Long Nose

"Redo", a new nose before I left unsatisfied is a challenge. To assist potential patients in this process, I included three factors that you should know before considering revision rhinoplasty.

1.) How long before your nose surgery? And what region of the nose is concerned?

Complete recovery from surgery of the nose before it can take up to one full year. This is particularly true to the tip. This region is the most aesthetically sensitive and the last to heal completely. Anxious healing patients seeking to address some Postopératoire hopes to have another surgery could cause more problems.

For patients concerned the shape or position of its tip, which usually recommend waiting a full year before considering a revision of the nose.

The bridge of the nose is less depending on the seriousness of the tip and tends to "solve" faster. This region can be evaluated before the end for the comments.

2.) You May need additional grafts or implants to achieve Review you are looking for.

When a patient whose surgery was elsewhere before coming into the nasal revision surgery, one of the first things to consider is how your nasal anatomy is preserved. In the past, prior nasal surgery frequently altered nasal cartilage underlying weakening of the nose and eventually distort the shape of the nose. This potentially affected the true function of the nose (which is the breath). When this occurs, the nasal framework must be rebuilt. To do this, I recommend using cartilage grafts in the region of the tip.

Ideally, the source of the graft would be inside your nose (nasal septum), but often before nasal surgery have used all available in the nose cartilage. Alternative sources of raw cartilage graft for revision surgeries can ear, its coast, or storage / gifts chest.

3.) How long the revision rhinoplasty take to heal?

In general, revision rhinoplasty procedures take longer to heal. Factors that contribute to how long it takes to heal are: the number of grafts used during surgery and the amount of work done. In general, nose redo rhinoplasty takes about a year to heal.
