Revision Rhinoplasty

THE FACE PLASTIC SURGERY Putting an End to Repeated Surgeries

THE FACE PLASTIC SURGERY

A Personalized Approach to
Ensuring Ideal Revision Surgery

Revision Rhinoplasty

At THE FACE, revision rhinoplasty
goes beyond simply reshaping the nose.
It begins with a precise evaluation
of the current condition to identify
the root causes and determine the
most effective, individualized solution.
We conduct a comprehensive assessment
of nasal height and length, tip shape,
bone structure, skin thickness, and even
the condition of existing implants to
establish the optimal timing and plan.
Through advanced 3D-CT–based analysis
and the techniques of experienced
plastic surgeons, tissue damage and
risk of bleeding are minimized, ensuring
safety and exceptional results.

Questions About Revision Rhinoplasty

When Is the Right Time
for Revision Surgery?

CASE 01 Standard Revision Cases

In most cases, revision surgery
should be performed at least
6 months after primary surgery.
Immediately after surgery, the
tissues are still healing and swelling
can obscure the true outcome,
making accurate assessment difficult.
Waiting until the tissue softens
ensures a safer procedure and
more predictable, high-quality results.
CASE 02 When Severe Complications Occur Early

If serious complications such as
severe inflammation or capsular
contracture occur shortly after surgery,
priority should be given to removing
the problematic implant and treating
the condition first.
Once the tissues have
sufficiently healed, revision surgery
can then be safely planned.

A Wide Range of Cases Requiring
Revision Rhinoplasty

Causes of
Revision Rhinoplasty

case 01 Implant-Related Issues

Implant displacement, visibility, or
foreign body reactions resulting in
an unnatural nasal contour.
case 02 Structural Problems of the Nasal Tip

The tip feels hard or droops,
resulting in an unsatisfactory shape
and loss of definition.
case 03 Asymmetry or Contour Issues

The bridge appears crooked or
overall balance is off from both
the front and side views.
case 04 Contracture or Deformity

Upturning, hardening, or deformation
of the nose over time, requiring
advanced structural reconstruction.
case 05 Functional Discomfort

Breathing difficulties such as nasal
obstruction requiring both functional
and aesthetic correction.
case 06 Dissatisfaction with Results

When the surgical outcome does not
harmonize with the overall facial
appearance or personal goals.

Characteristic
Pros
Cons

Harvested from the patient’s own 6th–7th rib
Provides sufficient cartilage volume
Strong support ideal for structural reconstruction
Design flexibility for tip and bridge
Requires harvesting procedure
Risk of small scarring under the chest

Donated Costal Cartilage

Characteristic
Pros
Cons

Processed and sterilized cartilage from a donor
No harvesting required, can be used immediately
Shorter surgery time
No harvesting required
Limited utility
Higher absorption rate compared to autologous rib
