Revision Rhinoplasty: A Better Result Comes from Identifying the Cause of the First Surgery First!

Revision rhinoplasty: A better result comes from identifying the cause of the first surgery first!

<Actual rhinoplasty case at DM Plastic Surgery>

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

helping balance the facial features and add dimensionality to the face.

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

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

Many people proceed with the expectation of a natural change in appearance,

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

continue to increase steadily as well.

Revision rhinoplasty 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 the appropriate surgical method.

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

dexterous technique, and abundant anatomical knowledge.

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

Revision rhinoplasty, when can it be done?

In the case of augmentation rhinoplasty that raises the bridge of the nose, it may be possible within 3 months after surgery,

but generally 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, caution is necessary,

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

Identifying the problems and causes of the first surgery is the most important part.

At DM Plastic Surgery, we identify the problem clearly through 충분한 consultation with a specialist,

and proceed with customized one-on-one counseling accordingly, which leads to high satisfaction.

Revision rhinoplasty is recommended for the following people.

• People whose implant is prominent and makes the surgery look obvious

• People who develop inflammation after surgery

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

• People whose nose tip has been lifted and shortened due to contracture

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

• People who are dissatisfied with the appearance after surgery

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

and through 3D-CT we accurately identify the problems in the nose and select the appropriate diagnosis and surgical method.

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

we carry out individualized revision rhinoplasty tailored to each person’s preferences and condition.

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

and minimize the possibility of failure in the second surgery.

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

which is why many patients visit us on the recommendation of 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 fixed properly,

or becoming visible when the skin was thin.

The surgical method differs by case when the problem is related to the implant, and in revision surgery it is important to fully identify

the cause of inflammation and remove it before proceeding with surgery.

In such cases, receiving prompt consultation and examination followed by revision surgery is a way to prevent worsening,

and because the method for correcting side effects differs depending on the case, proceeding with surgery after sufficient and systematic consultation with the attending medical staff

can lead to better results.

Director of DM Plastic Surgery Eye & Nose Plastic Surgery Center

With each additional revision rhinoplasty, the amount of usable materials such as septal cartilage becomes insufficient,

and normal tissues gradually lose their strength.

Therefore, it should be carefully decided by medical staff with extensive experience in a variety of cases and rich 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 that is 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 after visiting our clinic, we recommend receiving a one-on-one consultation with specialist medical staff!

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

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

please visit as soon as possible and receive appropriate care!
