Revision Nose Surgery Specialists
The nose is a prominent facial feature that when altered correctly can dramatically improve the appearance of the whole face. However, the importance of the nose and the complexity of the surgery make it one of the most delicate cosmetic procedures. When not properly performed, it can lead to unnatural results, forcing patients to undergo revision rhinoplasty.
However, it is important to know that revision rhinoplasty requires a specific set of skills by an experienced plastic surgeon specializing in the cosmetic and reconstructive plastic procedures needed to sculpt facial features, including the nose. Top revision rhinoplasty surgeons have addressed many aesthetic concerns for patients unsatisfied with the outcome of their previous nose surgery, including the shape, size and width of the nose, as well as the appearance of the tip of the nose. In fact, some patients visit rhinoplasty revision specialists due to restricted breathing as a result of a mistake or injury made during prior nose surgery.
Although, a number of patients many have been told that their nose is beyond repair, this is often not the case in the hands of a skilled nose surgery revision specialist. In fact, plastic surgeons who specialize in correcting previous cosmetic procedures are trained to understand the underlying rhinoplasty complications that led to the patient's current condition.
Revision rhinoplasty procedure is very similar to primary rhinoplasty, and the technique (open / closed) is determined by the surgeon depending on each patient's unique aesthetic needs. Revision nose surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia and patients may need anywhere from five to seven days to recuperate. During the recovery, patients may experience swelling and/or bruising, with any discomfort managed by narcotics prescribed by the surgeon. Although, most patients return to work and resume their daily routines a few days following surgery, gradual healing is an important aspect of rhinoplasty that can last anywhere from eight to 12 months.
In addition to revision nose procedures, Houston plastic surgeons specialize in a number of additional aesthetically pleasing and reconstructive treatments. The most popular plastic surgery procedures among revision rhinoplasty patients include: chin augmentation, facelift, ear surgery, eyelid surgery and in some cases, revision breast augmentation.
