There are many people who are
considering improving their appearance with rhinoplasty due to a change of
perception regarding plastic surgery. However, as rhinoplasty becomes more
common, the side effects rapidly increase as well.
The nose is located in
the center of the face and, because small changes in this area can bring about
large changes in appearance, sufficient consultation is required. Many people
look for revision rhinoplasty due to cosmetic reasons such as unsatisfactory or
awkward shape or functional problems like nasal congestion and rhinitis.
For revision rhinoplasty, it
is desirable to do the surgery 6 months to 1 year after the initial surgery,
when the damaged skin and tissue are stable and after the recovery period.
Also, if the nose becomes inflamed, with symptoms such as reddish skin, or the
tip becomes elevated due to contracture, it is only safe to perform the surgery
after removing the implants and the inflammation has disappeared.
Dr. Kang from Wojin hospital
said, "It is advised that patients receive surgery from a surgeon who has
extensive clinical experience because the level of skill required for revision
surgery is higher than that of the initial rhinoplasty. It is important to make
sure that a safe operation is possible through a more accurate analysis. Also,
it's necessary to check if the clinic can work with the otolaryngologist to
resolve the functional problems that are present in some cases. All of these
factors can lead to high satisfaction with revision surgery."
