Causes & Solutions for Contracted Noses by Weverse Plastic Surgery

Located in the center of the face, the nose is one of the features that greatly influences first impressions,

and it is the second most frequently operated area after the eyes.

Because of this, the frequency of revision surgeries is also on the rise.

While some undergo revision surgery due to dissatisfaction with the shape or height,

there is an increasing number of cases where revision is needed due to capsular contracture—a condition where the nasal tip turns upward and shortens due to surgical failure, causing a deformity in the external appearance of the nose.

Today, along with photos of a contracted nose case at Weverse Plastic Surgery, we will explain the causes of contracture and how to resolve it.

What causes a contracted nose?

When an implant, such as silicone used in rhinoplasty, enters our body, it becomes surrounded by a tissue called a capsule.

Normally, the implant remains stable within this capsule.

However, if micro-inflammation occurs repeatedly, the capsule becomes hard and shortens, pulling the overlying skin.

When the cartilage strut used in the surgery cannot withstand this pulling force, the nose may become upturned, pinched, show visible cartilage, or even deviate.

What are the symptoms of a contracted nose?

There are symptoms that can lead you to suspect a contracted nose is developing.

You may notice a foul odor from inside the nose, or a micro-inflammatory response may occur, causing a sensation of a foreign body.

Additionally, symptoms such as the nose swelling or turning red can occur when you are fatigued, such as after heavy drinking or working late.

These symptoms may repeatedly improve when you take medication or your condition gets better.

If acne or sebum-like breakouts repeatedly occur in the same area, you might also suspect the progression of a contracted nose.

If you experience these symptoms, or

if you observe the aforementioned shape changes—such as the nose turning upward, looking pinched, cartilage becoming visible, or the nose deviating—

compared to previous photos, it is advisable to suspect a contracted nose and seek a medical consultation.

What is the solution for a contracted nose?

It is crucial to thoroughly release the adhesions in the area causing the contracture and perform a wide dissection to allow the skin to stretch adequately.

Secondly, the supporting strut that acts as a pillar must be built more robustly than in a standard rhinoplasty.

★ For noses with severe contracture, the strut is built using autologous rib cartilage, which is the hardest cartilage in the body.

Furthermore, if the nose is elevated excessively, high pressure will build up on the nasal tip again, so the surgery must be performed within a safe limit without overdoing it.

In cases of such contracted noses, taking contracture prevention medication and receiving scar tissue injections post-surgery can also be helpful in preventing the contracture from recurring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main cause of contracture nose?

Repeated micro-inflammation around the implant is the main cause. Due to inflammation, the capsule surrounding the implant hardens and shortens, pulling the skin, and the existing cartilage support cannot withstand it, causing the nose to lift or deform.

Are there any early symptoms to know if contracture nose is progressing?

Yes, you can suspect it if you notice a smell from inside your nose or if it becomes swollen and red. If your nose swells or turns red when you're tired and then improves when you feel better, and this phenomenon repeats, or if you keep getting acne in the same area, it's advisable to seek medical attention.

How is contracture nose revision surgery performed?

It is performed by widely dissecting the adhered area to stretch the skin and build a strong support. The support needs to be made more robust than in the original surgery, and the nasal tip is corrected within a safe range that does not strain the skin.

What cartilage is used for severe contracture nose revision surgery?

Autologous costal cartilage, which is the strongest cartilage in our body, is mainly used. When contracture is severe, the skin's pulling force is strong, so it is common to harvest autologous costal cartilage to create a strong support that can withstand this force.

Can contracture nose revision surgery prevent recurrence of contracture?

Yes, appropriate medication and injection treatments after surgery can help prevent it. Combining post-operative care such as taking contracture prevention medication or receiving scar tissue injections after revision surgery is effective in preventing the recurrence of contracture.
