Repeated rhinoplasty

Analysis of the patient’s original data plays an important role. It is important to understand why a second visit to the surgeon was required. The reason may lie in a person’s subjective dissatisfaction with the result of previous plastic surgery in the absence of technical errors, as well as objective violations of the operation technique, the rehabilitation period, which entailed unpleasant consequences.

• Based on the results of the study, the surgeon decides on the possible options for correction.
• An operation is performed to eliminate deformities, adjust the architecture of the nose, and restore normal breathing.
• The patient is monitored in a hospital.

An interval of at least 6 months should be maintained between primary and re-plasty of the nose. The patient’s age can be any.

Indications

1. Problems in nasal breathing resulting from a previous operation.
2. The aesthetic request of the patient.
3. Defects that appeared after the first operation or that could not be removed earlier.

Contraindications

1. Unsatisfactory test results, the presence of inflammatory processes, bacterial and viral infection.
2. Exacerbation of chronic conditions.
3. Pregnancy.
4. The interval after the last rhinoplasty is less than 6 months.
5. If the doctor has determined that a second operation is inappropriate or could harm the patient.

• The patient is being examined. Re-nose rhinoplasty is performed in an open or closed manner under general anesthesia. The doctor pre-applies the markings.
• The duration of correctional work can take 1-5 hours.
• The doctor has no right to make a mistake because each action is carried out scrupulously and with pinpoint accuracy.

Implants are used if necessary.

Revision rhinoplasty, like primary rhinoplasty, also implies a subsequent fixation of the nose with a plaster splint.

After revision surgery, there is a large blood loss, recovery processes are slower in comparison with the primary intervention.

The surgeon’s recommendations must be followed strictly:

• sleep only on the back with a high pillow;
• the gypsum is removed after 10 days;
• for at least a month, no stress on the cartilage - glasses, clothes worn over the head are prohibited;
• no physical activity;
• do not expose the nose to high or low temperatures, UV rays.

The final transformation will take up to 12 months since the operation is performed on previously injured tissues. Swelling and bruising will take longer. Our specialist will monitor the postoperative changes until the patient fully recovers.
