When is Revision Rhinoplasty Recommended?

 Revision rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty, as it is sometimes known, is a corrective cosmetic procedure that primarily caters to patients who have already undergone rhinoplasty. Many patients who undergo botched rhinoplasty and want some corrections, whether for appearance, breathing improvement, or correction of a surgical anomaly or complication- they opt for it. Here are the reasons to undergo secondary rhinoplasty - by the best nose job doctor for Rhinoplasty Surgery in Dubai.

What is the Indication for Performing A Revision Rhinoplasty?

Patients are often looking for revision rhinoplasty for one or more of the following reasons:

Expectation Not Met- The best hands may not always meet the patient's end vision, resulting in an asymmetrical-looking nose, which is less natural and can be reduced excessively.

• Functional Problems: Structural compromise has caused breathing problems or nasal obstruction during or after surgery.

• Healing Difficulties: Sometimes healing may remain poor, scar tissue may form in excessive amounts, or tissue may simply collapse and alter final results, indicating the need for correction.

• Mistakes in Previous Ops:  Mistakes in surgery can also be corrected sometimes, as well, or aggressive reshaping might require some refinement or rebuilding.

Because the first surgery left behind altered anatomy and scarring, revision rhinoplasty becomes more complex. Cartilage grafts are usually required to strengthen the nose, for which the ribs, ears, or other body parts are harvested. The internal lining of the nasal cavity is scarred, and the cartilage infrastructure is severely weakened, further complicating the situation.

For this reason, many highly experienced cosmetic surgeons approach revision rhinoplasty with caution. Timing matters as well; patients who want to revise a prior rhinoplasty operation are advised to wait until that procedure has completely healed, usually 12 to 18 months later.

Why is Revision Rhinoplasty Harder than the Previous Rhinoplasty?

The presence of internal scarring, damage to cartilage, and loss of structural support makes secondary procedures technically difficult. The surgeon should reconstruct the nasal framework. The surgeon should manage expectations and work with little natural tissue. Even in expertise, such a perfect outcome cannot always be guaranteed, which again amplifies the need for choosing an experienced surgeon.
