After undergoing a primary nose job, a revision of a previous nose job is necessary. Often, patients are not satisfied with the initial results and want to make additional changes to their nose. Another common reason for a revision is a breathing difficulty, which might have occurred due to an accident or small obstruction during the primary surgery. Revision results will vary depending on the patient's cosmetic preferences and health. Below are some factors to consider before scheduling a revision of a previous nose job.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can be described as a cosmetic surgery procedure that alters or reconstructs the nose. Although there are many types, many people refer simply to it as a "nose job". Revision rhinoplasty is the most popular type of rhinoplasty. It can be done on children as well as 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 consists of the cartilage and bone above the scalloped grey line. With a Jie Pou Dao, the surgeon removes the cartilage portion from the hump. The osteotome is used by the surgeon to remove the nasal hump. To sculpt the bone flap, and the cartilage below, bone-scraping rasps can be used.
Paramedian forehead flap
The paramedian forehead fold is a type or interpolated flap for facial reconstruction. It can be used to correct large facial defects. This type nose job is often used for 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.
Rhinoplasty cost
Even though rhinoplasty may be affordable, it is still very expensive if you choose to have it done by a highly-respected surgeon. A highly-respected surgeon will likely charge more for the procedure, than someone with no reputation. To avoid this, you should research the credentials of a surgeon and read patient reviews. The cost of rhinoplasty surgery depends on the surgeon's experience as well as their credentials. However, there are many other things you can consider.
Recovery time following Rhinoplasty
The recovery time after rhinoplasty depends on the amount of work required, the extent of the procedure, and the patient's health. Two to six days can be expected to feel some swelling and pain after rhinoplasty. The swelling should diminish by the third day, and patients will be able return to work. While the pain after rhinoplasty may last for one to three months in most cases, some patients can feel it last up to a full year.
