Revision Rhinoplasty (L-shaped Implant, Nasolabial Angle Correction)
A case study of a revision rhinoplasty for a female patient in her 30s to replace an L-shaped silicone implant and improve the nasolabial angle.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Had L-shaped silicone surgery several years ago
# Desires a more prominent columella and a higher nasal tip
* Consultation
# A pre-operative CT scan confirmed the presence of an L-shaped implant. Although not fully captured in the photos, the skin at the tip of the nose had thinned and become reddish.
# We planned to improve the retracted columella and the nasal tip, which lacked sufficient projection.
* Surgical Plan
# Nasal Tip Surgery
- Columella correction
- Drooping tip correction
# Bridge Surgery (Implant replacement)
* Post-operative Progress
# The patient wanted a sleek, straight-semi-curved line. I am pleased that the desired nose shape harmonizes well with her overall facial features.
# With the improvement of the columella and the blunt tip, her overall image appears much more sophisticated!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
