Revision Rhinoplasty: Why Choose Vibe Plastic Surgery?

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

Those who have experienced a failed rhinoplasty

naturally have fears about revision surgery.

When deciding on revision rhinoplasty,

Vibe Plastic Surgery will explain

what you should focus on.

​

The reasons for considering revision rhinoplasty

include dissatisfaction with the nose line, shape deformation, nasal inflammation, etc.

There can be various reasons.

​

If you are considering revision rhinoplasty,

you must identify the cause of the failure through accurate analysis

and perform the surgery tailored to your situation

to lower the probability of side effects occurring.

To achieve safe and satisfactory results,

it is recommended to undergo surgery with a

board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience

and rich anatomical knowledge.

​

For revision rhinoplasty, it is best to wait until

the damaged tissues from the previous surgery have fully recovered.

Only then can you achieve satisfactory results

without any side effects.

​

*We recommend performing the surgery

at least 6 months to 1 year after the primary surgery.

​

Why Choose Vibe Plastic Surgery for Revision Rhinoplasty?

​

In the case of revision rhinoplasty,

precise diagnosis through 3D-CT

and analysis of the cause of the previous failure are necessary

to ensure there are no further failures.

​

Vibe Plastic Surgery

not only conducts precise cause analysis using 3D-CT

but also adheres to the principle of customized revision rhinoplasty

tailored to your individual face.

#DeviatedNose #BulbousNoseCorrection.

​

What is Autologous Costal Cartilage?

An incision of about 1.5 to 2 cm

is made in the rib area on the side,

and about 3 to 4 cm of the inner cartilage is harvested

to be used during rhinoplasty.

Because it is autologous tissue harvested from your own body,

it has the advantage of a relatively low probability

of side effects such as post-operative inflammation, foreign body reaction,

and shape changes like contracture.

​

Autologous costal cartilage is widely used

when there is no autologous cartilage (ear cartilage, septum) available due to repeated revisions,

when the nose is small and short,

or when the nose has become shortened due to contracture.

It is highly recommended in such cases.

​

Even for the same revision rhinoplasty case,

the causes can vary depending on conditions

such as the individual's internal nasal structure and skin.

To expect satisfactory results,

a customized surgical plan must be established

before proceeding with the surgery.

​

Vibe Plastic Surgery,

true to the name VIBE, does not pursue uniform beauty

but adheres to the principle of natural plastic surgery

that enhances your unique atmosphere and feel.

​

Dr. Yoo Young-moon, a board-certified plastic surgeon, directly

conducts everything from consultation to surgery,

and provides customized solutions tailored to your face

so you can expect highly satisfactory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to undergo revision rhinoplasty after the initial surgery?

It is recommended to proceed with revision rhinoplasty at least 6 months to 1 year after the initial surgery. This allows the damaged tissues to fully recover, which helps achieve satisfactory results without side effects.

Is a 3D-CT scan necessary for revision rhinoplasty?

Yes, it is essential. A 3D-CT scan precisely analyzes the causes of failure from previous surgeries and accurately identifies the individual's internal nasal structure, which helps lower the probability of side effects and allows for a successful, customized surgical plan.

What are the advantages of revision rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage?

The biggest advantage is that, as it is autologous tissue harvested from the patient's own body, the likelihood of side effects such as inflammation, foreign body reactions, or contracture is relatively low. It is safely used in rhinoplasty after being harvested through a small incision in the side.

In what cases is autologous costal cartilage used?

It is primarily used when there is insufficient autologous cartilage, such as ear cartilage or septal cartilage, due to repeated revision surgeries. It is also very effectively utilized for patients with small and short noses, or those whose noses have shortened due to contracture.

Who conducts the consultation and surgery?

Dr. Yu Young-moon, a board-certified plastic surgeon, personally handles all processes from consultation to surgery. Based on extensive anatomical knowledge and experience, he provides customized solutions that match each individual's unique aesthetic, thereby increasing satisfaction.
