What is a Rhinoplasty Surgery Revision
A Rhinoplasty Surgery Revision is done most often for 1 of 2 reasons.
The first reason is an attempt to repair a nose job that has been
destroyed by too many Rhinplasty surgeries in the past or disappointment
in the results of just 1 or 2 nose alterations. A good case in point to
one who had extreme nose damage due to over construction was Michael
Jackson. His infamous nose will continue to be a reminder to the risks
involved with Rhinoplasty surgeries to an excess.
Rhinoplasty Revisions involves a process of replacing damaged, destroyed
or radically removed cartilage. This cartilage is harvested either from
deeper areas of the nose or from the edge of the ear (the concha). In
extreme cases doctors may graft cartilage and bone from the ribs as
well. Advancements in this procedure ensures the removal of this bone
and cartilage with minimal or no noticeable physical effects.
Unlike the simplified incisions made in the initial Rhinoplasty surgery
procedure, the revision requires a more radical access to the nose. This
is done by cutting across the “cullumella” (the external portion of the
nose between the 2 nostril holes). This combined with internal nasal
cuts provides a larger access point for greater skeletal access to begin
the reconstruction and grafting process.
Many who require a Rhinoplasty Surgery Revision are afraid to go through
the process once again, since the first attempts for nose modification
did more damage than good. For this reason it is vital to discuss with a
surgeon all aspects of related angst and discomfort. Many patients in
this situation may also be dealing with impaired nose functioning and
will need extensive repair that may take more than 1 visit.
A specialist in Rhinoplasty Surgery Revision must be retained. This is a
much more complicated procedure that needs specialized attention. A
realistic understanding must be built between the “victim” of a
Rhinoplasty surgery gone wrong and the surgeon. One way the surgeon uses
to come to a realistic and mutual agreement is by the surgeon
introducing computer images to visually explain what can and cannot be done.
