Rhinoplasty Revision

Rhinoplasty Revision is a procedure that redesigns the shape of the nose by accurately analyzing the cause when issues such as a drooping Nasal Tip, deviation, dissatisfaction with the nasal dorsum line, capsular contracture, or inflammation occur after the initial rhinoplasty. Newline considers the careful, complete removal of the capsule from the previous surgery without damage to be essential, and functional revision nasal surgery is performed concurrently when functional problems are present.

What causes the need for Rhinoplasty Revision?

It is said that 1 in 3 patients who undergo rhinoplasty are dissatisfied with their results. According to statistics from actual patients who visited Newline Plastic Surgery from 2021 to 2023, the causes of Rhinoplasty Revision were dissatisfaction with appearance (55%), complications (28%), and the development of a condition (Nasal Obstruction Correction) (17%). The detailed causes of dissatisfaction with appearance (55%) are as follows. · Drooping Nasal Tip after the initial surgery: 46% · Deviation not corrected: 26% · Dissatisfaction with the nasal dorsum line: 12% · Nostril Asymmetry Correction: 9% · Other: 7%

Newline Rhinoplasty Revision Cases

CASE 1. My Nasal Tip has dropped

Drooping Nasal Tip revision surgery · Before surgery → 3 months after surgery

If the Cartilage support is weak after nasal surgery, the Nasal Tip may droop over time because it cannot withstand skin tension. Depending on the desired height, the support of the weakened Cartilage can be reinforced with Ear Cartilage, Donor Rib Cartilage, and more.

CASE 2. My nose is crooked

When the surgically placed Cartilage is imbalanced or asymmetrical, the Nasal Bridge and Nasal Tip column may appear crooked. Correction should be performed from the Nasal Tip through the Septal Cartilage and columella to address the issue at its source.

CASE 3. My nose looks pinched

When the nostrils are pinched and the nasal dorsum collapses, creating an overall sunken appearance like a collapsed roof, Newline nasal reconstruction is needed. As this is a highly complex procedure, a natural and ideal nasal shape can be achieved only after carefully assessing the previous surgical history, current skin tissue condition, degree of nasal deviation, height, asymmetry, and the size of the nasal bones and Septal Cartilage, followed by thorough surgical planning.

Features of Newline Rhinoplasty Revision

Newline Plastic Surgery's Rhinoplasty Revision focuses on achieving an “ideal nose shape” through a thorough surgical plan based on accurate identification of the cause. As the causes and reasons for revision vary, we accurately and precisely identify the cause of the current issue and establish the most suitable surgical approach for each individual, including the optimal line and proportions, to improve the nose into a harmonious shape.

Find Your Desired Nose Line

Rediscover the nose line you were not satisfied with after your initial surgery. The nose line is designed in consideration of a profile angle of 75–81°, a nasolabial angle of 95–100°, and aesthetic lines.

KEY POINT. Complete removal of the Capsule without damage

A Capsule is a membrane that forms around an Implant when it is inserted into the body. If revision surgery is performed without completely removing the Capsule from the previous surgery without damage, the nasal line may look unnatural and blunt, potentially leading to another revision surgery. In addition, if the Capsule is left in place, it may contract excessively and push the Implant downward, or thin the skin and mucosa around the Nasal Tip or columella, causing the Implant to protrude through. Therefore, revision surgery requires greater caution than the initial procedure.

When should Rhinoplasty Revision be performed?

We recommend undergoing revision surgery after at least 6 months to 1 year. It is performed safely after the skin and tissues damaged by surgery have sufficiently recovered.

Planning is important for Rhinoplasty Revision and nasal reconstruction

We provide solutions by analyzing each individual's issues and causes and establishing an accurate surgical plan. For Rhinoplasty Revision and nasal reconstruction, it is important to accurately identify the problems caused by prior surgery. As these are highly complex procedures, a natural and ideal nasal shape can be achieved only by carefully assessing the surgical history, current skin tissue condition, degree of nasal deviation, height, asymmetry, and the size of the nasal bones and Septal Cartilage, and establishing a thorough surgical plan.

What if functional problems occur after nasal surgery?

If a condition is present, functional revision nasal surgery is available. Various examinations and consultations with an otolaryngology specialist are needed to determine the cause of the symptoms.

STEP 1. 3D CT and detailed analysis

STEP 2. Detailed nasal Endoscope examination

STEP 3. Consultation with an otolaryngology specialist

STEP 4. One-on-one consultation with a plastic surgery specialist

3D CT and nasal Endoscope examinations are used to precisely diagnose aesthetic and functional issues. The nasal bones, Septal Cartilage, overall condition of the skin tissue, and any asymmetry that cannot be identified externally are analyzed three-dimensionally. · Assess the presence of Septoplasty and the degree of Septal Cartilage deviation · Assess the presence and severity of hypertrophic rhinitis, Nasal Obstruction Correction, and nasal valve stenosis (degree of inferior turbinate swelling and nasal valve stenosis)
