Revision rhinoplasty (secondary rhinoplasty) involves making corrections to previous unsatisfactory cosmetic rhinoplasty. It is a specialty in itself and much more difficult than repairing a first time nose because it is working with scar as well as an emotionally injured patient.
Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty
The exact procedure followed when performing revision rhinoplasty will vary from one patient to the next as the issues that need to be corrected will vary. If dents were created in the nose, for example, the surgeon may need to use. Breathing problems developed due to the original rhinoplasty would also be addressed. The procedure mostly corrects the shape or tip of the nose.
Immediately after revision rhinoplasty surgery, a small cast will be placed on the outside of the nose. It will be removed in about one week. While some bruising and swelling may occur, this is generally milder than after primary rhinoplasty procedures. Bruising should fade within about ten days, while the swelling will fade within several months. Patients also generally experience less discomfort than after primary rhinoplasty procedures. Cold compresses can be applied to the nose to help minimize bruising and discomfort. Patients will need to avoid over exertion, risking injury and sun exposure for a period of time after surgery.
Many people are not happy with the results of their first nose surgery? Does your new nose throw your face out of balance? Did the surgeon of your first surgery go too far — or maybe not far enough? Or maybe you just want to refine the tip of your nose or are having some breathing problems since your primary nose job.
If this sounds familiar to you, you may be a candidate for Dr. Ellenbogen. You will not be the first rhinoplasty Dr. Ellenbogen has had to revise or correct.
For many of Dr. Ellenbogen’s patients the second surgery had to do with a specific cosmetic issue such as a awkward looking tip or a functional issue that makes it difficult to breath. The problems may not be the fault of the first or possibly second surgeon. Not every aspect of healing is under the surgeon’s control, and some anatomical variations can pose particular surgical problems.
Deciding on revisionary nose surgery is a decision not to be taken lightly and should be discussed in length with Dr Ellenbogen at your complimentary consultation. The revision procedure can be much more complicated than the first rhinoplasty and requires a surgeon like Dr. Ellenbogen’s vast experience, sophisticated understanding of nasal structure and extensive surgical training.
