This surgery is referred to as revision rhinoplasty, and correction rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty. Revision rhinoplasty is a surgery performed that corrects arising from a prior rhinoplasty treatment of a cosmetic or functional type.
Revision rhinoplasty is by far one of the most complex to conduct since it involves a rhinoplasty specialist with expertise and ability to repair the nose’s cartilage and bony structure. A variety of problems arising from previous surgery, involving nasal blockages and other shape problems that may impede ventilation, induce depression, bumps, broken or squished ends, and/or unnecessary scarring, may be fixed or enhanced by revision rhinoplasty.
In certain situations, to repair missing parts, cartilage grafts or implants might be required. It is more complicated to do revision rhinoplasty than primer rhinoplasty since the usual nose structure has been altered, there are broken cartilage fragments and within the nose there might be scar tissue development. Moreover, certain patients are mentally impaired because they are fearful that further surgery may contribute to additional complications or even worse disfigurements.
When a plastic facial surgeon decides that after a failed primary rhinoplasty operation, a revision process is required, they can look at the nose from two points of view: shape and feature. Shape is the nose’s aesthetic appearance and purpose is how the nose functions for you (you can conveniently breathe into it or you are more vulnerable to sinus infections now, etc.)
Your surgeon may tell you throughout appointments that you are going to need a cartilage transplant. This implies that too much tissue has been extracted from the nose during the main procedure and must now be restored. Although there are replacements that can be used, both patients and physicians believe that the greatest outcomes can be obtained by utilizing living cartilage.
Right now, to preserve the form and function of your nose, facial plastic surgeons must use your own cartilage obtained from your ear or ribs.
Revision rhinoplasty can be performed to achieve these purposes:
- Reshape or resizing a prior rhinoplasty that rendered the nose disfigured and deformed.
- Too much cartilage and bone removing from the first surgery.
- Alter a main surgery that does or doesn’t now fit on the patient.
- Breathing problems that caused by primary rhinoplasty.
- Fixing primary nose surgery that is botched.
People who report detrimental emotional or physical symptoms after getting a nose job might be perfect candidates for rhinoplasty revision surgery.
