Revision rhinoplasty: Analyzing the cause of the first nose surgery failure comes first!

<Real-life rhinoplasty case from DM Plastic Surgery>

The nose plays an important role in breathing and is located at the center of the face,

helping balance the features and adding dimensionality to the face.

Because it is at the center of the face, even small changes can improve the overall image,

and as interest has increased, more and more people are planning rhinoplasty.

However, while many proceed expecting a natural change in appearance through rhinoplasty,

inquiries about revision surgery due to unexpected side effects from nose surgery or dissatisfaction

continue to increase steadily.

Revision rhinoplasty is a surgery performed to improve discomfort caused by unsatisfactory results or side effects,

and it is important to accurately understand and diagnose the current condition of the nose and apply the appropriate surgical method.

In particular, because it is more difficult than the first surgery and requires advanced skill,

it should be performed by a specialist medical team with extensive experience,

refined surgical skill, and rich anatomical knowledge

so they can clearly identify the problems from the previous surgery and achieve highly satisfying results.

Revision rhinoplasty: When is it possible?

In the case of augmentation rhinoplasty that raises the bridge of the nose, it can be performed as early as within 3 months after surgery,

but generally, it is recommended after 6 months, when the tissues formed during surgery have stabilized.

During revision surgery, tissue damage is greater than in the first surgery, so caution is necessary,

and rather than forcing correction, it is best to improve the nose into the most natural shape that suits you.

The most important thing is to understand the problems and causes of the first surgery.

At DM Plastic Surgery, after thoroughly identifying the issues through sufficient consultation with a specialist,

they proceed with personalized one-on-one counseling, which leads to high satisfaction.

Revision rhinoplasty is recommended for the following people.

-Those whose implants are prominent and make the surgery obvious

-Those who develop inflammation after surgery

-Those whose nasal tip or bridge has become thin or red

-Those whose nasal tip has lifted and become shorter due to contracture

-Those whose implant is bent, moves, or shows through the skin

-Those who are dissatisfied with the shape after surgery

At DM Plastic Surgery, revision surgery is recommended for people with these types of concerns,

and 3D-CT is used to accurately identify the problems in the nose and choose the appropriate diagnosis and surgical method.

With direct surgery performed by a medical team specializing in eye and nose surgery, whose abundant clinical experience and know-how have been proven, we carry out customized 1:1 revision rhinoplasty tailored to each individual's preferences and condition.

Before surgery, a precise 3D-CT analysis system is used to carefully examine even areas that cannot be seen with the naked eye, minimizing the possibility of failure in the second surgery. In addition, through sufficient consultation, we create a nasal bridge and tip that best match the current facial line, so many patients visit us through recommendations from acquaintances, and patient satisfaction is also high.

What are the surgical methods by case?!

Silicone implants, which were commonly used in rhinoplasty,

often caused problems such as movement if not properly fixed, or being visible when the skin was thin.

The surgical method differs depending on the case caused by implant-related issues, and during revision surgery it is important to completely identify and remove the cause of inflammation before operating.

In such cases, getting evaluated and then undergoing revision surgery as quickly as possible is a way to prevent worsening, and because the method for compensating for side effects differs by case,

proceeding with surgery through sufficient and systematic consultation with the attending medical team can lead to better results.

Due to contracture, the nose was gradually becoming shorter,

and the patient visited us for correction.

The photo above is from 1 month after revision rhinoplasty.

After identifying the cause of the first surgery failure, a customized operation was performed,

and through the photo above, you can see that the nose was improved into a line and shape harmonious with the features,

and that the nose, which had been shortening due to contracture, improved naturally.

With each additional revision rhinoplasty, the amount of materials that can be used, such as septal cartilage, becomes insufficient,

and normal tissues gradually lose strength. Therefore, the surgery should be carefully decided by medical staff with extensive experience in various cases and rich anatomical knowledge of facial contours,

and it is best to avoid repeated revision surgeries whenever possible.

In addition, while it is important to create a nose shape that harmonizes with the face while considering individual features,

the internal structure of the nose must also be considered.

Therefore, we recommend visiting our clinic and receiving a 1:1 consultation with a specialist medical team!

If abnormalities such as inflammation or contracture occur, prompt treatment is necessary,

and if symptoms other than the usual pain explained by the hospital appear,

please visit as soon as possible and receive appropriate care!
