Frequently Asked Questions
Is revision rhinoplasty more difficult than primary surgery?
Yes, revision is generally more difficult than a first surgery, because it must account for deformation of existing tissue, scar tissue, and the capsule around an implant. Dr. Daehee Han is a specialist who has handled many revisions over 13 years.
When is the right time for revision rhinoplasty?
Generally it is recommended to wait at least 6 months to 1 year after the first surgery. Performing the revision after the tissue has sufficiently stabilized tends to lead to better results.
Can a contracted nose be corrected?
Yes, a contracted nose is a case the clinic handles frequently. Using autologous rib cartilage, the contracted tissue is released and a natural nasal shape is reconstructed.
Is revision rhinoplasty more expensive than the first surgery?
Revision is generally more difficult, so it can cost more than a first surgery. Exact cost is explained after 3D CT analysis and a review of previous surgical records.
I had surgery at another clinic - can I have my revision at EDITION Plastic Surgery?
Yes. The current internal condition of the nose is assessed through previous surgical records and 3D CT analysis, then an optimal revision plan is established.
Could revision rhinoplasty fail again?
Precise diagnosis by a revision-experienced surgeon and appropriate material selection are key. The cause of the earlier problem is identified with 3D CT analysis, and reconstruction uses autologous tissue.
