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.
