After a nose augmentation procedure, many patients experience complications such as crooked noses, implant exposure, redness, or deformation—causing facial imbalance and loss of confidence. That’s why one of the most common questions patients ask is: “How much does nose revision surgery cost?” and whether the price truly reflects the quality and safety of the procedure.
As a Specialist Level I in Plastic Surgery, I – Dr. Tran Kim Thach, Deputy Medical Director of Gangwhoo Aesthetic Hospital, will help you better understand the costs, timing, and safe process of nose revision surgery, so you can make an informed and confident decision about improving your nasal shape.
Why Do So Many People Ask “How Much Does Nose Revision Surgery Cost?”
Hello, I’m Dr. Tran Kim Thach, Deputy Medical Director of Gangwhoo Aesthetic Hospital.
Over my 15+ years in rhinoplasty and reconstructive surgery, I’ve met countless patients seeking correction for failed nose jobs performed elsewhere.
The most common causes include: undergoing surgery at unlicensed spas, choosing low-cost services, working with underqualified doctors, or using poor-quality implant materials.
When complications occur, patients’ biggest concerns are “How much will nose revision cost?” and “Can it be done safely with natural recovery?”
In this article, I will share detailed insights to help you feel more secure before making your decision.
Cases That Require Nose Revision – Directly Impacting the Cost
From a medical standpoint, most failed rhinoplasties fall into three main categories:
1. Inaccurate Surgical Technique
When the implant is placed in the wrong layer, not fixed properly, or scar tissue isn’t adequately treated, the risk of implant deviation, warping, or exposure is very high.
2. Poor-Quality Materials
Some non-reputable clinics use implants of unknown origin, leading to inflammation, redness, and tip contraction.
3. Improper Postoperative Care
Failing to follow the doctor’s instructions or touching the nose too soon after surgery can cause deformation once again.
Note: Each case of nasal damage requires a different correction method and cost — there is no single “flat rate” for every situation.
How Much Does Nose Revision Surgery Cost? Detailed Pricing Based on Severity
For mild cases, such as slight deviation, minor asymmetry, or subtle implant visibility, the surgeon only needs to adjust cartilage positioning and refine the nasal tip structure.
The cost for mild nose revision typically ranges from 20 to 30 million VND.
Patients in this group generally have healthy nasal tissue, so recovery is quicker and less invasive.
For moderate cases, often involving inferior implant materials or mild redness at the nasal tip, revision requires replacing the entire implant and reconstructing the nasal tip with autologous cartilage for long-term safety.
The average cost in these cases ranges from 40 to 60 million VND, depending on tissue adhesion and skin condition.
For severe cases, where the implant is exposed, the skin is extremely thin, or necrosis has occurred, full nasal reconstruction using rib cartilage is necessary.
This is a complex procedure that must be performed by an experienced specialist in a sterile hospital environment.
The cost for severe nose revision can range from 70 to 120 million VND, and in some cases, multiple surgeries may be required for complete recovery and aesthetics.
Factors Affecting the Cost of Nose Revision Surgery
When consulting patients, I always emphasize that the price depends on several key medical factors:
1. Degree of Nasal Damage
- Mild: Slight deviation or redness – minor adjustment only.
- Moderate: Scar tissue and partial implant exposure.
- Severe: Retraction, infection, or multiple failed surgeries – requires full reconstruction.
2. Type of Cartilage Used
- Premium synthetic implants (Silicone, Gore-Tex, Megaderm).
- Autologous cartilage (ear, septum, or rib) – safer but more expensive.
3. Surgical Technique
- 4K Endoscopic Nose Revision minimizes tissue trauma and shortens recovery.
- Reconstruction Rhinoplasty is more complex and requires an experienced reconstructive surgeon.
4. Surgeon’s Expertise
- A certified plastic surgeon with deep anatomical understanding ensures the best, most natural outcome.
5. Accredited Medical Facility
- Procedures done at a MOH-licensed aesthetic hospital cost more than at small spas but guarantee safety and proper sterilization.

When Is the Right Time to Undergo Nose Revision?
Timing plays a crucial role in determining the success and safety of revision surgery.
Not every failed nose can be corrected immediately after complications appear — tissues need time to stabilize.
1. Safe Timing for Revision
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6 months after the last procedure.
At this point, soft tissue, cartilage, and blood vessels have stabilized, minimizing surgical risks and ensuring faster healing.
If there is mild inflammation, it must be fully treated before reoperation.
For cases of infection or necrosis, the implant must be removed, pus drained, and the tissue allowed to heal for 6–12 months before reconstruction.
2. When Not to Undergo Revision
Avoid surgery if:
The nose is still swollen (within 3–4 months post-op).
There is active infection or inflammation.
You’re recovering from another illness or infection.
You’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
Performing surgery too early can increase the risk of fibrosis, tissue damage, and poor outcomes.
