My nose became upturned due to contracture. Do I need revision surgery right away?

In the case of a contracted nose, it does not improve over time, so you can proceed with the surgery whenever your schedule allows. However, if there is severe inflammation right now or if the silicone implant is protruding through the skin, there are cases where surgery to remove the silicone must be performed as soon as possible. In such cases, you must first remove the silicone and wait at least 6 months for the tissues to recover to some extent before undergoing revision surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have a contracture that caused an upturned nose. Should I have revision surgery right away?

Yes, you can proceed with the surgery according to your schedule. Contracted nose syndrome does not naturally improve over time, so unless it's a special emergency, you can plan your nose revision surgery when your schedule allows.

How is a severely inflamed contracted nose treated?

You should first undergo surgery to remove the silicone as soon as possible. In urgent cases where severe inflammation has occurred in the nose or the silicone implant has protruded out of the skin, the priority should be to remove the implant without delay.

When can I have nose revision surgery after silicone removal?

You should have surgery at least 6 months after the implant removal. This is because when silicone is removed first, the damaged tissues inside the nose need a period to stabilize and fully recover.

Can contracture symptoms improve on their own if left untreated?

No, it does not improve naturally. Contracture that occurs after rhinoplasty is not a condition that improves on its own over time, so it is advisable to consult with a specialist and receive revision surgery or treatment at an appropriate time.
