Revision Rhinoplasty: Fixing a Raised and Shortening Nasal Tip

<Real-life DM Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty patient>

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

It helps balance the facial features and gives the face more dimension.

Because it sits at the center of the face, even a small change can improve the overall image.

As interest has increased, more people are planning rhinoplasty.

While many undergo the procedure expecting a natural change in appearance,

inquiries about revision surgery due to unexpected side effects or dissatisfaction after nose surgery are also steadily increasing.

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

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

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

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

refined surgical skill, and extensive anatomical knowledge.

Only then can the problems from the previous surgery be clearly identified,

leading to more satisfying results.

Revision rhinoplasty, when is it possible?

For augmentation procedures that raise the bridge of the nose, it may be possible within 3 months after surgery,

but in general, we recommend waiting until after 6 months, when the tissues created during surgery have stabilized.

Because revision surgery causes greater tissue damage than the first surgery, it is best to be cautious.

Rather than forcing correction, the ideal approach is to improve the nose into a natural shape that best suits the individual,

and the most important step is understanding the problems and causes of the first surgery.

At DM Plastic Surgery, after fully identifying the problem through 충분한 consultation with a specialist,

we proceed with customized one-on-one consultations, which leads to high satisfaction.

Revision rhinoplasty is recommended for the following people.

• People whose implants are prominent and make the surgery look obvious

• People who develop inflammation after surgery

• People whose nasal tip or bridge becomes thin or red

• People whose nasal tip is raised and shortened due to contracture

• People whose implant is bent, moves, or shows through the skin

• People who are dissatisfied with the shape after surgery

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

and we accurately identify the nasal problems through 3D-CT and choose the appropriate diagnosis and surgical method.

With direct surgery by a specialist medical team in eye and nose plastic surgery, whose rich clinical experience and know-how have been proven,

we perform personalized one-on-one revision rhinoplasty tailored to each individual’s preferences and condition.

Before surgery, through a precise 3D-CT analysis system, we carefully examine even the parts that cannot be seen with the naked eye,

minimizing the possibility of failure in a second surgery.

In addition, through sufficient consultation, we create a bridge and tip that best match the current facial line,

so many patients come to us through recommendations from acquaintances, and patient satisfaction is also high.

What surgical method is used for each case?!

Silicone implants, which are commonly used in rhinoplasty, can cause frequent problems if they are not properly fixed,

such as shifting or becoming visible when the skin is thin.

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

In these cases, getting examined and having revision surgery as soon as possible is a way to prevent worsening,

and because the method for addressing side effects differs by case, proceeding with surgery through thorough and systematic consultation with the attending medical team can lead to better results.

The patient came in to correct a nose tip that was gradually becoming raised and shortened.

The photo above shows the result 1 month after revision rhinoplasty.

The cause of the first surgery’s failure was identified and a customized surgery was performed,

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

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

As revision rhinoplasty is repeated, the amount of materials available for use, such as septal cartilage, becomes insufficient,

and normal tissue gradually loses strength as well.

Therefore, you should make your decision carefully with a medical team that has extensive surgical experience in various cases and a strong understanding of facial anatomy,

and it is best to avoid repeated revision surgery as much as possible.

It is also important to create a nose shape that harmonizes with the face while considering the individual’s facial features,

but the internal structure of the nose must also be considered.

For that reason, we recommend visiting our clinic and receiving a one-on-one consultation with our 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 treatment!
