When do I need a second nose job?
A common reason is the discrepancy between reality and expectations, when the patient no longer likes the nose. In addition to cosmetic imperfections, complications may arise due to improper surgery technique. And this already affects not only the psychological state of the patient, but also the physical one. Check if you have the following problems after nose correction:
shortness of breath;
depressions, indentations on the nose;
headaches;
asymmetry of the sides of the nose;
violation of the sense of smell;
scars, visible scars;
pain when touching the nose.
If you find similar signals, come for a consultation at Olympus Clinic with plastic surgeon Alexander Andreevich Malakhov. Alexander Andreevich will ask about your concerns, conduct a thorough examination of the nose, perform a CT scan or X-ray to assess the condition of the bone and cartilage structures of the nose. The doctor will also ask about your vision of beauty in order to make an individual correction plan. Remember that the final results after primary rhinoplasty can be evaluated only after six months.
How does secondary rhinoplasty work?
Preparation: The patient is put under general anesthesia. Next, the surgeon marks the areas that he will correct.
Access selection (during consultation with the surgeon):
Closed method: The surgeon makes incisions inside the nose. It is used to correct mild deformations.
Open method: Involves an incision on the columella, which allows the surgeon to tighten the skin over the cartilage of the nose for wider access.
Working with the structure of the nose: The surgeon corrects the cartilage and bone tissues of the nose to improve their shape and restore functionality. Fabrics can be removed, added, or moved. If there is a shortage of tissues, the surgeon transplants them from the patient's rib.
Additional corrections: If necessary, the surgeon can correct the septum (septoplasty).
Incision closure: With closed access, the surgeon sutures inside the nose with absorbable threads. When open, the surgeon sutures the incisions on the septum with threads that will need to be removed.
Care: The patient will need to rest a lot, avoid physical exertion. Alexander Malakhov, the surgeon, gives detailed instructions on healing the nose after plastic surgery, prescribes control procedures, and keeps in touch with the patient to give additional recommendations.
