After undergoing a primary procedure, a revision to an earlier nose job is required. Sometimes patients are unhappy with their initial results and want to make adjustments to their nose. Another reason that patients may need to have their nose reshaped is a problem with breathing. This can happen if there was an accident or small obstruction in the primary surgery. The patient's overall health and cosmetic preferences will determine the outcome of a revision. Here are some things to remember before you schedule a revision for a previous nose job.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can be described as a cosmetic surgery procedure that alters or reconstructs the nose. Although there are many different types of rhinoplasty, the majority of people refer it to as a nose job. Revision rhinoplasty is the most popular type of rhinoplasty. It can be done on children as well as adults. Rhinoplasty is a great choice for anyone who has difficulty breathing or is unhappy with their appearance.
Nasal hump excision
The nasal hump is removed to create a straight nose. The hump is composed of the cartilage, bone and above the scalloped-grey line. The surgeon cuts the cartilage portion of the hump with a Jie Pou Dao. To remove the nasal bulk, the surgeon uses an Ostotome. To sculpt the bone flap, and the cartilage below, bone-scraping rasps can be used.
Paramedian forehead flap
The paramedian forehead flap is a type of interpolated flap used in facial reconstruction to correct large defects in the face. This type of nose job is often used in large deformities such a cleft lips or cleft palate. Patients who smoke or have other conditions that prevent the donor area from healing can choose this method. Although there will be a scarring at the donor area, this procedure is much less invasive than other types.
Cost of rhinoplasty
Though rhinoplasty costs can be very affordable it can still be very expensive if the surgeon is well-known. A well-respected surgeon will charge more than a less experienced surgeon. This is why it is important to do your research on the surgeon's credentials as well as read reviews from patients. Although the surgeon's experience and qualifications will determine the cost of rhinoplasty, there are other factors to 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. You can expect some pain and swelling to be felt for up to six days following surgery. The swelling should subside after this time, and patients can return to work on the third day. Although the pain from rhinoplasty is usually short-term, in some cases, it can last as long as a whole year.
