Classy Revision Rhinoplasty

  • Revision rhinoplasty refers to undergoing nose surgery again due to unsatisfactory aesthetic or functional results after an initial procedure.
  • Compared to the first surgery, revision cases carry a higher risk of inflammation and tissue damage, requiring greater surgical precision.
  • Therefore, it is essential to have the procedure performed by a highly skilled surgeon, with both aesthetic and functional aspects carefully considered for a systematic approach.

Various Rhinoplasty Materials

  • Septal Cartilage
    Located inside the nose, septal cartilage is often used to raise the nasal tip or extend the nose length. As it is harvested from inside the nose, no additional external incision is required.
  • Rib Cartilage
    With excellent support and durability, rib cartilage is ideal for surgical use. It can be harvested in sufficient quantities, making it effective for both functional and aesthetic enhancement.
  • Autologous Dermis
    Typically harvested from the buttocks or chest, it is a good option for creating a natural nasal shape in patients with thin skin.
  • Ear Cartilage
    Similar in shape to the nose, ear cartilage is rounded and elastic. It is particularly useful for shaping the nasal tip and supplementing insufficient septal cartilage.

3 Principles of Revision Rhinoplasty

  • Ideal Facial Proportions
    An ideal nose is symmetrical, with a length equal to one-third of the vertical length of the face, and should harmonize in size, height, and shape with the rest of the facial features.
  • Accurate Analysis & Design
    Rather than simply raising the bridge, we design a beautiful nose by considering the shape and proportions of both the bridge and the tip, tailored to each individual.
  • 1:1 Customized Approach
    As the nose is the central feature of the face, we tailor the surgery to best match the forehead, cheekbones, eyes, chin, and lips for overall facial harmony.

Revision Methods by Case

CASE 01
Implant Misalignment
If the implant shifts to one side or does not align with the nasal bridge, the nose may appear crooked.
  • BEFORE
  • AFTER 2 WEEKS

During revision, we recreate the implant pocket to ensure proper alignment and correct placement. If the crookedness is due to the patient’s natural nasal structure rather than surgical results, crooked nose correction surgery will be required.

CASE 02
Pinched Nasal Tip
This occurs when the nasal tip cartilage is tied too tightly during surgery, or if it twists afterwards, creating a pinched appearance on both sides of the tip.
  • BEFORE
  • AFTER 2 WEEKS

We reconstruct the nasal tip cartilage to restore a softer, more natural contour.

CASE 03
Mobile Implant
If the implant is placed beneath the skin instead of between the bone and periosteum, it may shift and become visible.
  • BEFORE
  • AFTER 2 WEEKS

The implant can be corrected by placing it precisely beneath the periosteum.

CASE 04
Nostril Shape Deformity
This may occur if the natural nasal tip cartilage is weak or if cartilage repositioning and grafting were insufficient during surgery, resulting in asymmetry or distortion.
  • BEFORE
  • AFTER 2 WEEKS

Proper repositioning and reinforcement of the nasal tip cartilage can improve the shape.

CASE 05
Upturned Nose
This can happen if infection occurs after surgery or repeated revisions cause scar tissue around the implant to contract, shortening and lifting the tip.
  • BEFORE
  • AFTER 2 WEEKS

Releasing the scar adhesion, extending the skin, and reinforcing the nasal tip cartilage are key to preventing recurrence.

Q&A 01

Do you use the same implant as in the first surgery?

If the implant used in the initial surgery had no issues, it is not always necessary to replace it during revision. However, in most cases, we recommend replacing it due to concerns such as implant visibility, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with shape.
