[Diva Plastic Surgery] Failed Aquiline Nose Rhinoplasty Revision: How to Maximize Effectiveness and Satisfaction

The nose is located at the center of the face!

The ‘nose’ is a representative area that plays a crucial role in determining one's image.

In the past, many sought solutions to improve their nose complex,

but with unexpected results and problems arising,

the number of people for whom revision solutions are unavoidable is increasing, requiring caution.

Especially in the case of aquiline nose surgery, which is a delicate procedure with noticeable before-and-after differences and effects, and must be performed meticulously considering both appearance and function,

it is particularly important to resolve issues through revision solutions~!

If a nasal implant moves, the bridge of the nose becomes too high,

inflammation occurs in the nose, the nose is crooked, the implant is visible, or

problems arise due to contracture, then even more prompt decision-making is needed

to resolve the issues.

And there's an important point!

There is an appropriate timing for revision rhinoplasty~!

While it can vary depending on the individual's nose condition,

on average, 6 months to 1 year after the initial nose surgery is recommended.

This timing can be determined through consultation and precise diagnosis with medical staff.

If the symptoms are severe, a solution might be possible even earlier.

If problems occur, it's best to first get a precise diagnosis and consultation.

And if you don't want to experience failure twice,

it's important to find medical staff with extensive experience.

The medical team at Diva Plastic Surgery, through their many years of experience and know-how,

accurately identifies the cause of nose problems,

and applies appropriate solutions considering the shape and size of the nasal bone, as well as functional issues,

thereby improving nose problems as quickly as possible.

Above all, revision solutions are more

complex and difficult than initial solutions, requiring meticulous and skilled techniques from the medical staff.

Failed Aquiline Nose Rhinoplasty Revision: How to Maximize Effectiveness and Satisfaction

The nose, being located in the center of the face, plays a crucial role in determining a person's image. Therefore, if someone who underwent rhinoplasty to upgrade their appearance or resolve a complex does not achieve the desired results, the emotional distress and sense of loss can be greater than with other surgeries, and most decide to undergo revision surgery.

In the case of aquiline nose rhinoplasty, which is a delicate procedure with noticeable before-and-after differences and effects, and requires meticulous attention to both appearance and function, there are particularly many cases considering revision surgery after the initial procedure.

Aquiline nose surgery can lead to problems such as insufficient aesthetic improvement, as well as functional issues where internal nasal diseases can worsen if the aquiline part is excessively trimmed, or if osteotomy, selectively performed when the nasal bridge is wide, is done excessively. Furthermore, it can cause new nasal conditions such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, sinusitis, impaired breathing, or deviated septum, requiring more caution than any other rhinoplasty.

To maximize the effectiveness and satisfaction of failed aquiline nose rhinoplasty revision, what aspects should be focused on?

Dr. Kim Jong-myung (Diva Plastic Surgery, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon) advises, ‘Revision surgery, especially revision rhinoplasty, is more challenging than the first surgery due to the increased limitations influenced by previous surgeries. Therefore, the most important thing is to accurately assess the patient's current nasal condition to identify the problems. Thorough preparation, from collecting complete information on previous surgical methods to determining the materials and techniques to be used for revision surgery, is essential before the operation. Post-operative care is also very important.’

He added, ‘Timing is also crucial for revision surgery. It is safer and yields better results to proceed after the adhesions from the first surgery have disappeared and the nasal tissues have stabilized. While it varies for each individual, typically 6 months to 1 year after the initial surgery is considered most appropriate.’

Meanwhile, the nose is an organ where aesthetic purposes are important, but functional aspects must also be considered. Therefore, for both aesthetic improvement and functional improvements such as breathing, it is safest to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a complete understanding of the nose's anatomical structure and extensive clinical experience with various cases, before undergoing surgery.
