What is a nose repair operation?
Rhinoplasty is scientifically known as Revision Rhinoplasty. This operation is divided into two types:
- The first group includes cases in which a person suffers a defect in all or part of his nasal tissue as a result of an accident.. In this case, the nose needs to be repaired and reconstructed. The plastic surgeon repairs or reconstructs the nasal tissue, which requires numerous and complex surgeries..
- The second group of rhinoplasty, which is more common and more term means secondary operation or retouching of the nose.. In this type of operation, a person has undergone rhinoplasty once and is dissatisfied with the shape and function of his nose for various reasons and feels the need for reoperation.. It can be said that this operation is much more important than the initial operation and the surgical work is more difficult because the nasal tissue has undergone changes in the initial operation, which makes the work more difficult for the nasal repair surgeon..
Why is the nose operated on for the second time?
Initial rhinoplasty and choosing a good plastic surgeon is very important and therefore the operation has a great impact. Sometimes, due to the inexperience of the surgeon or in some cases, due to the patient's lack of caution in performing post-rhinoplasty care, problems arise that make the person undergo rhinoplasty for the second time. The most important problems that may arise as a result of improper surgery are::
Closing the airway through the nose
Sometimes, due to the inexperience or expertise of the doctor, the patient's nasal structure and breathing are damaged in the initial rhinoplasty. This can cause breathing problems such as wheezing while breathing or not noticing the smell of the surroundings.. Closure of the nasal passages (Postoperative nasal capping) And the sound of the nose while breathing causes the person to take a second action.
Abnormal appearance and excessive change
The most important purpose of rhinoplasty is the natural beauty of the person and the elimination of the apparent defects of the nose. Unfortunately, some doctors, because they are not aware of the science of modern aesthetics, choose models that a person realizes after a few years that the shape of the nose is very artificial.. Also, some nose models are not suitable for everyone. Imagine a gentleman with a masculine face, a doll nose! Or a woman with large face and fleshy nose has experienced fancy or semi-fancy nose surgery. Excessive changes and abnormalities in the nose cause the person to decide to have a nose job again.
Drooping tip of nose
Sometimes, because the doctor has not properly strengthened the cartilage of the nose, the tip of the nose sags after a while, giving the person an unsightly appearance.. For this reason, a nose repair operation is performed.
Remaining nasal hump after surgery
Some people find out after surgery that their nasal hump has not been removed in the initial operation. And their noses look ugly. Nasal repair helps to remove the remaining hump from the initial operation.
Asymmetry of the nostrils
Many people worry that their nostrils will be the same before their nose job. First of all, sometimes this is not possible, but a good nose surgeon can make the holes look as similar as possible.. Sometimes the asymmetry of the holes is so great that a person has to undergo reconstructive rhinoplasty..
Large nasal tip or tip after surgery
Sometimes a person tries to shrink the nose, but due to the skill of the doctor, the nose does not shrink enough, although it may have a beautiful shape.. Secondary rhinoplasty helps to solve this problem.
Excessive narrowing of the nasal septum
Excessive narrowing of the nasal septum, which is more common in bony noses, is not only one of the problems with the unusual shape of the nose, but also causes respiratory problems.. In reconstructive rhinoplasty, the surgeon fixes the problem by strengthening the cartilage.
Internal or external scarring
One of the biggest problems caused by improper nose surgery is internal or external scars or sores that cause bumps or dents on the nose and make the nose look ugly.. The rhinoplasty doctor solves this problem with the second surgery.
Deviated septum
Deviation of the nasal septum or crooked nose after surgery is one of the common problems that may be caused by surgery by a non-specialist doctor or lack of patient care. Sometimes a blow after a nose job causes the bone to tilt. For this reason, the person undergoes cosmetic surgery for the second time.
Long distance nostrils
Failure to observe the fit in the nose operation and lack of mastery of aesthetics by the surgeon causes the distances between the nostrils to increase and the person to feel uncomfortable with his nose.. Revision Rhinoplasty will help to solve this problem.
Nasal fibrosis
When surgery is performed, the skin is actually damaged. To repair this damage, a tissue called fibrosis forms . Fibrous tissue is a very important tissue for repairing damaged parts of the body. But in rhinoplasty, and fleshy nose surgery in general, if the nose becomes too small, the body forms too much fibrous tissue to heal the scar.. This can cause the fleshy nose to become fleshy after surgery or make the nose larger than before surgery.
Up and down the nasal fins after surgery
Another common postoperative problem is disproportionate and high and low nasal fins. This problem is due to lack of symmetry during surgery and lack of mastery of plastic surgery. In practice, nasal retouching can be solved.
Nose clip
Another reason that patients may go for nasal retouching is the depression of the cartilage on the side of the nose. Especially when breathing, which is called pinch or clamp.
