Nose Revision Surgery Q&A: How to Remove Nasal Foreign Bodies?

Many people suffer from side effects caused by inappropriate foreign materials used in nose procedures.

Anyone desperately needing nasal foreign body removal would naturally want to ask questions and seek answers.

Nasal foreign bodies that cause serious problems in the medical field are mostly due to implants that are no longer used for various reasons.

In most cases, paraffin or liquid silicone used in illegal surgeries has remained for decades, and sometimes, people experience foreign body reactions after receiving non-dissolving fillers in unauthorized countries.

Usually, these foreign bodies initially cause no particular problems or, if problems do arise, they progress very slowly. Therefore, in the early stages after surgery, people do not realize there is an issue, and decades pass.

If nose revision surgery is needed due to foreign body issues, the foreign body is first removed, and then the empty space is usually filled with the patient’s own tissue or cartilage is grafted.

The important point is that when performing foreign body removal and reconstructive surgery, sufficient time must be taken to plan the surgery.

A different approach is required compared to general nose surgery or nose revision surgery.

Rather than simply removing the foreign body, it is necessary to preserve the surrounding tissues as much as possible and reshape the nose. Therefore, it is important to approach it gradually over a sufficient period.

Most abnormal symptoms improve significantly after the first surgery, but sometimes the nose may appear lower, leading to an undesirable shape.

However, since a subsequent surgery to refine the shape will be planned, patients need to be a little more patient.

Let's check the common questions asked by those suffering from nasal foreign bodies.

Improving the deformed nose shape after nasal foreign body removal

It is difficult to recover to the original appearance immediately after surgery.

It takes more than 6 months for the swelling to subside and for the nose to look natural, but more than 80% can recover to their original nose shape, so you don’t need to worry too much.

However, if cartilage or skin was excessively removed during the first surgery, or if the nose had severe inflammation or capsular contracture, or if nasal foreign body removal was performed after revision surgery, various variables can occur. Therefore, it is safer to continuously observe the post-operative progress and respond accordingly.

My nose seems lower after nasal foreign body removal during revision surgery. Is this normal?

If the height of the nasal bridge was adjusted with an implant, removing it might make the nose appear lower than before the correction, but there is no need to worry as nose revision surgery will be performed using an appropriate method.

This is because it is possible to solve the problem by conducting a thorough examination once again and then selecting an implant suitable for your own tissue and skin characteristics to perform the revision surgery.

Even those who have an aversion to artificial implants or experience side effects can safely undergo surgery using autologous tissue. Therefore, if a problem is identified, it is wise to consult a plastic surgeon as soon as possible.
