GRACEONYOUNG PLASTIC SURGERY

What is revision rhinoplasty?

The cause of the revision rhinoplasty has various reasons like, if the result is not satisfied, if the implant movement is severe,
if the nose shape has changed, if there is infection, and etc.
Revision surgery is high technique requiring surgery as the problem has to be solved and the shape has to be settled from the beginning.
It is very important to get the surgery from the plastic surgeon.

Cases of revision rhinoplasty

Time for the revision rhinoplasty

Normal revision surgeries can be held after 6months from the surgery when the inside tissue becomes smooth.
But simply making the bridge of the nose high (augmentation rhinoplasty), it is possible to get the surgery after 3months from the surgery.
If there is infection, normally the implant will be removed and checking on the infection to totally calm down will be done before the revision surgery.

StC Revision rhinoplasty

To get the ideal shape of the nose, inside supporting structure and the outside surface which is covering is important.
For this reason, nose surgery method is held changing the shape of the inside &
outside of the shape. Especially, revision rhinoplasty will go through 3 mandatory things.
First of all, loosening the previous surgery area and changing the shape which is supporting the inside to the shape you want.
After this, it should be covered with enough outside skin.
But if the nose became hard and solid due to the construct, these 3 processes can’t be held.
So you will have to wait for more than 6months for the nose to become smooth.
The stc treatment is using its own stc to regenerate capability of the tissue to improve the surgery result and also forward the revision rhinoplasty time.

StC’s effect

Proofed regenerating
cell tissue effect

The stc is already proofed from various areas in cell treatment field and it is used to chronic scar treatment.
The nose is also the same. From the research which was comparing about the nose which became solid;
saline solution injection, fat transplantation, stc treatment; transplanting stc will improve the skin change
and improve the soft tissue structure.
The nose which became solid; saline solution injection, fat transplantation, stc treatment

The period of fast
revision surgery

Through the tissue recycling effect, fat stc will quickly make the solid tissue to smooth tissue.
So there is no need to wait 6months with your changed nose.
Through the 1 month stc treatment, you can have revision surgery quickly and possible.

Result of the improved and
maintained revision surgery

Even the inside supporting structure is improved and the pretty nose shape is made,
if the skin doesn’t have enough space, it will push the inside area and there will be nose shape change with relapse.
The recycled skin tissue used through the stc will give healthy elasticity, will not change the inside tissue,
and improve the nose shape.
