Revision Rhinoplasty
By accurately analyzing what went wrong with the first surgery,
revision rhinoplasty that restores a natural look
In revision rhinoplasty, the nasal skin, scar tissue, and cartilage inside the nose are different in every case. That is why it is important to accurately analyze the problems with the first surgery and their causes, rather than thinking only about the outward shape.
At Humanity, our revision rhinoplasty
carefully considers your current nasal structure, the remaining tissue, and even your facial proportions to plan revision rhinoplasty that suits you naturally.
Why Choose Humanity for Revision Rhinoplasty
Point 1
Detailed Analysis of the Cause, Based on Your Previous Surgery and Current Condition
We carefully check the condition of the implant and cartilage used in your previous surgery, structural changes in the nose, and scarring and adhesions to accurately identify the cause of the current problem.

Point 2
Revision Tailored to Your Remaining Tissue and Structure
Unlike a first surgery, the cartilage available for a revision and the condition of the skin and soft tissue differ from person to person. Considering the current condition of your nasal tissue and the support needed, we choose the right materials and technique, such as septal cartilage, ear cartilage, autologous rib cartilage, or an autologous dermal graft.

Revision Rhinoplasty Techniques by Concern
Shifted Implant or Crooked Nose
We check the position of the implant and the structure of the nose, then correct the position and line of the nasal bridge again.
Nasal Bridge Too High or Too Low
Considering your skin condition and facial proportions, we adjust the bridge to a natural height and line.
Visible Implant or Implant Edges
Depending on the condition of the skin and soft tissue, we consider replacing the implant or using your own tissue.
Drooping or Deformed Nasal Tip
We analyze the tip cartilage and support structures, then readjust the height, shape, and angle of the tip.
Short or Upturned Nose from Contracture
We assess scarring, adhesions, and the degree of contracture, then correct the length of the nose and the support structure of the tip again.
Dissatisfied with the Shape of Your Nose
We reanalyze your current nasal structure and facial proportions and redesign a nasal height and line that suit you.
Materials Used in Revision Rhinoplasty
The materials needed for a revision depend on the condition of your nose. Because previous surgery can limit the amount of usable tissue and cartilage, we choose the right material based on the extent of correction, the support needed, and the current condition of the tissue.
Septal Cartilage
Tip support and shape correction, depending on how much remains and its condition
Ear Cartilage
Refining tip shape and reinforcing soft tissue
Autologous Rib Cartilage
When strong support and structural reinforcement are needed
Autologous Dermal Graft
Reinforcing skin and soft tissue and softening implant edges
Implant
Correcting bridge height and line when needed
Recommended Timing for Revision
At least 6 months
Because swelling and scar tissue need time to settle after surgery, revision rhinoplasty is generally planned after at least 6 months of recovery from the previous surgery, once we have checked the current condition of your nose.
However, if there is a problem that needs immediate treatment, such as inflammation, infection, or implant exposure, the timing of the revision may differ.


Who Is a Good Candidate?
· People whose implant has shifted or whose nose looks crooked
· People whose nasal bridge is too high or too low for their face
· People whose implant outline or edges show through the skin
· People whose nasal tip droops or has become deformed
· People whose nose looks short or upturned because of contracture
· People who are not satisfied with the shape of their nose after previous rhinoplasty
Procedure Steps for Revision Rhinoplasty
Detailed Analysis of Your Previous Surgery and Nasal Condition
We comprehensively review the previous technique, the condition of the implant and cartilage, and the current state of your nasal tissue, including skin, scarring, and adhesions, to accurately identify why a revision is needed.
Custom Design Based on the Cause of the Problem
Considering your current nasal structure and facial proportions, we carefully plan the extent of correction, the technique, and the nasal profile you want.
Correction Tailored to Your Nasal Structure
We address the existing tissue only as much as needed and use materials suited to your nose to rebuild the structure of the nasal bridge and tip.
Follow-Up and Recovery Care
After surgery, we closely check swelling, the shape of your nose, left-right balance, and how the tissue is healing, guiding the healing process toward a natural, stable nasal profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How soon can I have revision rhinoplasty?
We generally plan it at least 6 months after the first surgery, once swelling and scar tissue have fully settled. However, the right timing may vary depending on the current condition of your nose and the reason for the revision.
Q. Does my existing implant have to be removed?
Not necessarily. We look at the position and condition of the existing implant and the extent of correction needed, then decide whether to remove or replace it.
Q. Does revision rhinoplasty always use rib cartilage?
Not every revision rhinoplasty requires rib cartilage. Depending on the remaining tissue and the support needed, we choose the right material, such as septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or autologous rib cartilage.
Q. Can you correct an implant that shows through thin skin?
After checking the skin, soft tissue, and the existing implant, we may consider replacing the implant or using your own tissue, such as an autologous dermal graft.

analyzing the cause of the first surgery's problems
Revision rhinoplasty is not simply about changing the outward shape again.
We carefully examine your current nasal structure and even your facial proportions, rethinking not only the outward shape but also the structure, so that your revision rhinoplasty suits you naturally.
