Among the medical choices people make to improve their appearance, nose surgery draws as much interest as eye surgery. The nose is the center of the face and the only feature with a three-dimensional structure, making it a very important organ that determines first impressions for Asians, whose facial skeleton is flatter than that of Westerners. As a result, men as well as women are increasingly undergoing nose surgery. However, as the surgery has become more common, cases of revision due to dissatisfaction with the result or side effects have also increased. Problems arise from choices made in expectation of a dramatic result alone, without a thorough understanding of one's current condition. Common cases include the implant inserted to raise the bridge becoming deformed or settling incorrectly so the nose is crooked, excessive scar tissue forming, and the shape of the nose being damaged by inflammation.

This is also why revision is more demanding. For that reason, it is necessary to choose a treatment approach that considers both safety and satisfaction." He added, "Recently, nose revision using fresh stem cells is also performed. This is because they help with wound healing and regeneration and with the formation of blood vessels in the affected area, and help relieve contracture and capsular deformity caused by inflammation. This approach is based on making tissue that has already hardened over time after a failed first surgery flexible again, putting it in a more favorable state for revision. It can also help minimize the possibility of immune-reaction side effects that may appear at the site of the first surgery." However, he advised, "Relying on the treatment method alone should also be approached with care. As explained above, it is also important to choose a medical institution that can check the patient's condition thoroughly and build a systematic treatment plan. Because the nose is a very complex organ, it is important that the surgery be performed by a specialist with extensive anatomical knowledge and experience. It is also necessary to choose a place equipped with specialized medical staff and systems able to harvest fat safely and extract fresh stem cells hygienically."
