Revision RhinoplastyRevision Rhinoplasty
At NANA Plastic Surgery, we help patients who are experiencing difficulties after rhinoplasty achieve a more beautiful and harmonious nose through thorough consultations and detailed analysis by our experienced medical specialists.
NANA's view on the timing of revision rhinoplasty
In general, revision rhinoplasty is recommended after at least 6 months to 1 year, allowing the tissues to sufficiently stabilize and heal before undergoing another procedure. However, the appropriate timing may vary depending on each individual’s condition and should be determined through a thorough consultation and evaluation.
If the previous procedure involved only augmentation of the nasal bridge, revision surgery may be considered as early as 3 months after the initial surgery.
However, if there is inflammation at the surgical site, a displaced or crooked implant, or severe redness and thinning of the skin over the nasal bridge that may lead to skin breakdown, prompt revision surgery may be necessary to address the issue and prevent further complications.
Functional treatment too, through precise examination
We consider each person's unique facial balance to complete a line that suits you. Rather than uniform beauty, we find the most ideal angle of the bridge and tip that respects your individuality. Considering the angle of the bridge and tip, we complete a natural, beautiful nasal bridge from both the side and the front.

Q & A answered by NANA Plastic Surgery
Is the same implant used as in the first rhinoplasty?
If there were no particular problems with the implant from the previous rhinoplasty, it does not necessarily have to be replaced during revision. However, in most cases it is replaced with a new one for reasons other than dissatisfaction with the shape, such as visibility of the existing implant or inflammation.
Will a revised nose also become upturned over time?
When revising a nose whose tip has become upturned after rhinoplasty, simply lowering it with the same method as before will cause the tip to rise again over time. However, if the tip is lowered using autologous cartilage and completely fixed to the alar cartilage of the tip, the upturning over time can be prevented and the nasal tip can be improved smoothly.

NANA's guide to
precautions after nose surgery
01
Washing, showering & makeup
You may wash your face and wear makeup from the day after the stitches on the columella (nasal column) are removed.Until the splint and tape are removed, wipe areas other than the surgical site with a damp towel; washing your face and wearing makeup is possible from the day after the columella stitches are removed. When washing, do not rub the nose hard or apply pressure. It is best to wait one month before wearing glasses, and please avoid saunas and steam rooms for one month.
02
Recovery
Slight bleeding and nasal discharge may occur for 2–3 days after surgery.Please do not blow your nose hard for one month after surgery; after one month you may blow your nose gently.
If ear cartilage was used, pain or changes in sensation may last up to 6 months.If ear cartilage was used during surgery, you may feel pain or changes in sensation when touching the area for up to 6 months. In general, pain and altered sensation improve over time, so there is no need to worry.
03
Swelling care
Facial swelling remains for about one month after surgery.It is normal for swelling of the nose to appear asymmetrical, as the two sides may swell or subside differently. Any visible asymmetry from swelling improves over time until the swelling has fully subsided.
Apply warm/cold compresses at the appropriate times after surgery.Cold compresses are recommended for the first 3 days after surgery; they help prevent bleeding and reduce swelling. From day 4 after surgery, warm compresses are recommended for effective management of swelling and bruising.
04
การดูแลแผลหลังผ่าตัด
Please visit the clinic for dressing changes and removal of the splint and stitches.If there is packing inside the nose or, when ear cartilage was used, a gauze dressing behind the ear, visit the treatment room 2–3 days after surgery to have the packing and gauze removed and the area disinfected. The nasal splint and stitches are removed at the treatment room 6–7 days after surgery.
Care for the area with the prescribed ointment.Twice a day, morning and evening, clean the inside of the nose and the incision line with a cotton swab moistened with saline solution, then apply a thin layer of the prescribed ointment.
05
การดื่มแอลกอฮอล์และการสูบบุหรี่
Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for 1 month after surgery.Alcohol and smoking adversely affect bleeding, wound healing, and infection, so we recommend avoiding them for 1 month after surgery.
06
Sleeping position
Please check the recommended sleeping positions for 3 months after surgery.For the first week after surgery, avoid bending your neck while sleeping and keep your upper body elevated so your head is higher than your heart, which helps swelling subside faster. Also, do not sleep on your side or on your stomach; sleep facing the ceiling.
