[Diva Plastic Surgery Dr. Kim Jong-myung's Column] Strawberry Nose that Changes with the Weather, Corrective Rhinoplasty Can Help

Some people experience stress due to a red nasal tip after undergoing nose surgery and a certain period has passed. If this is a problem that arose after surgery, rather than a natural change due to weather, it may be a side effect that requires correction.

When the nasal tip appears red like a ‘strawberry nose’ and the implant used during rhinoplasty feels pointed, it is usually one of the side effects that can occur as the skin thins. Therefore, appropriate measures are needed for improvement.

In such cases, it is likely that the skin's thickness has significantly thinned, but reinforcement using autologous dermal fat tissue or artificial dermis can help with correction. If the thickness is adequate, improvement can be achieved by adjusting the height using cartilage.

Another cause is inflammation. This is a case where the nasal tip turns red and there is a risk of capsular contracture, which would necessitate revision surgery. If the timing is missed due to advice that surgery is needed after adhesions disappear and tissues stabilize after the initial surgery, the tissues may weaken or the skin may thin, leading to poor blood circulation.

Therefore, when proceeding with treatment, it is crucial to plan after careful analysis of each case, considering the overall balance of the face, and meticulously checking the timing. Furthermore, an accurate diagnosis of the current condition and problems should enable planning regarding materials and methods.

Some consider solving all problems at once, but this is not advisable for safety. Sufficient consultation should precede to ensure problems can be safely resolved through staged treatment.
