A highly complex surgery to correct deformities, contractures, and side effects from previous rhinoplasty. The key is the use of autologous tissue.
Revision rhinoplasty is a surgery that corrects problems from a previous operation, such as implant contracture (hardening or shortening), displacement, inflammation, and tip deformity. It is a highly complex procedure that requires handling scar tissue and damaged structures, and it frequently involves the use of autologous tissues (such as rib cartilage).
Tissue dissection and reconstruction are challenging due to scars from previous surgery, weakened soft tissues, and damaged cartilage. Autologous tissues, such as rib cartilage, are frequently used for stable support.
If there is contracture or inflammation, it is safer to determine the timing after it has sufficiently subsided. Recovery and swelling may take longer than with the first surgery.
If there is inflammation or contracture, it is safer to determine the timing after it has sufficiently subsided (usually 6 months to 1 year).
Autologous rib cartilage is often used for stability when the supporting structure is weakened, but ear or nasal septal cartilage can also be used depending on the condition.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
It usually takes around 7 days to return to daily activities, and the recovery period involves 7 days with a splint and at least 4 weeks for swelling. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to consult with the hospital in advance regarding post-recovery care and precautions.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
