Nose Revision Surgery: The Ultimate Guide for Women in Their 20s

Welcome to the KOKO Plastic Surgery blog! I’m Dr. Jo Bae-jung, and with over 22 years of experience in nasal procedures, I am thrilled to share insights about nose revision surgery, a critical procedure for refining and perfecting your nasal appearance.

What is Nose Revision Surgery?

Nose revision surgery, also known as revision rhinoplasty, is a follow-up procedure performed when the results of a previous rhinoplasty do not meet expectations or when functional issues arise. This type of surgery addresses complications such as unwanted changes in the nose’s shape, including issues with implants, overly pointed nasal tips, nasal collapse, or post-surgical inflammation.

Key Features of Revision Rhinoplasty

🔹 Surgery Duration: Typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours.
🔹 Anesthesia: Performed under sleep anesthesia.
🔹 Hospital Stay: Not required; the procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis.
🔹 Suture Removal: Generally needed after 4 to 6 days.
🔹 Recovery Period: Most patients recover within approximately 7 days.

Candidates for Revision Surgery

Nose revision surgery is often considered in the following situations:

🔸 Prominent Nasal Implant: When the silhouette of the nasal implant is visible, indicating a previous surgery.
🔸 Nasal Bridge Issues: When the width of the nasal bridge is too narrow or the height is excessively high.
🔸 Deformed Nasal Tip: When the nasal tip becomes distorted or lower than desired.
🔸 Shortened Nose: When the nose appears shorter following the initial surgery.
🔸 Pointed or Thin Skin: When the nasal tip becomes pointed and the skin becomes thin.
🔸 Crooked Nose: When the nose remains crooked after surgery.
🔸 Redness or Movement: When the nasal bridge or tip becomes red, or if the implant moves or becomes visible.

When to Consider Revision Rhinoplasty

It’s generally advisable to wait at least six months after the initial surgery before considering revision rhinoplasty. For minimal adjustments, such as those to the nasal bridge, a revision might be considered as early as three months post-operation. Nasal tissues typically stabilize around six months after the first surgery. A consultation with a specialist will help determine the optimal timing for your revision.

🔸 Prominent Nose: When the nose stands out excessively or appears disproportionate.
🔸 High Nasal Tip: If the nasal tip is unnaturally high.
🔸 Collapsed Nasal Tip: If the tip collapses due to inadequate support.
🔸 Bulbous Nose: When the nose tip appears bulbous due to insufficient fat removal or wide cartilage.
🔸 Improper Implant Position: If the implant was not placed correctly and becomes unstable.
🔸 Thinning Skin: If the implant causes thinning or redness of the skin.
