What is the difference between repair and primary rhinoplasty?
Nasal skin and its integrity in the first operation is one of the differences between a healthy nose and a operated nose. These two surgeries have other important differences that we will examine the difference between the restorative operation and primary rhinoplasty.
Sick mood
When a person is about to undergo rhinoplasty for the first time. He has high hopes that surgery will solve his nasal problems and defects. However, there is always concern about the shape of the nose after surgery. But the stress in this patient is clearly less. A person who is undergoing surgery for the second time is facing problems such as low self-esteem, fear of not getting results from the second operation, anxiety due to arguments and arguments with his doctor, and concerns caused by criticism from others.. A good reconstructive rhinosurgeon fully knows the patient's mood and reassures him with his advice and counseling..
Complexity of operation
Making changes and cuts on a nose that has once experienced a surgeon's razor is much harder and more sensitive than the first operation.. In reconstructive rhinoplasty, the surgeon must replace the damaged structure of the nose with minimal damage. And prevent the scar tissue from intensifying in the nose. On the other hand, in addition to beauty, it should also improve a person's sense of smell in some cases and prevent nasal congestion and postoperative adhesions..
The duration of surgery
Primary rhinoplasty is shorter than secondary surgery due to its simplicity. Initial action between 1 An hour and a half 2 The clock is secondary operation due to the need for more precision and its complexity 3 It takes hours.
Convalescence
Longer operation times and more manipulations by the doctor during surgery usually take longer to heal the nasal tissue. Recovery period of bone nasal repair between 6 until the 12 It is the moon and fleshy noses are usually 2 They need years to finalize the result.
The role of nasal skin in secondary operation
When the person undergoes surgery for the first time, no damage is done to the structure of his nose. And because of this, surgery is easy to perform and incisions are made without worry. But after the first operation, the incisions cause the wound to form and, as a result, new tissue to form.. In the second surgery, the specialist must make incisions so that the soft tissue is not damaged and the nose is not exposed to new wounds and deep damage..
In addition, the elasticity of the skin and the soft tissue beneath it also affects the outcome of secondary surgery. When the skin is highly elastic, it tolerates changes in nasal tissue better.
