What is Contracted Nose Revision Rhinoplasty?
At Baroko, we identify the cause and severity of contracture, then use stem cells and your own cartilage to support earlier revision and reduce recurrence risk.
Incorrect surgical technique
Inflammation from artificial implant
Foreign body reaction
Infection
Our Approach to Contracted Nose Revision
01
Autologous cartilage only —
preventing contracture recurrence
The fibrous capsule that has formed inside the nose is thoroughly removed, and surgery is performed using autologous cartilage and autologous cartilage particles only — no artificial implant.
02
Restoring Nasal Tip Length
The implant and tissues causing contracture are removed.
The dissected soft tissue is then stretched sufficiently, and autologous cartilage and cartilage particles alone are used to extend the shortened nose length and nasal tip.
03
Faster revision surgery with stem cells
Stem cells are used to accelerate recovery of damaged skin tissue, shortening the time until revision surgery can be performed.
Surgical Procedure
STEP 01
Identify the cause of contracture and establish a revision surgery plan.
STEP 02
Remove the artificial implant causing contracture and, where necessary, add stem-cell therapy.
STEP 03
After removing the contracted tissue, use only autologous cartilage to extend the overall nose length and nasal tip.
STEP 04
Using only autologous cartilage, prevent recurrence of contracture.

BAROKO NOSE CLINIC
Baroko One-Step Sterile Stem-Cell Regeneration Process —
performed safely within our clinic's sterile system
Baroko's stem-cell system is equipped with technology to extract stem cells from the body safely and rapidly. Because only uncontaminated, healthy cells are extracted under a fully sterile system, the engraftment rate is higher.
Baroko Cartilage-Particle Nose Revision
Cartilage-particle nose injection
After implant removal, if you want a natural nose shape, we recommend the cartilage-particle nose injection.
Cartilage-particle rhinoplasty
After implant removal, if you want a defined nasal profile, we recommend cartilage-particle rhinoplasty.

Contracted Nose Revision Rhinoplasty — FAQ
At Baroko, after identifying the cause and degree of contracture, the fibrous capsule that has formed inside the nose is removed. Surgery is performed using only autologous cartilage and autologous cartilage particles — no artificial implant. The dissected soft tissue is stretched sufficiently to extend the shortened nose length and nasal tip; using only autologous cartilage prevents recurrence of contracture.
The causes include incorrect surgical technique, inflammation from an artificial implant, foreign body reaction, and infection.
Surgery takes 4+ hours — longer than other nose revision procedures. It is performed under IV sedation and the patient is discharged the same day. Suture removal is 6–7 days later, with 3–4 clinic visits and approximately 1 week of recovery (individual results vary). Because the procedure requires greater care than a primary surgery, a thorough consultation and examination are essential beforehand.
