Nose Revision Surgery Methods from Private Plastic Surgery Clinic

Today's topic is nose revision surgery.

Revision surgery is significantly more difficult than the initial surgery.

This is because it requires accurately identifying the cause of the first surgery's failure, clearly defining the direction for improvement, and then proceeding with the revision surgery to achieve desired results and increase satisfaction.

Therefore, if you are considering nose revision surgery, it is crucial to consult thoroughly with a dedicated medical professional who possesses extensive clinical experience and expertise from various surgical cases.

Today, at Private Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Lee Jin-hwa has meticulously explained different types of nose revision surgery methods for those contemplating the procedure.

The most common case is revision surgery for a low nose.

Many patients come in after an initial surgery, feeling that the height is insufficient and desiring a higher nose.

In such cases, the most important part is the nasal tip.

Dr. Lee emphasized that for a prominent nose, it is essential to consider how firm the cartilage support is!

Revision surgery for an upturned nose or a long nose.

For a long nose, the nasal tip can be shortened to reshape it.

The key here is the nasal support!

If the support is not firm, the tip can drop again or be pulled upwards.

Therefore, by firmly supporting the septal cartilage at the nasal tip and tying the cartilage to this firm support to prevent its movement, both upturned and long noses can be improved.

Revision surgery for a bulbous nose, which gives a broad appearance.

A bulbous nose can appear fat or broad when viewed from the front.

In cases of a bulbous nose with thick skin, soft tissue is carefully removed from the inside.

However, if too much tissue is removed, the skin can become thin and uneven, or in severe cases, it can perforate and necrotize. Therefore, compared to individuals with thin skin, there are limitations, and caution is advised.

The most challenging contracture nose revision surgery.

Contracture nose revision surgery is arguably the most difficult among all revision surgeries.

In cases of contracture nose, individuals who had inflammation in their nose experience tissue damage as a sequela of the inflammation.

This causes the soft tissue to contract, leading to an upturned nasal tip, or in severe cases, damage that perforates the skin.

Since the cartilage must be restored to its original state before the next step of shaping the nose can be performed, it is crucial to restore the cartilage before shaping if you are considering contracture nose revision surgery.

We have briefly explored various methods for nose revision surgery, including those for low nose, upturned nose, long nose, bulbous nose, and contracture nose.
