Revision Rhinoplasty: If You're Considering It

Revision rhinoplasty: if you're considering it?

<Real-life rhinoplasty case at DM Plastic Surgery>

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

helping balance the facial features and giving the face more dimension.

Because it is the center of the face, even a small change can improve the image,

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

However, while many undergo surgery 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 a surgery performed to improve discomfort caused by unsatisfactory results or side effects,

and it is important to apply the appropriate surgical method based on an accurate understanding and diagnosis of the current condition of the nose.

In particular, because it is more difficult than the first surgery and requires a high level of skill,

a specialist medical team with long experience,

advanced surgical skill, and extensive anatomical knowledge should perform the procedure

so they can accurately identify the problems from the previous surgery and achieve highly satisfactory results.

When is revision rhinoplasty possible?

In the case of augmentation rhinoplasty to raise the bridge of the nose, it may be possible even 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 involves greater tissue damage than the first operation, caution is advised,

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

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

At DM Plastic Surgery, after clearly identifying the problems through sufficient consultation with a specialist,

we proceed with customized one-on-one counseling, which leads to a high level of satisfaction.

Revision rhinoplasty is recommended for people like these.

• People whose implant is prominent and the surgery is very noticeable

• People who develop inflammation after surgery

• People whose nasal tip or bridge has become thin or red

• People whose nasal tip has lifted and become shorter due to contracture

• People whose implant is bent, moving, or visible 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 3D-CT is used to accurately identify problems in the nose and select the appropriate diagnosis and surgical method.

With the direct procedure performed by specialists in eye and nose plastic surgery whose abundant clinical experience and know-how have been proven,

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

Before surgery, we thoroughly examine even the areas that cannot be seen with the naked eye through a 3D-CT precision analysis system,

minimizing the possibility of a second surgery failing.

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

so many patients visit us based on recommendations from acquaintances, and individual patient satisfaction is also high.

What are the surgical methods by case?!

Silicone implants, which are commonly used in rhinoplasty, often cause problems such as movement if they are not properly fixed,

or being visible through the skin if the skin is 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 causes of inflammation before performing the operation.

In such cases, receiving an earlier visit and examination followed by revision surgery is a way to prevent worsening,

and because the way to address side effects differs by case, proceeding with surgery after sufficient and systematic consultation

with the attending medical staff can lead to better results.

As revision rhinoplasty is repeated more times, the amount of usable material such as septal cartilage becomes insufficient,

and normal tissue also gradually loses strength.

Therefore, it should be decided carefully with medical staff who have extensive experience in various surgical cases

and a wealth of anatomical knowledge of facial contours, and it is best to avoid repeated revision surgeries if 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, so we recommend visiting our clinic and receiving one-on-one consultation with a specialist medical team!

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

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

please visit quickly and receive appropriate treatment!
