Yes — scar tissue removal, or scar tissue release, is a routine part of revision rhinoplasty in Korea, and it's often just as important as adding new cartilage support. Excess or contracted scar tissue can pull the nasal tip or bridge out of position, distort the skin envelope, or create visible irregularities, even when the underlying cartilage framework is otherwise sound.
Dr. Kim carefully identifies and releases problematic scar tissue during revision nose surgery, taking care not to compromise blood supply to the surrounding skin in the process — over-aggressive scar removal can itself create new problems, so this step requires the same precision as any other part of the revision.
Consultation Tip
If your nose feels unusually tight, stiff, or restricted in movement compared to before your first surgery, mention this specifically — it may indicate scar tissue contracture that's worth addressing in your revision plan.
