Revisions of previous nose jobs are necessary after a primary nasal job. 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. These are the factors you should consider before scheduling a revision to a previous nasal job.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, a name that refers to the plastic surgery procedure of altering and reconstructing the nose, is common. There are many types of rhinoplasty. However, most people refer to it simply as a nose job. While it can be performed on both children and adults, the most common type of the surgery is the revision rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty can be a good option for those who have difficulty with their nose breathing or are unhappy about their appearance.
Excision of nasal hump
To remove the nasal hump, and to create a straighter nose, it is called nasal hump excision. The hump is made up of cartilage and bone that extends above the scalloped gray line. The Jie Pou Dao is used to cut the cartilage part of the hump. The osteotome is used by the surgeon to remove the nasal hump. To sculpt the bone flap, and the cartilage below, bone-scraping rasps can be used.
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 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. This procedure will leave a scar at the donor site, but is less invasive than other types of surgery.
Cost of rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can be quite affordable but can be costly if performed by a prominent 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. 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 after Rhinoplasty
The extent of work needed, the extent of the procedure and the patient’s health all affect the recovery time. 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. Although the pain from rhinoplasty is usually short-term, in some cases, it can last as long as a whole year.
