Rhinoplasty

The term "secondary rhinoplasty" refers to a nose operation done after an initial rhinoplasty. Secondary rhinoplasty is regarded as corrective surgery to enhance the outcomes of an earlier cosmetic procedure. Revision rhinoplasty is another name for secondary rhinoplasty, though it can also refer to a third or fourth procedure on the nose.

Reshaping the nostrils or enhancing the nose's structure for aesthetic or practical reasons are some of the techniques used in secondary rhinoplasty.

Why You Should Consider Secondary Rhinoplasty?

The expertise of plastic surgeons is put to the test by patients who seek secondary or revision rhinoplasty. Anyone who has had rhinoplasty surgery before, once or more, and wants to improve the nose's appearance and frequently its functionality, is a candidate for revision rhinoplasty. These are among the most challenging cases that cosmetic plastic surgeons deal with for a number of reasons.

One reason for this is that patients frequently have regrets about previous procedures and may not realize that additional rhinoplasty may not be able to fully correct cosmetic deformities that were left uncorrected or that developed as a result of surgery. In revision cases, scar tissue from previous rhinoplasty is frequently a problem and can limit the outcome because it may recur even after successful revision rhinoplasty.

Even though a natural appearance is what you hope to achieve with rhinoplasty surgery, this outcome may not always be realized, and an unnatural appearance may instead develop. With a subsequent operation, this appearance may be altered.

Secondary Rhinoplasty Techniques

Depending on the circumstances necessitating the procedure, a secondary rhinoplasty operation may take on different forms. As a result, it can be performed as an open surgery or a closed surgery.

Closed

The most popular rhinoplasty technique is called closed rhinoplasty. Without any visible scars, the incisions are concealed inside the nose. The bone and cartilage are accessible for the required changes when the surgeon gently lifts the soft tissue upward.

Once the internal structure is visible for open or closed rhinoplasty, the technical procedures are similar. The fact that a closed rhinoplasty is a less invasive procedure has several benefits. These benefits include a decreased risk of nasal support reduction, a decreased risk of postoperative edema, a decreased risk of detectable scarring, a shorter operating time, and a quicker postoperative recovery.
