[Rhinoplasty] Revision Nose Surgery

REVISION RHINOPLASTY


The most frequently consulted case of plastic surgery is rhinoplasty, as many cases as eyelid surgery.

Nose is positioned right in the middle of a face, so it is considered as the main feature of the face which draws the most attention. And, with simple correction or improvement added onto the nose structures, one can achieve more balanced looks.

Because rhinoplsasty includes usage of an implant in most cases, making an imprudent

decision on rhinoplasty may lead to a greater chance of postoperative side effects.
It is found that more than 30% of the patients who had undergone rhinoplasty went for their revision surgery.

According to Dr. Lee Jin Hwa from ITEM clinic, out of many reasons for revision nose surgery, ‘dissatisfying results of surgery’ takes more part than postoperative complications such as infection or contracture.


Many cases where an ‘L-shaped’ silicone implant was used for the primary surgery, without cartilage graft, the dermal tissues of the nose tip may become thinner and result in modification of the overall nose shape. And, as time goes by, the nasal tip may become droopy and the profile of the nose bridge or the tip may change as well.











In case of having a droopy tip or change in the nose shape after surgery, cadaver rib cartilage graft is mostly recommended for revision surgery to strengthen the columella, thus preventing it from modification.

Along with this procedure, ear cartilage graft on the nose tip can result in a balanced height of the tip.

And Dr. Lee advised that patients need to discuss their symptoms and reasons for revision surgery thoroughly with a doctor, specialized in rhinoplasty, who is in charge of a whole process of the surgery.
