After undergoing a primary nostril job, it is necessary to revise a previous one. Sometimes, patients aren't happy with the initial results and desire to make more changes to their nose. A common reason to have a revision is a difficulty breathing. This might be due to an injury or small obstruction suffered during the primary surgery. The results of a revision will depend on the patient's health and cosmetic preferences. Below are some factors to consider before scheduling a revision of a previous nose job.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a common term for a plastic surgery procedure that alters and reconstructs the nose. Although there are many types, many people refer simply to it 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.
Nasal hump excision
To remove the nasal hump, and to create a straighter nose, it is called nasal hump excision. The hump comprises the cartilage above the grey scalloped line and the bone below it. The Jie Pou Dao cuts the cartilage portion to form the hump. The osteotome is used by the surgeon to remove the nasal hump. Bone-scraping rasps are used to sculpt the bone flap and the cartilage below.
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 of nose job is often used in large deformities such a cleft lips or cleft palate. This procedure is ideal for patients who smoke, or have other medical conditions that can prevent the donor site 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. A surgeon with a high profile reputation will charge more for the procedure that a surgeon without one. To avoid this, you should research the credentials of a surgeon and read patient reviews. While cost for rhinoplasty depends on the surgeon’s experience level and credentials, there are still other important factors to consider.
Recovery time following Rhinoplasty
The extent of work needed, the extent of the procedure and the patient’s health all affect the recovery time. A person can typically expect to experience some localised pain and swelling for two to six days after surgery. After that, swelling should disappear and patients are able to return to work the next day. Although the pain from rhinoplasty is usually short-term, in some cases, it can last as long as a whole year.
