Rhinoplasty Revision Plastic Surgery: For a Careful Choice

SH Plastic Surgery

Although many people desire a high, sleek nasal bridge like Westerners,

it is not easy to achieve such a nose shape due to the characteristics of Asians, who typically have round and low noses.

For this reason, people try to achieve a pretty nose through rhinoplasty,

but for various reasons, it sometimes ends in failure.

The nose is located at the center of the face, and among other body parts,

it is the first prominent, three-dimensional feature.

Therefore, if the shape is crooked or drooping, or if implants have been inserted excessively,

it inevitably looks very unnatural,

causing an immense amount of stress.

However, performing another improvement on an area that has already been damaged once

cannot be an easy process, so when making another attempt for satisfactory results,

the criteria for choosing a revision rhinoplasty clinic should not be simple.

Today, for those who are wondering where the right place for them is,

we would like to explore what criteria you should consider when looking into it.

Besides its aesthetic function, as many people know,

the nose also plays an important role in enabling us to breathe.

Because of this, various nerves and cells are concentrated in the nose,

and as mentioned earlier, operating again on an area that has already suffered damage

inevitably increases the level of difficulty.

Then, if you want to improve your nose again for various reasons after a previous procedure,

around when should you visit?

Depending on the individual's nose condition, swelling, inflammation, and circumstances,

it is best to proceed after allowing the nose a sufficient stabilization period.

Our clinic recommends waiting an average period of about 6 months to 1 year,

and even if you undergo another nose procedure, we advise getting it at a time when the nose has sufficiently recovered

so that it is not subjected to excessive strain.

Common reasons why people visit a revision rhinoplasty clinic

typically include dissatisfaction with the shape, inflammation, or contracture.

In order to improve these problems, it is necessary to accurately

understand and identify the structure of the patient's existing nose shape.

Because each individual has a different shape and structure,

even a 1 mm difference can somewhat lower satisfaction levels.

As a way to check where we should head,

you can see whether, in the process of designing the shape, the angle between the tip of the nose and the lips is 95–105º,

properly designed at an ideal angle according to sound principles;

whether the materials used during the procedure are suitable for the patient's condition;

whether the patient's concerns are accurately identified and appropriate methods are found and carried out

so that the patient can achieve improvements in shape;

and whether the clinic's scale, services, and aftercare are fully sufficient.

However, among these individuals, there are those who not only dislike the shape of their nose

but also experience difficulty in the process of breathing.

Various causes for this can typically be found, such as rhinitis, nasal valve issues, and a deviated septum.

As a way to allow you to breathe comfortably, from a functional perspective,

there is a method of carrying out a process that improves the nose into a shape that facilitates breathing.

However, if the process of redesigning the nose shape and the process of improving the functional aspects

are carried out separately, it can feel burdensome for the patient to undertake.

For this reason, our clinic provides procedures so that you can comfortably and without burden

undergo these two processes at the same time.

If you are dissatisfied with your nose shape and also feel difficulty in breathing,

we hope you will consider addressing both together to improve your quality of life.

When it comes to caring for the nose, where many nerves and blood vessels are concentrated,

if it is not performed based on accurate knowledge and proper principles,

the satisfaction brought by the results is bound to decrease.

Therefore, so that you can regain your confidence through results

that can always satisfy both the patient and the medical team,

together with our chief director who possesses abundant know-how and experience gained through diverse clinical cases,

and to ensure that every process is carried out safely and accurately,

we utilize a variety of equipment to help you achieve improvement.

Just as each face has a different structure and appearance,

the improvement methods tailored to them are also different,

so in order to recover more quickly using a method suited to the process and prevent subsequent problems from occurring,

we accompany you with close 1:1 management through all processes, from consultation to follow-up care.

Among them, to introduce a few pieces of equipment that help with rapid recovery:

As a resonance oscillator, the Vesalius causes almost no tissue damage due to its low temperature and special wavelength,

minimizes swelling, and allows for a quick return to daily life;

and because it performs dissection while directly visualizing the incision site with the naked eye to minimize tissue and nerve damage,

we also possess the Clavion Full HD endoscope, which reduces pain and bleeding.

While the skills and competence of the medical staff are important in a revision rhinoplasty clinic,

whether they possess diverse equipment to provide more reliable care is also one of the important factors,

so please thoroughly compare this point when deciding where to go.

When looking for a revision rhinoplasty clinic, checking whether it can achieve improvements that are natural yet match the shape you desire

has established itself as an essential part;

thus, when redesigning the nose shape, the "proper principles" considering the harmony and balance of the face

must be strictly observed.

If the design is made solely to be pretty without considering a shape that suits the face,

it can give an unharmonious impression,

which may result in an awkward appearance.

At our clinic, for everyone who visits our revision rhinoplasty clinic,

in order to present a design that suits them and satisfies both the patient and the medical staff,

we are always by your side, so if you are hesitating about where to go,

how about moving forward with us?

and although we are closed on public holidays and Sundays, for office workers who cannot make time flexibly

or are short on time,

The questions you have,
