Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty

Corrects problems from previous nose surgery — implant deviation, a crooked bridge, thin or reddened tip — after assessing scar tissue and remaining soft tissue to plan cartilage use.

Who it suits

  • Implant shifting or visible edges
  • Thin, red or contracted nasal tip
  • Unhappy with the previous result

Technique highlights

  • Scar tissue and skin thickness are assessed first
  • Emphasis on autologous cartilage for long-term safety

Surgical steps

  • Assessment of the existing structure and problems
  • Removal of old material and scar release
  • Reconstruction with cartilage and bridge realignment

Recovery & aftercare

  • Splint removed around day 7
  • Stay in Korea 7-10 days
  • Revision swelling lasts longer; the shape settles in 6-12 months

Risks & things to consider

  • Outcome depends on remaining tissue and cannot match a primary case in every way
  • Wait at least 6 months after the previous operation

Frequently asked questions

How long should I wait after my last surgery?

At least six months is generally advised so scar tissue and soft tissue can settle before revision.
