After undergoing a primary procedure, a revision to an earlier nose job is required. Often, patients are not satisfied with the initial results and want to make additional changes to their nose. A revision may also be necessary if the patient has a breathing problem. This could have been caused by an accident or small obstruction that occurred during primary surgery. The outcome of a revised procedure will depend on the patient’s medical condition and cosmetic preferences. Consider these factors before scheduling a revision on a previously done nose job.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a common term for a plastic surgery procedure that alters and 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. If you have trouble breathing through your nose, or if you are unhappy with your appearance, rhinoplasty is an excellent option.
Excision of the nasal hump
Nasal hump extraction is used to remove nasal hump and make straight nose. The hump consists of the cartilage and bone above the scalloped grey line. The surgeon cuts the cartilage portion of the hump with a Jie Pou Dao. To remove the nasal hump bulk, the surgeon uses an osteotome. The bone-scraping rasps below are used to create the bone flap.
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 option is available to patients who smoke or suffer from other conditions that may prevent the donor region from healing. The procedure leaves a small scar at the donor's site but it is less invasive than most other types of surgery.
Rhinoplasty cost
Rhinoplasty can be quite affordable but can be costly if performed by a prominent surgeon. The procedure will be more expensive if the surgeon is well-known than one who has a poor reputation. You can avoid this by researching the credentials of the surgeon and reading reviews from patients. While the cost of rhinoplasty surgery will depend on the surgeon's credentials and experience, there are several things to consider.
Recovery time following Rhinoplasty
Recovery time for rhinoplasty is dependent on how extensive the work was done and the patient's overall health. The average person will experience pain and swelling in the affected area for between two to six weeks after surgery. After that, swelling should disappear and patients are able to return to work the next day. The pain following rhinoplasty can last from one to three month, but in certain cases it can last upto a year.
