What Is Revision Rhinoplasty at SH Plastic Surgery?

SH Plastic Surgery

It is surgery to resolve complications after nose surgery, such as a drooping tip, an upturned tip or a nose that is too high.

  • Damaged tissue
  • Weakened support structure
  • Scar tissue
  • Effects of previous implants

An accurate structure must be redesigned within an environment that is already deformed.
This requires far greater anatomical understanding and more precise surgical experience than a first surgery.

The goal of revision rhinoplasty is not "a nose that looks pretty now," but
a nose that does not collapse even after a long time.
Dr. Seonghun Kim, SH Chief Director

  1. 1

    Precise analysis of even hidden problems
    Precise structural diagnosis

    We analyze the cause of the previous surgery's failure based on the internal structure of the nose, not its outward appearance.

  2. 2

    Process-focused explanations that reduce anxiety
    In-depth 1:1 personalized consultation

    The operating surgeon personally explains and plans every step, from consultation to design, surgery and recovery care.

    The key step to avoid another failure
    Customized design based on the cause of failure

    Every revision has a different cause. SH designs around the cause, not the type.

  4. 4

    Structural correction down to the details
    Improving function, structure and aesthetics together

    The tip, cartilage, soft tissue and support structure are corrected into a structure that lasts over time.

SH's Approach to Facial Structure

Leonardo da Vinci's
structural analysis
SH's revision rhinoplasty

To draw a beautiful face, Leonardo da Vinci
did not simply trace its outline.
He divided the face by reference points and analyzed the role of each position.

SH's revision rhinoplasty
interprets the nose not as a single line, but as a set of structures and transition points.

※ Results of surgery or procedures vary from person to person.

Types of Revision Rhinoplasty

  1. 01

    Drooping tip

    Corrected when tip support is insufficient or there is an implant problem.

  2. 02

    Dissatisfaction with the nose line

    Corrected when the bridge or alar line is unsatisfactory.

  3. 03

    Deviated nose

    Corrected when the nasal bone is deviated or the implant has shifted.

  4. 04

    Bulbous nose not improved

    Corrected when a bulbous nose has not improved after correction.

  5. 05

    Hump still present

    Corrected when a hump still remains.

  6. 06

    Inflammation

    When inflammation occurs in people with thin skin, the implant is removed or replaced.

  7. 07

    Moving implant

    Corrected when the implant has not settled properly.

  8. 08

    Visible implant

    Corrected when the implant has descended into the tip or the skin has thinned so that it shows through.

  9. 09

    Contracted nose due to complications

    Corrects a nose contracted by complications such as capsular contracture.

Your own tissue that does not change over time: autologous tissue

For safe and natural results, SH Plastic Surgery favors structural reconstruction
based on autologous tissue, which has the highest biocompatibility.

SH selects the most suitable autologous tissue for each patient's tissue condition and performs customized structural reconstruction.

  • Autologous dermis & fascia Buttock dermis, post-auricular fascia, scalp fascia
  • Autologous cartilage Septal cartilage, ear cartilage, rib cartilage

SH Autologous Dermis Graft Procedure

Autologous dermis uses tissue from the dermal layer beneath the skin.
With a low absorption rate and high stability, it is effective for maintaining shape in the long term.

  1. Step 01

    1. Buttock dermis harvest

    Autologous dermis is harvested from the buttock area.

  2. Step 02

    2. Bridge dermis graft

    A dermis graft naturally refines the bridge line.

  3. Step 03

    3. Tip dermis graft

    Adds natural volume and height to the tip.

SH Autologous Fascia Graft Procedure

Autologous fascia uses a thin, strong fibrous membrane that surrounds muscle.
It acts as a cushion between the skin and implant and is effective for creating natural, soft lines.

  1. Step 01

    1. Post-auricular or scalp fascia harvest

    Autologous fascia is harvested from behind the ear or from the scalp.

  2. Step 02

    2. Bridge fascia graft

    Naturally refines the bridge line and creates a soft contour.

  3. Step 03

    3. Protective layer over the implant

    It covers the implant to reduce show-through and gives a natural feel and shape.

SH Autologous Cartilage Procedure

With precise cartilage design tailored to each patient's condition, SH achieves both structural stability and natural results.

  1. Step 01

    1. Rib cartilage harvest

    Rib cartilage harvest: the required amount of rib cartilage is harvested from below the chest.
    (A small scar of about 2~3cm may result)

  2. Step 02

    2. Cartilage carving

    The harvested cartilage is precisely carved for use as struts and for reinforcing the tip structure.

  3. Step 03

    3. Structural reconstruction and fixation

    The collapsed structure is rebuilt to secure tip support and stability.

  4. Step 04

    4. Final line

    A nose collapsed by contracture or deformity is finished with a natural, stable line.

SH Plastic Surgery's Surgical Principles

Plastic surgery is not simply a technique for changing appearance;
it is medicine that understands the structure and balance of the face.

For natural and stable results, SH Plastic Surgery performs surgery
based on the following principles.

1

We analyze structure first

The eyes, nose and face are not independent structures; they influence each other to form your impression.

SH Plastic Surgery does not look only at the shape of the eyes or nose; we analyze

  • Eyeball position
  • Brow bone structure
  • Facial skeleton
  • Tissue balance

to understand the facial structure first.

2

We value balance over excessive change

The goal of plastic surgery is not to change the face excessively
but to improve its overall balance.

SH Plastic Surgery considers facial proportions and harmony
to pursue natural and stable change.

3

Surgery begins with design

Good results are not suddenly created in the operating room.
We create a design suited to your facial structure through accurate analysis, and the surgery is performed based on that design.

SH Plastic Surgery performs design-based surgery grounded in structural analysis.

4

We consider long-term stability

Results should look natural not only right after surgery but also as time passes.

SH Plastic Surgery chooses the surgical method
with tissue stability and long-term change in mind.

5

Patient safety comes first

The most important thing in plastic surgery is patient safety.

  • A dedicated, accountable medical team
  • Surgeon name disclosure in the operating room
  • Systematic management of the surgical environment

These measures keep the surgical environment safe.

SH PHILOSOPHY

Natural beauty
begins with structure and balance

SH Plastic Surgery designs change based on an understanding of facial structure,
not a simple change in appearance.

The change that suits each patient most naturally:
that is SH Plastic Surgery's standard for plastic surgery

SH Precision Diagnosis System

Diagnosis that analyzes even hidden causes makes the difference in results.
Before surgery, SH Plastic Surgery goes beyond a simple assessment of appearance, using a precise diagnosis that considers function · structure · internal condition
to reduce unnecessary surgery and lower the likelihood of revision.

Precise endoscopic diagnosis

Before surgery, endoscopy accurately diagnoses rhinitis, congenital nasal cavity deformities, sinusitis, nasal valve problems and other
internal structures that cannot be seen with the naked eye

Functional problems are identified in advance to plan surgery that considers both aesthetics and function
Accurate diagnosis is what makes results last.
