After undergoing a primary nose job, a revision of a previous nose job is necessary. Many patients don't like the results of their initial nose job and wish to make further changes. A common reason to have a revision is a difficulty breathing. This might be due to an injury or small obstruction suffered during the primary surgery. Revision results will vary depending on the patient's cosmetic preferences and health. Consider these factors before scheduling a revision on a previously done nose job.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a term that describes a type of plastic surgery that involves the alteration or reconstruction of the nose. Although there are many different types of rhinoplasty, the majority of people refer it to as a nose job. Revision rhinoplasty can be performed on adults and children, but it is most commonly performed on adults. Rhinoplasty can be a good option for those who have difficulty with their nose breathing or are unhappy about their appearance.
Excision of the nasal hump
To remove the nasal hump, and to create a straighter nose, it is called nasal hump excision. The hump is made up of cartilage and bone that extends above the scalloped gray line. The Jie Pou Dao is used by the surgeon to remove the cartilage from the hump. The osteotome is used by the surgeon to remove the nasal hump. Bone-scraping rasps are used to sculpt the bone flap and the cartilage below.
Paramedian forehead flap
Paramedian forehead is a type if interpolated flap used for facial reconstruction to correct large flaws in the face. This type of nose job is often used to correct large deformities such as the cleft lip and cleft palate. This is a good option for patients who smoke and have other conditions that hinder the healing of the donor area. This surgery will leave a scar on the donor site but is less painful than other types.
Cost of rhinoplasty
While the price of rhinoplasty can be very affordable, it can still be very costly if you opt for a high-profile surgeon. A surgeon with a high profile reputation will charge more for the procedure that a surgeon without one. You can avoid this by researching the credentials of the surgeon and reading reviews from patients. Although the surgeon's experience and qualifications will determine the cost of rhinoplasty, there are other factors to consider.
Recovery time for rhinoplasty
Recovery time for rhinoplasty is dependent on how extensive the work was done and the patient's overall health. Two to six days can be expected to feel some swelling and pain after rhinoplasty. Patients can return to work in three days. After the swelling has subsided, patients may be able to resume their normal activities. The pain after rhinoplasty can last anywhere from one to three months, but in some cases, it can be as long as a year.
