A revision of an existing nose job may be necessary after a primary nose job. 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 results of a revision will depend on the patient's health and cosmetic preferences. Consider these factors before scheduling a revision on a previously done nose job.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can be described as a cosmetic surgery procedure that alters or reconstructs the nose. There are many types of rhinoplasty. However, most people refer to it simply as a nose job. The revision rhinoplasty is the most common type. Rhinoplasty is an excellent choice if you have problems breathing or are unhappy with the appearance of your nose.
Excision of the nasal hump
Nasal hump extraction is used to remove nasal hump and make straight nose. 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. To remove the nasal bulk, the surgeon uses an Ostotome. Bone-scraping rasps are used to sculpt the bone flap and the cartilage below.
Paramedian forehead flap
Paramedian forehead flaps are a type interpolated flap that is used in facial reconstruction to correct large deformities. This type of nose job is often used in large deformities such a cleft lips or cleft palate. This method is suitable for patients who smoke or have conditions that make it difficult for the donor area to heal. This procedure will leave scarring at donor site but is less invasive that other types.
Cost of Rhinoplasty
Even though rhinoplasty may be affordable, it is still very expensive if you choose to have it done by a highly-respected surgeon. A high-profile surgeon will charge more for the procedure than a plastic surgeon who has no reputation at all. To avoid this, you should research the credentials of a surgeon and read patient reviews. Although the surgeon's experience and qualifications will determine the cost of rhinoplasty, there are other factors to consider.
Recovery time following Rhinoplasty
The extent of the surgery, patient's condition, and recovery time are all factors that affect the length of recovery. A person can expect to feel some discomfort and swelling for up to two to six consecutive days after the surgery. The swelling should subside after this time, and patients can return to work on the third day. It can take anywhere from one to three weeks for the pain following rhinoplasty, although in some cases it may last up to a year.
