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.

Three Reasons Why Rhinoplasty Can Benefit You

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that involves altering a person's most prominent facial feature - the nose. Not surprisingly, it ranks among one of the top five requested surgical procedures in the United States. There are three key reasons why you can benefit from this type of facial plastic surgery:

Eliminate breathing problems. The structure of a person's nose and nasal passages often creates a breathing problem, ranging anywhere from mild discomfort to severe difficulty in breathing air. Individuals who suffer from a deviated septum that negatively impacts their ability to breathe easily are among the group that can most benefit from undergoing rhinoplasty to improve their ability to breathe.

Improved sleep. Breathing problems often are associated with an inability to get a good night's sleep. Sleep apnea causes the airways to become blocked or stuffed up, causing restless sleep patterns. Rhinoplasty can successfully redesign your nasal passages, opening them up completely so that sleep apnea and other sleep issues are no longer a health issue.

Improved self-confidence. An individual who consistently feels self-conscious about the size and shape of their nose usually suffers from low self-esteem and a lack of confidence.
