Nose Surgery on a Model
While everybody wants a pleasant looking nose that fits the face and flatters the profile, there are some things that bring a patient to a rhinoplasty surgeon for the first time and a few other things that may bring a nose job patient back to the surgeon.
The Top 5 things that can go wrong are:
- Breathing
After all, the job of the nose is to pass air to the lungs. Often, people who have never been to a rhinoplasty surgeon go because something inside the nose hinders the flow of air.
After nasal surgery is often no different. If the nose has been under or over operated – that is, too much or too little has been taken out — or if problems still exist inside the nose, a revision rhinoplasty may be required.
- Marks that show on the outside of a nose job
Many nasal surgeons often see a healed nose after rhinoplasty, yet the patient comes in with grooves, depressions, dips and tiny moguls that show on the outside.( An excellent way to easily correct those marks is with Silikon1000 nasal injections.)
- An overdone nose
Cosmetic plastic surgeons also see patients returning because a nose has been overdone and looks pinched. It happens when a first surgeon takes too much tissue from the nose. But revision rhinoplasty can make things right by using donor cartilage from patients’ ears or ribs to augment the nose.
- An underdone nose
For every patient returning to a surgeon complaining about a pinched nose, another patient somewhere is returning because not enough surgery was done. If the primary surgeon did not remove sufficient excess nose tissue, the tip of the nose will most likely point down. That means the revision rhinoplasty surgeon must redo the tip.
- A bent nose
Normally resulting from a sports injury, an accident or a fluke of nature, a nose that leans sideways is common. A good assumption: the patient with a bent nose will also have breathing problems. The usual bugbear in such cases is usually the septum – that wafer thin strip of cartilage that separates the two nostrils. A revision surgeon does that work, too.
The good news? Virtually every nose can be repaired!
Are you getting the concept that rhinoplasty is very, very exacting? With little-to-no margin for error one way or the other? Good!
