The shape of the nose reflects a person's strength and grace, significantly influencing overall facial aesthetics. Consequently, many individuals seek rhinoplasty to enhance their nasal profile. While the failure rate of hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty is low, it cannot be entirely ruled out. So, how is failed injectable rhinoplasty corrected? The corrective procedure for injectable rhinoplasty is fundamentally similar to traditional rhinoplasty, both performed under local anesthesia.The revision procedure involves making an incision inside one nostril, dissecting the nasal dorsum tissue, and then using instruments to remove the original injected foreign material.
In some cases, the foreign material may have spread slightly to distant areas. If no significant adverse reactions occur, extensive tissue dissection may not be necessary. However, the foreign material within the nose must be meticulously and thoroughly removed.
After removing the original filler, a new silicone implant can be inserted according to the patient's preference, yielding more satisfactory outcomes.
As a secondary procedure, revision surgery requires thorough reflection on the initial surgery's lessons, careful analysis of failure causes, and prudent implant selection to prevent recurrence and further trauma.
