Revision Rhinoplasty: Deciding with Care and Precision

Hello.

This is VIBE Plastic Surgery.

The nose is located at the very center of the face, highlighting the three-dimensional aspect of the facial structure and defining the overall atmosphere of one’s appearance.

The problem arises when a primary rhinoplasty does not yield the desired results, necessitating a revision rhinoplasty.

An even greater challenge is that revision rhinoplasty itself is highly complex. Since it involves re-operating on an area that has already been incised, concerns such as secondary complications and additional scarring are naturally more prominent.

Revision rhinoplasty is typically performed 6 months after the initial surgery, once the overall tissue has softened and inflammation has completely subsided.

However, if there are severe functional or aesthetic issues with the nose, early surgery may be possible based on a medical professional’s diagnosis.

Furthermore, to reduce recovery time and minimize tissue damage, it is crucial to use limited incisions to preserve the tissue in its original state as much as possible.

At VIBE Plastic Surgery, we perform ‘Revive Revision Rhinoplasty’—a restorative procedure that returns the nasal line and tip to their optimal state, reviving them into the most beautiful shape.

‘Why Revision Rhinoplasty?’

If the initial surgery was performed hastily, it can lead to side effects such as implant shifting, the implant showing through the skin, a crooked nose, a drooping tip, or dissatisfaction with the overall line.

When these side effects occur, they must be corrected through revision surgery. This is significantly more difficult because it requires addressing the failure factors of the first surgery while simultaneously managing both aesthetic and functional aspects.

Revision rhinoplasty must correct both the shape and the internal structure of the nose.

However, if one chooses revision surgery based solely on reviews or cost without thorough consultation and systematic design planning, there is a constant risk of side effects like inflammation and a high likelihood of low satisfaction. Caution is essential.

‘VIBE’s Unique Details in Revision Rhinoplasty’

We identify various causes of failure and conduct precise diagnosis via 3D CT to find the surgical method and materials best suited for your specific nasal condition.

Additionally, since every individual has different side effects, facial features, skin types, and cartilage conditions, we meticulously weigh these factors to design a nose shape that suits the individual, improving both aesthetic and functional aspects simultaneously.

In revision rhinoplasty, various materials are utilized. It is vital to appropriately use autologous tissues such as ear cartilage, septal cartilage, rib cartilage, dermis, or fascia, as well as artificial implants like silicone, donated rib cartilage, acellular dermal matrix, or Medpor, depending on the individual’s condition. A 1:1 customized revision surgery is a must.

At VIBE Plastic Surgery, our Board-Certified Representative Director, who possesses extensive clinical experience and know-how, operates a 1:1 dedicated system from the initial consultation to surgery and recovery.

Furthermore, CCTV is installed in operating rooms, consultation rooms, and recovery rooms. All spaces are designed as private rooms, allowing you to use our facilities with peace of mind and comfort during these times.
