Yes, Dr. Kim Kook Hyun specializes in revision rhinoplasty that not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of the nose but also addresses functional issues, such as breathing difficulties caused by previous surgeries, trauma, or congenital nasal abnormalities. Revision rhinoplasty is a highly complex procedure, and Dr. Kim takes a holistic approach to ensure both structural integrity and cosmetic refinement.
For patients experiencing airway obstruction, Dr. Kim focuses on restoring proper nasal support and airflow by correcting issues such as a deviated septum (septoplasty), collapsed nasal valves, or excessive scar tissue formation from previous procedures. One of the key techniques he employs is spreader graft placement, where cartilage grafts (often harvested from the patient’s rib, ear, or septum) are used to reinforce the nasal valve area—a critical zone responsible for proper breathing.
Additionally, he carefully evaluates the internal nasal structures to determine if scar tissue or weakened cartilage is contributing to obstruction. In cases where the nose has become structurally compromised due to over-reduction of cartilage in previous surgeries (leading to a “pinched” appearance or nasal collapse), rib cartilage grafts or alar batten grafts may be used to strengthen the nose while improving its external shape.
For patients suffering from nasal asymmetry, drooping nasal tips, or excessive nostril narrowing, Dr. Kim employs advanced cartilage repositioning and dermal grafting techniques to achieve a more natural and balanced appearance while preserving nasal function. His approach ensures that revision rhinoplasty not only enhances facial harmony but also allows for unobstructed breathing and long-term structural support.
By blending reconstructive expertise with artistic precision, Dr. Kim Kook Hyun delivers comprehensive revision rhinoplasty results—restoring both function and aesthetics with a focus on long-term patient satisfaction. If you’re struggling with breathing issues after a previous rhinoplasty or seeking aesthetic refinements, consulting with Dr. Kim could be the key to achieving both a beautiful and well-functioning nose.
