Nose Revision Surgery

GANGNAMSEOYON NOSE SURGERY is dedicated to delivering natural, aesthetically pleasing results—even for those who are undergoing revision rhinoplasty. With a focus on precision and functional recovery, Gangnamseoyon Plastic Surgery offers advanced solutions for patients unsatisfied with their previous nasal surgeries.

What Is Nose Revision Surgery?

Nose revision surgery, also known as revisional rhinoplasty, is performed when a patient is dissatisfied with the results of a previous nose surgery. It addresses issues such as asymmetry, implant displacement, structural instability, or unwanted changes in nasal appearance or function. In some cases, complications such as inflammation or visible deformities may arise, making revision necessary.

Gangnamseoyon emphasizes that revision rhinoplasty is not simply a cosmetic correction—it is a complex surgical procedure requiring in-depth diagnosis, strategic planning, and an experienced surgeon to deliver safe, effective, and final results.

When Is Revision Rhinoplasty Needed?

Gangnamseoyon recommends considering revision nose surgery under the following circumstances:

1. Unfavorable Aesthetic Outcomes – If the shape or height of the nose does not meet expectations.

2. Visible or Shifting Implants – Cases where the inserted material becomes visible or moves.

3. Nasal Tip Deformity – If the nasal tip changes shape postoperatively.

4. Overly Elevated Nose Bridge – Resulting in an unnatural appearance.

5. Functional Issues – When nasal airflow is obstructed or altered.

6. Crooked or Deviated Appearance – If the nose appears slanted or distorted over time.

Ideal Timing for Nose Revision Surgery

Revision surgery should not be rushed. Gangnamseoyon advises patients to wait at least six months after their previous procedure. This waiting period allows internal tissues to stabilize and soften, ensuring a safer and more predictable outcome. Inflammation, internal scarring, and tissue health must be carefully assessed before determining the appropriate time for revision.

Causes of Rhinoplasty Failure

Understanding the root cause of a failed rhinoplasty is crucial before undergoing a revision. At Gangnamseoyon, surgeons conduct an extensive analysis of both the patient's current nasal condition and the reasons behind the initial failure.

Common issues include:

• Improper implant selection

• Structural damage

• Misalignment between implant and natural tissue

• Infection or inflammation

• Inadequate surgical technique

By diagnosing these factors thoroughly, Gangnamseoyon ensures that the final revision delivers both aesthetic harmony and nasal functionality.

Customized Surgical Methods Based on Condition

Every revision case is unique. Gangnamseoyon offers tailored surgical techniques depending on the patient's condition:

• Inflammation-Related Deformity: When infection or inflammation has caused the nose to turn red or tender, surgical removal of infected tissues and proper sterilization precede any reconstructive work.

• Implant Displacement: Misaligned implants require careful repositioning or replacement with more suitable materials to restore nasal balance.

• Visible Implants: Thin skin may make implants appear unnatural. These are corrected by using appropriate implant sizes or switching to more biocompatible options.

• Overprojection or Height Issues: For patients whose nasal bridges were raised too much in previous surgeries, revision reduces the height and creates a more natural profile.

• Collapsed or Crooked Nose: Structural issues causing the nose to collapse or appear skewed are corrected by cartilage grafts or realignment of the nasal framework.
