Real Story 8 (3rd Rhinoplasty & Revision Blepharoplasty)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 30s

# Medical History

- Eyes: Previous non-incisional blepharoplasty (+)

- Nose: Two previous rhinoplasties using silicone and ear cartilage several years ago

# Current Condition

- Eyes: Dissatisfied due to asymmetry and the lines being too thin.

- Nose: The nasal tip has gradually dropped, making the nose look long and increasingly deviated.

* Consultation

# Eyes

- Since there was almost no skin sagging and the eyelid-opening strength was good, we planned for the ‘Natural Adhesion’ method.

# Nose

- Despite having a revision after an initial surgery with silicone and ear cartilage, she was stressed because the drooping nasal tip made her look older than her actual age. She also felt the tip was gradually deviating.

- We planned to create a shorter nose compared to the current state, with an ideal nasolabial angle that doesn’t look too upturned.

- Since her nasal cartilage was not small and a glamorous line would suit her well, we decided to be a bit more ambitious with the height!

* Plan

# Natural Adhesion (Revision Blepharoplasty)

# Correction of Long Nose & Deviated Nose (3rd Rhinoplasty)

* Post-operative Progress

1. Eyes

# Double eyelids with clear lines starting from the inner corner have been achieved.

# Even in revision cases, if the skin thickness, sagging, and eyelid-lifting strength are appropriate, it can be resolved relatively easily with just the natural adhesion method.

2. Nose

# She had many concerns as this was her 3rd surgery.

# Fortunately, the glamorous and high bridge suits her very well! She was very satisfied as the lifted nasal tip also provided a more youthful appearance.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is natural adhesion possible for revision eye surgery?

Yes, it is possible. Even for revision surgery, if the skin thickness, degree of sagging, and eye-opening strength are appropriate, it can be solved relatively easily with only the natural adhesion method. In the case study, a clear double eyelid line was completed with natural adhesion.

How many times is revision nose surgery possible?

The patient in the case study underwent their third revision nose surgery. They decided on revision surgery after being unsatisfied with the results of two previous surgeries and achieved successful results. The important thing is to accurately diagnose the current condition and consult sufficiently with a specialist.

Can a long nose or a crooked nose be corrected?

Yes, correction is possible. The patient in the case study was stressed by the problem of a long, drooping nasal tip and a gradually crooked nose, and through revision surgery, successfully corrected the long and crooked nose, achieving a younger-looking effect.

Can my face look younger after revision nose surgery?

Yes, it is possible. In the case study, the patient was satisfied because the nasal tip was enhanced and an ideal nasolabial angle was created, resulting in a younger-looking effect. Improving the nose shape greatly influences the overall impression.

What should I be aware of during revision surgery?

Caution is required as complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. Also, results may vary depending on the individual, so it is important to consult sufficiently with a plastic surgeon.

In what cases is natural adhesion surgery suitable?

It is suitable for cases where there is almost no skin sagging and good eye-opening strength. In the case study, natural adhesion was planned because there was little skin sagging and good eye-opening strength, and a clear double eyelid line could be completed.
