There are many people who are born with nasal defects while other are dissatisfied with how their nose looks. Some work hard on narrowing their nostrils while some make efforts to reshaping their nose so that it goes well with their features.

Sometimes people hurt their noses in an accident which may lead to serious problems like sleep apnea, bleeding and facial pain while others go for nose job just to improve their looks. It depends on the person which type of a nose job he wants and consults an expert accordingly. There are many types of cosmetic surgeries that are done to reshape noses and treat the defects. One of them is Revision Rhinoplasty.

What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

It is surgical procedure to correct the shape and defects of the nose. Sometimes the first nose surgery could go wrong or not give you the desired results so you have to go back to a surgeon for a Revision Rhinoplasty.

A revision surgery can be costly and scary. Only an experienced surgeon with proper knowledge of the nasal passages and procedures should be contacted for a revision or else you can end up with a weird looking nose and not undone it.

How it is done?

One should at least wait an entire year to go back for revision rhinoplasty so that the scar tissues are completely healed up, the swelling goes down and the surgeon gets a clear view of what do be done for the next procedure.

The Revision Rhinoplasty can be a closed one where the incision is made inside the nose or an open when where the cut is made under the nose. The closed one is a better option because it decreases the risk of infections and the surgeon can easily uncover the areas that need to be corrected which is a little difficult with the open revision rhinoplasty.

This procedure is almost similar to that of a general Rhinoplasty where the patient is sedated, the surgeon makes his where through the nostrils up the nose, removes the nasal mucosa with an incision, corrects the defect and replaces the thin membrane back on the cartilage.

It comes with risks

Revision rhinoplasty has its own risks including swelling, loss of the sense of smell for some time, bursting of blood vessels around the nose causing nasal bleeding, scarring and many more.

Still if you want to go for a surgery than consult a good surgeon who can minimize these risks and give you better results than before.
