Types of Nose Revision Surgery
Lifted Nose Tip (Contracture)
When the nose is contracted due to persistent inflammation, it lowers the raised tip of the nose and columella. In this case, the built-up skin is stretched through extensive peeling and capsule removal, and the alar cartilage that ran upward is separated and brought down, is fixed to the ideal position with stronger support. The tip of the nose is usually erected using autologous costal cartilage, and the bridge of the nose is raised using an implant or autologous dermis.
Implant Showing Through
This can occur when an excessively high implant is placed in thin skin, and can be resolved by lowering the implant or replacing it with autologous tissue.
Implant Height Correction
If the bridge of the nose becomes too low or too high as the swelling goes down, it can be replaced with an appropriate implant taking into account the tip of the nose, the height of the forehead, and the overall proportion of the face.
Nostril Asymmetry
If asymmetry occurs in the nostrils, it is corrected by repositioning the alar cartilage or transplanting additional cartilage.
Drooping Nose Tip
If the support for the tip of the nose is insufficient and the columella is short, it is rebuilt with stronger support.
Implant Relocation
If the implant is not on the center line and is distorted, it is corrected into place.
Bent Nose
If the bridge of the nose appears crooked because the implant is tilted to one side, or if the support at the tip of the nose is weak and falls to one side, the implant is adjusted to the center line and the tip of the nose is corrected with stronger support.
Nose Tip Cartilage Protrusion
This occurs when the tip of the nose is raised excessively or the transplanted cartilage is too small. This is resolved by lowering the height of the tip of the nose, transplanting slightly larger cartilage, and, if necessary, reinforcing the skin at the tip of the nose with dermal grafting.

Post- Surgical Process
On the day of surgery
Bruising and swelling may develop gradually, and breathing through the mouth and falling asleep may be uncomfortable. Make sure you drink water often.
Day 1
As it’s most swollen, bruising and swelling may extend to the area around the eye.
Day 5-7
The swelling in your nose will begin to decrease and you will be able to breathe easier once the stitches and tape are removed. The autologous rib harvest site may be painful when you apply pressure to the abdomen, but it is bearable and will disappear after about a month.
Week 2-3
About 60-70% of the swelling disappears, and the swelling at the tip of the nose goes away slowly.
2-3 months
Swelling disappears by more than 90%, and minor swelling gradually disappears, making the tip of the nose soft.
Precautions and Care

- To minimize swelling and bruising, we recommend applying cold compress for 3-4 days. It is recommended to proceed with 15-20 minutes of steaming followed by a 5-minute rest.
- You should sleep in an upright position with your head elevated for 7 days.
- There may be bruising, swelling, and pain for a few days after surgery. Depending on individual differences, it will disappear after about a week.
- Post-operative dressing, bandages, cotton, etc. should not be removed by oneself
- Accessories such as glasses and sunglasses can be worn after 4 weeks.
- Symptoms such as throbbing, pulling, tingling, and numbness may occur for about a month, but this is normal.
- If there is sudden pain, swelling or redness, please visit the hospital.
- Until the stitches are removed, water should not come into contact with the stitches area.
- Washing your face can be done in the afternoon on the day of stitch removal, and light makeup can be applied after stitches and tape are removed.
- A light walk helps reduce swelling and bruising, so we recommend taking a walk after removing the stitches and tape.
