Revision Rhinoplasty in Seoul | Gangnam Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is revision rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, is a corrective nose surgery performed after a previous rhinoplasty. It is often more complex than the initial procedure due to scar tissue, structural changes, or compromised cartilage.

Common reasons for revision include:

• Dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome
• Asymmetry or irregularities in the bridge or tip
• Breathing difficulties post-surgery
• Collapse or weakness of nasal structure
• Over-resection or unnatural shape

Dr. Kwon evaluates each case individually to design a surgical plan that addresses both cosmetic concerns and structural issues.

Am I a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty?

You may be a candidate for revision nose surgery if:

• You had a previous rhinoplasty at least 6–12 months ago
• You’re unhappy with the results or function of your nose
• You have visible deformities, collapse, or poor symmetry
• You're experiencing nasal obstruction or breathing problems
• You seek a natural, balanced appearance
• A detailed consultation is necessary to determine feasibility, especially if grafting or reconstruction is required.

Revision rhinoplasty procedure

Revision rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically involves an open approach to allow better visibility and control during correction.

Key steps may include:

• Removing or reshaping previous grafts or implants
• Reconstructing the nasal framework using cartilage (ear, septum, or rib)
• Realigning the nasal tip or bridge for better symmetry
• Improving internal airflow with septoplasty or spreader grafts
• Correcting scar tissue, collapse, or other complications

The procedure takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on complexity, and may involve advanced grafting techniques for long-lasting support and aesthetics.

What materials are used?

To rebuild or support the nose, Dr. Kwon may use:

• Autologous cartilage (from the patient’s septum, ear, or rib)
• Fascia or dermis to soften contours or prevent irregularities
• In some cases, previously placed silicone or Gore-Tex may be removed or replaced

All materials are chosen based on safety, biocompatibility, and durability.

Recovery and aftercare

• Swelling and bruising are expected for 1–2 weeks
• Splint and sutures are removed around day 7
• Most patients return to work or daily life in 10–14 days
• Final shape continues to refine over 6–12 months
• Follow-up appointments ensure healing is progressing as expected

Because revision rhinoplasty involves scar tissue and delicate reconstruction, healing can be slower than primary surgery—but results are longer-lasting and more stable when done correctly.

Benefits of revision rhinoplasty

• Restores facial balance and nasal harmony
• Corrects deformities from previous surgery
• Improves breathing and nasal function
• Boosts self-confidence and satisfaction
• Provides natural, undetectable enhancement

Yes—when performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon. Dr. Kwon at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic is known for his careful, personalized approach to complex rhinoplasty cases. Using modern techniques and high-quality grafting materials, he ensures patient safety and long-term satisfaction.
