Correct and Refine Unsatisfactory Nose Surgery Results

Revision rhinoplasty improves or repairs the nose after a previous nose surgery did not meet expectations or caused breathing or structural issues. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified rhinoplasty specialist focuses on restoring natural shape, function, and confidence—using advanced grafting and structural support techniques for stable, beautiful results.

Why Patients Choose Revision Rhinoplasty

• Persistent asymmetry or irregular contour
• Bridge or tip looks unnatural or collapsed
• Upturned, short, or “scooped” nose
• Pinched nostrils or alar retraction
• Breathing difficulty or nasal valve collapse
• Implant complications or extrusion risk
• Visible graft edges, polly-beak deformity, or scar tissue buildup

Many patients seek a more natural, elegant, and structurally supported outcome.

Common Revision Concerns We Treat

• Short or contracted nose
• Over-reduction or over-rotation
• Saddle or scooped nose deformity
• Implant removal & conversion to cartilage
• Bridge or tip asymmetry
• Bulky or undefined tip after filler/implant
• Internal scarring and breathing blockage

We correct both aesthetic and functional concerns.

Personalized Surgical Evaluation

We assess:

• Skin quality & scarring
• Graft availability (septal/ear/rib cartilage)
• Airway function and valve support
• Bridge and tip structural integrity
• Nostril shape & alar rim position
• Facial profile balance

High-resolution photography & digital simulation help align expectations.

Techniques Used in Revision Rhinoplasty

• Rib cartilage graft reconstruction for major support needs
• Ear or septal cartilage grafts for subtle refinement
• Spreader & batten grafts for valve opening and stability
• Tip reconstruction (suture + graft support)
• Alar rim grafting for retraction/notching repair
• Scar tissue removal & soft-tissue reshaping
• Implant removal or replacement when necessary

Goal: strong internal support + soft, natural external contour.

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Time: ~3–5 hours depending on complexity
• Approach: Usually open for precision; closed possible for minor revisions
• Aftercare: Splint ~5–7 days; dissolvable internal supports when needed
• Most patients go home the same day

Recovery & Aftercare

• Initial swelling: 2 weeks
• Return to light work: ~7–10 days
• Avoid exercise: ~3–4 weeks
• Tip swelling refinement: 6–12 months (longer in revision cases)
• Scar management & swelling control guidance included

Healing is slower than primary rhinoplasty, but results are worth the patience.

Results You Can Expect

• More natural, symmetrical nose
• Improved tip shape and bridge contour
• Better breathing and airflow
• Restored confidence and facial balance
• Stable structure to prevent collapse or future deformity

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Previous rhinoplasty with unresolved issues
• At least 6–12 months since last surgery (depending on healing)
