Nose Revision Surgery: Improving a Raised, Shortened Nose Caused by Contracture

Nose revision surgery: Improving a raised, shortened nose caused by contracture

<Actual nose surgery case from DM Plastic Surgery>

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

it helps balance the facial features and adds three-dimensionality to the face.

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

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

However, while some proceed expecting a natural change in appearance through nose surgery,

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

Nose revision surgery is 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 an appropriate surgical method accordingly.

In particular, because it is more difficult than the first surgery and requires a high level of skill, it should be performed by specialist medical staff with long experience,

advanced technical skill, and extensive anatomical knowledge,

so that the problems from the previous surgery can be clearly identified and a highly satisfying result can be achieved.

Nose revision surgery: 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 tissue damage is greater in revision surgery than in the first surgery, it is best to proceed carefully,

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

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

At DM Plastic Surgery, we first clearly identify the issues through sufficient consultation with a specialist,

and then proceed with customized one-on-one counseling based on that, which leads to high satisfaction.

Nose revision surgery is recommended for the following people.

• Those whose implant is prominent and the surgery looks 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 the nose has become shortened due to contracture

• Those whose implant is bent, moving, or visible through the skin

• Those who are dissatisfied with the appearance after surgery

At DM Plastic Surgery, revision surgery is recommended for these types of cases,

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 extensive clinical experience and know-how have been proven,

we carry out 1:1 customized nose revision surgery tailored to each person's preferences and condition.

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

and we are minimizing the possibility of failure in a second surgery.

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

so many patients come after being referred by 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 shifting if they were not properly fixed, or becoming visible when the skin was thin.

The surgical method differs depending on the case caused by implant-related issues,

and in revision surgery, it is important to completely identify and remove the cause of inflammation before operating.

In such cases, it is a way to prevent the condition from worsening to visit the clinic and undergo examination as soon as possible before receiving revision surgery,

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

With each additional nose revision surgery, the amount of usable material such as septal cartilage becomes insufficient,

and normal tissue also gradually loses strength.

Therefore, you should make a careful decision with medical staff who have extensive experience in various cases of surgery and a wealth of anatomical knowledge of facial contours,

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

In addition, while it is important to create a nose shape harmonious with the face by considering each person's facial features,

it is also necessary to consider the internal structure of the nose as well,

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

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

and if symptoms appear beyond the usual pain explained by the hospital,

please visit as soon as possible and receive appropriate treatment!
