beyond a simple cosmetic operation and restores both the function and aesthetics of the nose.

Even when autologous rib cartilage is used, the result can vary greatly depending on the medical team’s skill.

Accurate diagnosis

• The cause of the previous surgery’s failure (inflammation, implant problems, insufficient cartilage, etc.) and

  the current condition of the nose (degree of contracture, condition of the skin tissue) must be accurately identified.

Medical team with extensive experience

• It is important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive revision nose surgery experience,

  who can skillfully perform the entire process from harvesting autologous rib cartilage to nasal reconstruction.

Customized design

• Rather than simply making the nose higher, a 1:1 customized design that considers the proportions and harmony of the entire face

  is necessary to create the most natural and refined result.

The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours, and you can go home right away without hospitalization.
