A revision surgery to correct unsatisfactory results or complications (capsular contracture, asymmetry, implant visibility, etc.) from previous rhinoplasty.
Overview
Nose revision surgery is more challenging than primary rhinoplasty due to scar tissue and adhesions. It involves removing previous implants, replacing with autologous tissue (rib cartilage, dermal fat), resolving capsular contracture, and correcting asymmetry. The surgical approach is determined by the previous surgical history and current tissue condition.
Mechanism
Revision rhinoplasty addresses prior unsatisfactory results by removing or replacing implants, harvesting autologous cartilage (ear, rib, septal), reconstructing the nasal framework, releasing capsular contracture, and correcting asymmetry. Rib cartilage is often needed when septal cartilage has been depleted from prior surgery.
Effects
Correction of implant-related complications, improved nasal shape and symmetry, resolution of contracture or deviation, functional breathing improvement, and restoration of natural nasal appearance.
Duration
Permanent. Final shape stabilizes at 6-12 months. Longer healing than primary rhinoplasty due to scar tissue and reduced blood supply.
Recovery
Splint for 5-7 days. Swelling peaks at 2-3 days. Major swelling resolves in 2-3 weeks. Tip swelling resolves over 6-18 months. Bruising for 1-2 weeks.
Side Effects
Higher complication rate than primary surgery. Swelling, bruising, numbness, asymmetry, infection, implant displacement, cartilage warping, breathing difficulties, and prolonged recovery. Multiple revisions may be needed.
Price Range
3,000,000-8,000,000 KRW depending on complexity and graft source.
Target Audience
Those unsatisfied with previous rhinoplasty, those with implant complications (contracture, displacement, infection), and those with functional issues from prior nasal surgery.
