What is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision Rhinoplasty is a procedure dedicated specially for reparation and improvement of the results from the initial nose surgery performed. The cases include saddle nose deformity, polly beak deformity, or a pinched nasal tip. Moreover, the procedure can also be performed to solve functional issues such as a nasal blockage or trouble breathing experienced after the nose job has been done. Depending on the condition, some cases may require rib cartilage for the correction.
How It Works
Reparation or correction will be performed according to your nose condition. It is important to wait for a year after your first nose surgery before proceeding with a revision rhinoplasty for the nose to fully heal and scar tissues to soften.
Attempting a corrective procedure too soon not only risks the complications for recovery but also could result in another unsatisfactory surgery as the nose has yet to reach its final condition.
Treatments Available
The options depend on your nose condition as follows:
· Mild revision rhinoplasty
· Moderate revision rhinoplasty
· Severe revision rhinoplasty
· Revision rhinoplasty with rib cartilage
Procedure for Revision Rhinoplasty
1. Consultation and examination of the nose condition
2. The procedure depends on the problems individually
3. Distorted nose shape may require cartilage or graft enhancement
4. Breathing problems can be fixed by placing cartilage grafts or modifying the bone structure to make a larger canal space for breathing
