Revision Rhinoplasty: From Failure Analysis to Materials | 4-Month Success Case

Hello :)

This is BT Plastic Surgery, here to help you comfortably solve your nose concerns.

Many people are considering revision rhinoplasty because they are unhappy with the shape after nose surgery or because of functional issues such as nasal congestion.

Revision surgery requires much more to consider than the first surgery, so it calls for even greater caution.

Today, we’ll focus on the materials you’re most curious about for revision surgery, from silicone and donor rib cartilage,

to detailed correction methods such as crooked nose, bulbous nose, and nostril lowering. Let’s break down the key points! 🧐

The support structure

[Silicone & Donor Rib Cartilage]

In revision surgery, internal tissue is often already damaged, or the septal cartilage has already been used.

• Silicone: It is used to smoothly raise the bridge of the nose. In revision surgery, carefully shaped silicone tailored to the shape of the nasal bone must be inserted to prevent lifting or bending.

• Donor rib cartilage: This is the best alternative when the septal cartilage is weak or insufficient in quantity. It is recommended for people who find harvesting their own rib cartilage burdensome,

and because its support is very strong, it helps firmly hold the nasal tip in place so it does not droop.

Fix nasal congestion and asymmetry at the same time!

[Deviated Septum & Crooked Nose]

If your nose looks crooked, you should not simply correct the outer appearance.

• Deviated septum: This is when the partition inside the nose is bent.

If you only straighten the outside without correcting this, the nose may become crooked again or breathing may become difficult.

• Crooked nose correction: The bent bone is cut or cartilage is repositioned to straighten the center of the face.

The key is to address both 'function' and 'aesthetics' at the same time!

Say goodbye to a blunt nasal tip!

[Bulbous Nose & Alar Reduction] A refined look is determined by the nasal tip.

• Bulbous nose correction: The thick fat at the nasal tip is removed and the spread-out cartilage is brought together.

• Alar reduction: If the nostrils appear to flare outward, reducing the width of the alar area adds definition.

In revision surgery, the incision method that minimizes scarring is especially important.

A subtle difference that is easy to miss

[Nostril Lowering]

Do your nostrils look too upturned after surgery?

If the nostrils appear to rise upward, like a so-called 'pig nose,' nostril lowering is the answer.

By lowering the cartilage on the wing of the nostril, the amount of nostril exposure is reduced,

making it a hidden technique that creates a much calmer and more elegant impression!

💡 Checklist for a successful revision surgery

Revision surgery costs much more time and money than the first surgery. That is why having the mindset of “this really has to be the last time” is important.

But if you rush to choose a clinic out of enthusiasm alone, you may repeat the same failure.

So we prepared this.

Before your consultation, be sure to check these three things!

3D CT scan: Does it scientifically analyze the condition of the bones and cartilage inside the nose?

Surgeon expertise: Does the specialist have direct experience performing a wide range of revision surgery cases?

Aftercare: Is there a systematic program such as swelling laser treatment and scar management?

Revision rhinoplasty is not simply a 'redo'—it is a process of 'restoration' and 'recreation.'

Don’t worry alone and stress yourself out; get an accurate diagnosis of your nose’s current condition together with a specialist!

The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours,

and you can go home the same day without needing to be hospitalized.
