Repeated rhinoplasty is understood as plastic surgery, the main task of which is to correct all existing defects in the anatomical shape of the nose that appeared as a result of an unsuccessful primary intervention or as a result of a violation of the recommendations by the patient himself.
If the desired aesthetic result is not achieved;
It is also possible to carry out rhinoplasty in several stages;
To achieve a more optimal shape of the nose
It is important to understand that secondary rhinoplasty is a complex procedure – it is usually a more time-consuming and technically complex procedure than primary rhinoplasty. This is because the tissues of the nose are significantly deformed from previous plastic surgeries.
The success of the procedure depends on careful planning, the use of modern gentle techniques and the qualifications of the plastic surgeon.
- asymmetry of the tip of the nose
- thickening of tissues on the lateral surfaces of the nose
- thick tip of the nose
- difficulty breathing
- sagging columella
- nostril asymmetry
- irregularities of the back of the nose
- too low back of the nose after removing the hump
- remaining hump
In extreme cases, no surgeon will undertake a second rhinoplasty before the nose heals. First of all, this is due to the heavy load on the body, because the operations take place under complete anesthesia, in addition, the scar tissue undergoes changes, which must be completely healed. Only in this case it is possible to avoid more serious violations and hence the deterioration of the appearance of the nose.
Do not forget that the rehabilitation period after repeated plastic surgery can be delayed.
It is for this reason that it is recommended to choose a time when the business or educational rhythm will not be disturbed. For example, it is best to do the operation during vacation or vacation.
To correct the back of the nose and with very thin skin, own tissues are used. It can be lipofilling with your own fat, sometimes a small segment of the temporal fascia is taken away. With short noses or in cases where cartilage was unnecessarily removed during the previous rhinoplasty, then there is a need to use cartilage tissue - mainly ear cartilage.
Also, in the case of additional problems with nasal breathing, it is possible to simultaneously correct the shape of the nose and solve functional problems. As with primary rhinoplasty, your expectations and goals should be real and carefully discussed with your doctor.
It must be remembered that repeated nose surgery refers not to aesthetic operations, but to reconstructive plastic surgery.
Most secondary operations are carried out with open access and may require the collection of their own donor material to achieve the desired result. Although minor in volume corrective nose plastics can be performed with closed access.
Depending on the clinical case, the plastic surgeon may use the patient's own tissues. Most often, the cartilage material of the septum of the nose, ear cartilage (approximately since otoplasty is performed)and temporal fascia are used. After taking the donor material, patients do not have any visible defects at the site of the collection.
Most plastic surgeries require general anesthesia,but minimal corrections can be performed under local anesthesia. Also, local anesthesia can be used if there are contraindications in the patient to general anesthesia.
Most often, secondary rhinoplasty is combined with correction of nasal breathing. Although it is possible to combine with other aesthetic operations: breast augmentation or breast lift, liposuction, abdominoplasty, etc.
However, if necessary, the period of hospitalization can be extended.
As a rule, with secondary operations on the nose, recovery is slower and requires the additional use of physiotherapeutic and cosmetic treatment methods to achieve maximum results. Together with the cosmetologist of the clinic, we recommend a step-by-step rehabilitation plan.
