A revision of an existing nose job may be necessary after a primary nose job. Patients often want to make changes to their noses after they aren't satisfied with the results. Another common reason for a revision is a breathing difficulty, which might have occurred due to an accident or small obstruction 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 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. Revision rhinoplasty can be performed on adults and children, but it is most commonly performed on adults. Rhinoplasty is a great choice for anyone who has difficulty breathing or is unhappy with their appearance.
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 Jie Pou Dao is used to cut the cartilage part of the hump. 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
Paramedian forehead flap is a type and interpolated flap which can be used in facial reconstructive surgery to correct large defects. This type of nose job is often used to correct large deformities such as the cleft lip and cleft palate. This is a good option for patients who smoke and have other conditions that hinder the healing of the donor area. The procedure leaves a small scar at the donor's site but it is less invasive than most other types of surgery.
Rhinoplasty costs
Even though rhinoplasty may be affordable, it is still very expensive if you choose to have it done by a highly-respected 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. The cost of rhinoplasty surgery depends on the surgeon's experience as well as their credentials. However, there are many other things you can consider.
Recovery time for rhinoplasty
The extent of the surgery, patient's condition, and recovery time are all factors that affect the length of recovery. The average person will experience pain and swelling in the affected area for between two to six weeks after surgery. Patients can return to work in three days. After the swelling has subsided, patients may be able to resume their normal activities. The pain following rhinoplasty can last from one to three month, but in certain cases it can last upto a year.
