The nose located in the center of the face is a cosmetic part because it determines the overall face image. A low and blunt nose gives a dull impression, while a high nose gives off a sophisticated image. For this reason, many people often decide to have nose surgery to improve their image. The problem is that the nose is a passage through which air passes, and it plays the role of breathing and smell, so if you touch it incorrectly, it can cause breathing problems.

In fact, quite a few people are experiencing side effects such as nasal congestion after nose surgery. If the first septum surgery was not completely corrected, or if the nasal end plastic surgery was excessively performed, resulting in nasal entrance and non-valve stenosis, the reason for the recurrence of rhinitis is the reason.
In response, many specialists advise that the nose has a complex structure, so it should be carried out by considering the functional parts together rather than simply thinking about the external shape and operating. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately identify the cause of nasal congestion before re-nose surgery and then improve it.
Accordingly, surgery is performed by improving the prosthesis used in the previous surgery and then correcting internal tissue and structure. After that, if the nose is customized by adjusting the height, angle, and line of the nose according to the proportion of the individual's face according to thorough analysis, it can be a plastic surgery that captures both the function and shape of the nose.
This re-nose surgery is more difficult than the first surgery because it requires correcting the mistakes in the surgery that has been performed once. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful when choosing a hospital. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, you should carefully examine the experience and know-how of medical staff. At this time, if plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists treat based on a cooperative system, they can catch both technical skills and expertise in surgery, including nasal diseases, so more satisfactory results can be expected.
In addition, equipment such as 3D CT or nasal endoscopy should be equipped to determine the cause of nasal congestion. The artificial and crooked nose shape can be made naturally by replacing the prosthesis with a thin one in the correct location or using autologous dermis or donated biomaterials, but nasal congestion symptoms must be accurately determined by CT scans and nose endoscopy.
In addition, it is recommended to examine whether the entire process, from counseling to surgery, treatment, and progress, is carried out directly by the same medical staff without a shadow doctor, or whether an anesthesiologist resides.
Lee Seung-ho, director of Urban Plastic Surgery, said, "If the symptoms of nasal congestion are severe, you can wash your nose (scalp cleaning) to relieve the inconvenience until surgery." "If it is difficult to discharge the injected cleaning solution properly at this time, it can be helpful to use humidifiers and masks while making it a habit to drink warm water," he explained.
