Top Three Corrections Made by Revision Rhinoplasty


Rhinoplasty doesn't always go as planned. There are some common revision rhinoplasty techniques that are done in order to get the best look possible on the nose for the patient.
Many of the revisions are due to a new development found on the nose whether it was deformed or crooked. This could be any kind of injury that results in contact with the nose. When there is a new injury, patients usually want the nose corrected, even after there has been a previous rhinoplasty.
Another common reason to do a revision is that the desired look was not achieved during the original procedure. There could have been too much swelling for the doctor to get the desire result, or there could have been too much damage to the cartilage. If the doctor sees that a revision might be necessary, he will usually discuss it with the patient so that the patient knows that another surgery might be required.
There are some patients who want a perfect look after a rhinoplasty. This look might not be achieved with one surgery. It might take two or three trips to the operating room to get the tip of the nose just right for the patient or to remove any bumps on the sides of the nose. Only then will a plastic surgeon be able to ensure that the patient’s cosmetic goals met.
