Revision Nose Aesthetics​

Reasons for Revision Rhinoplasty

The successful outcome of all today’s aesthetic interventions is actually related to how good the surgeon is. At the same time, this situation, which is measured according to the satisfaction level of the patients, is also valid for those who have hereditary problems in the nose area, as well as those who do not like the shape of the nose after the first operation. Although patients are sufficiently conscious before the first procedure, they may need a second operation. In particular, the reasons for performing revision rhinoplasty will be listed as follows;

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Incompatibility of the nose area and the face area
  • If the patient thinks that he cannot achieve the desired nose shape
  • Thinking that shape problems are not fixed
  • Visual problems in the nose

It should be noted that revision rhinoplasty is different from the first operation. Patients may be worried about the second plastic surgery. On the other hand, it can also consider in detail whether there will be new problems after the revision. Since cartilage is taken from different parts of the body in the revision process, it is much more important to manage this process successfully. The cartilages are taken from the ear or ribs.

If there is a striking appearance in the patient’s nose area, revision rhinoplasty should definitely be performed. In addition, patients who have breathing difficulties in the nose area, as well as those who have a low nose tip, should have a second rhinoplasty. However, patients should be aware of the need for cartilage removal from the ear or ribs for this procedure and should accept these procedures.

The purpose of the revision process is to remove the lost supports at the tip of the nose. After the first operation on the back of the nose, sometimes the cartilages can be deformed. Again, the cartilages in the area called the nasal valve behind the tip of the nose will be supported by this procedure. In the first aesthetic, if the tip of the nose is lifted too much, the tip of the nose is lowered in the revision process. At the last stage, the shape problems that can be seen in the nose wings are also eliminated.

When is Revision Nose Aesthetics Performed?

After the first rhinoplasty, the new nose shape of the patients is followed. Patients who reach their new nose shape in an average of 6-12 months then convey their requests to the surgeon. In other words, if the deformity of the nasal tip of the patients continues and the new vision is complained of, re-examinations are performed and a revision rhinoplasty decision is made. As a result, revision nose surgery can be performed after at least 6 or 12 months after the first surgery.

How is the tissue need met in the revision process?

After the first rhinoplasty, the deformity of the nose is corrected by revision rhinoplasty . However, new tissues are needed in this process. Since intranasal cartilages are used in the first operation, cartilages are taken from the auricle or ribs in the second operation and revision procedure is started.

At this stage, the plastic surgeon begins to take cartilage from the auricle. However, if the number of cartilage in the area is low, cartilage will be removed from the rib. Patients may sometimes request that cartilage not be removed from the relevant areas. In that case, synthetic cartilages will be used. However, synthetic cartilages may not be suitable for every body structure. As a result, this process should be managed according to the recommendations of the plastic surgeon. In addition, since there is a risk of infection in synthetic cartilages, it should be noted that the cartilage to be taken from the patient’s body is healthier.

What Procedures Are Performed in Revision Nose Aesthetics?

There are many processes in the revision application. Of course, the nasal structure of the patient is examined and the back of the nose is checked in detail. Again, after the patient’s demands are learned, a revision rhinoplasty decision is made.

Nasal Ridge: After the first operation, if the arched structure of the patient’s nose has not been adequately treated, correction of the nasal dorsum can be made. In addition, bone and cartilage tissues in the inner part of the nose are filed during revision. If the back of the nose is taken too much, tissues are taken from the body and transferred to the area.

Respiratory Problems: With the first rhinoplasty, nasal functions may be adversely affected, but this is not the case in every patient. If the individual’s respiratory problem persists, revision rhinoplasty should be performed. While resolving respiratory problems, deformities in the nose are also eliminated.

Low – Upturned Nose Demand: Removal of less tissue from the nose area after the first operation of the individual may cause aesthetic concerns. In such cases, the low nose demand is met. If the patient wants an upturned nose, this procedure is completed with revision. But raising the nose is more difficult than lowering it, and tissue will be taken from a different part of the body for this procedure.

When to Do After Revision Nose Aesthetics?

After the revision application, patients should pay attention to some processes. First of all, after revision rhinoplasty , patients need to switch to regular sleep and nutrition processes. These conditions accelerate the healing process. In addition, the patient should be more gentle while brushing teeth. It is also very important to support the head with pillows on the first night after the operation.

After the procedure, the facial muscles should not be over-contracted. As a result, the use of mimics should be terminated. It is essential that patients do not blow their nose while cleaning the nose area, and they should clean their nose according to the doctor’s recommendations for 15 days. Patients who need to be protected from extreme heat after revision will overcome the inflammation problem. Inflammation negatively affects the healing process, especially since it damages the nasal sutures.

Patients should postpone activities such as sea, sauna and pool until the date recommended by the doctor. Because the chlorine in sea and pool water seriously damages the nasal tissues. In the post-operative period, sun rays should be avoided and a protective hat should be used. If going out is mandatory, sunscreen creams recommended by the surgeon will need to be preferred.

Glasses should not be used for up to 6 weeks after revision rhinoplasty . Glasses cause tissue loss as they will press on the nasal bone. This will of course cause the nose shape to deteriorate. As a result, the use of lenses makes much more sense.

As can be seen, the process after revision surgery is actually more important than the operation. Since painkillers, sunscreen creams or other recommendations will be recommended by the surgeon, the patient should not use any different individually.

Patients will reach the desired nose shape after at least 6 months and at most 1 year.

There is a risk of infection after all plastic surgeries. However, the specialist surgeon will prescribe antibiotics to prevent infections.

This process will be managed by the doctor, not the patients. As the bandage on the nose will not come off immediately, it will be changed constantly.

Sports can be done 3-4 weeks after the revision rhinoplasty, provided that it is at a light pace.

Certainly. After revision rhinoplasty, rest is required for 1 or 2 days.

Revision rhinoplasty can be performed on any patient over the age of 18.
