Revision Rhinoplasty
There are many reasons why people around the world desire to have a nose job. This operation, known as rhinoplasty, is one of the most cited forms of plastic surgery in the world. There are normally many happy individuals that undergo the procedure once and reveal the new nose they always dreamed of. However, a small percentage of individuals will find that the artful surgery of rhinoplasty will have either been performed incompetently or at the very least the surgeon did not quite get the exact shape of what the patient desired.
In instances such as this revision rhinoplasty is necessary to perfect the nose or at least undo the damage done by gross incompetence or shoddy black market surgeons. Plastic surgery of any type should only be performed by a competent licensed professional with an appropriate operating room. Back door deals might sound cheaper but when the bandages come off and the result is worse than the original nose the patient had that money was simply thrown away. The patient will then have to spend more money to correct the issue that has occurred.
Revision rhinoplasty is inherently no different than the original operation. Once the nose has completely healed a competent surgeon will be able to use either the closed or open technique to repair the damage done. The closed technique involves working from within the nostrils in a less invasive manner. The open nose surgery technique requires that the columnella, the partition between the nostrils, be cut and the skin of the nose will need to be lifted. The surgeon will use this extra space to effect repairs. This method is generally used for drastic reconstruction or correction of a deviant septum. The septum is the divider in the nasal cavity that separates the airways into two distinct sections.
The same complications and side effects are likely to occur as they did in the original operation. Bruising, swelling, and numbness are all likely occurrences. As with any surgery the possibility of infection even in the cleanest operating room is still possible. If the surgery is performed by a properly licensed physician it is entirely unlikely, however.
