Records of revision rhinoplasty related to inflammation include both past experiences of inflammation and inflammatory findings observed at the time of surgery. While some cases focus on addressing contracture tissue and damaged cartilage in light of multiple prior surgeries and a history of inflammation, others directly document open skin areas as well as inflammation and granulation tissue around implants.
On this page, we distinguish between preoperative medical history and current surgical findings so that the current state is not judged solely by the word "inflammation." In particular, when the text links cartilage damage or contracture to past inflammation, consider whether it describes direct observations in that patient or the surgeon's clinical deduction. Checking what materials were removed and how the nose was reconstructed helps clarify the specific goals of the surgery.

A case of staged nasal reconstruction for a nose damaged by recurrent implant inflammation. After foreign body removal, a 2-year resting period, and stem cell therapy, the structure was rebuilt using donor rib cartilage and an implant was inserted.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A case where repeated surgeries and inflammation led to depressed nasal tip skin and implant show-through. The damaged skin was revised, dermal and cartilage grafts were placed, the septum was reinforced with autologous rib cartilage, and the implant was replaced.
Previous surgeries and procedures
Contracture and septal defect resulting from repeated surgeries were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage. For the retracted columella, retroauricular free skin flap grafting and perichondrium grafting were performed to restore its shape.
Previous surgeries and procedures
Cartilage penetrating the mucosa and a septal perforation after multiple surgeries were corrected through total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and repair of the perforation using ear perichondrium.
Previous surgeries and procedures
Persistent tip inflammation, deviation, and nasal symptoms following repeated surgeries were resolved by removing previous foreign materials and performing septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage alongside functional nasal surgery.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
In a patient presenting with mucosal perforation and contracture deformity caused by implant infection, inflamed tissue was debrided and irrigated, followed by staged septal reconstruction.
Preoperative condition
This is a case where a chronic inflammatory mass that developed after repeated surgeries and obstructed the nostril was precisely resected, restoring breathing function and stabilizing the nasal tip structure.
Preoperative condition
A case where autologous rib cartilage was used for full septal reconstruction alongside dermis grafting to address repeated surgical history, septal perforation, and thinned nasal tip skin.
Previous surgeries and procedures
To resolve chronic inflammation, an upturned nose, and redness of the nasal bridge that persisted after previous surgeries, artificial materials were removed, and structural reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed along with nasal valve surgery.
Previous surgeries and procedures · Preoperative condition
For a patient who experienced partial absorption of donor dermis on the nasal bridge and septal damage after multiple revision surgeries, the donor dermis was removed, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the skin was reinforced with retroauricular dermis.
Previous surgeries and procedures
For a patient whose nasal tip had shrunk, whose alae appeared pinched, and whose nasal bridge developed scarring due to donor rib cartilage resorption, we performed alar reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, septal extension, and cartilage and dermal graft reinforcement.
Previous surgeries and procedures
In a case with signs of nasal bridge skin necrosis and alar asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties, the nasal bridge and nostril shape were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage grafting, alar repositioning, and growth factor application.
Previous surgeries and procedures
A case where purulent foreign material injected into the nasal bridge during an illegal procedure was removed, contracted skin was released, and an upturned nasal tip and bridge line were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant.
Preoperative condition
A case of improving right alar pinching and depression caused by repeated surgeries and nasal tip inflammation using autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, nostril elongation, and a skin graft.
Previous surgeries and procedures
In an urgent condition where the silicone implant was on the verge of extruding just beneath the nasal tip skin, the implant was removed, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and dermal graft reinforcement was performed.
Previous surgeries and procedures
For nostril asymmetry and stenosis following alar and philtrum reduction, septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage, Z-plasty, and dermal grafting were performed.
Previous surgeries and procedures
The extruded Medpor and damaged tissue protruding into the nasal cavity were removed, and the septum along with the missing lower lateral cartilage was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to treat asymmetry and inflammation.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A case of an upturned nose with septal damage and contracture deformity from repeated surgeries, where the septum and lower lateral cartilages were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage along with columellar width correction.

Not necessarily. This list also includes records where revision surgery was planned based on a past history of inflammation. One case notes that, taking into account multiple prior surgeries and previous inflammation, the focus was placed on removing contracted scar tissue and reconstructing cartilage. Distinguishing between a past history of inflammation and findings observed during the current surgery prevents misunderstanding the patient's current condition.
One post documents an opening of approximately 0.5 mm in the nasal tip skin, alongside inflammation and granulation tissue spreading between the implant and grafted fat. It then describes damage to the septum and surrounding cartilage confirmed after removing that tissue. Following this sequence—skin findings, internal findings, removal, and reconstruction—reveals a clinical context very different from a simple implant exchange.
