Revision rhinoplasty; Correction means reconsideration. You may have heard of those who have undergone nose surgery and have had it recurrently, sometimes more often, for the second and third time.
We wonder why people undergo plastic nose surgery over and over again. Although we often think that these are done arbitrarily, believe me, most of them actually have justified reasons. The most important reason; Most of these people cannot achieve their ideal nose after the first surgery. They undergo surgery in order to have a beautiful nose, and unfortunately, they end up looking for their old nose… In this case, you have two options: either accept this situation; getting rid of this very difficult situation or problem; that is, having revision (correction) surgery…
Now let’s go back to the beginning; Let’s say you are the person I mentioned above.
I have a critical question for you here? Is the flaw in your nose immediately noticeable when you look in the mirror or when people see you? Or is everything reasonable, but small details bother you?
Believe me, minor flaws can occur even in naturally beautiful noses. If you are worried too much, we can fix it with simple touch-ups. The critical point here is whether we should retouch or not; I recommend that you make this decision after talking in detail with your doctor. You ask why? There is a rule in aesthetic nose surgeries: More beautiful is the enemy of beauty!!!
I wrote this article targeting those in the first group. Since you are still reading, it means that you fall into the first group, that is, after your previous surgery, unfortunately, you have a nose that will be disturbing at first glance…
A nose that is not beautiful from birth, no matter how damaged, is less disturbing than a nose that has been damaged by surgery. Because there is harmony even within the general disharmony of the congenitally defective nose. A nose that emerges after an unsuccessful surgery is never pleasing to the eye because it loses its proportions and looks ‘weird’, so to speak.
“Doctor, are there scientific criteria for this? What do you mean by weird nose? I can hear you ask!
Yes, of course, there are many scientific criteria: for example, if more sections are removed from the nasal bone than necessary, the distance between the two eyes will appear to be far from the front view; This gives the face a chubby expression. If too much of the nasal tip (tip) cartilage is removed, the nose will appear as if it were tightened with a clothespin; This gives the person a harsh and angry expression.
The ideal nose should be seen as a single piece when viewed from the front. The bone and cartilage parts are in harmony. If the bone-cartilage integrity is disrupted after an unsuccessful surgery, the nose may appear to be in two pieces from the front; This distorts the person’s facial expression.
Nostrils should be visible to some extent at front view. If the nose looks excessive after the surgery, that is, if the nose is excessively lifted, a condition called piggy nose occurs.
Apart from these, after an unsuccessful operation, serious asymmetries, collapse of the nose, drooping of the tip of the nose, and a nose shape that appears long or short on the face may occur.
All of the problems I mentioned above occur as a result of excessive removal of bone or cartilage. If the surgeon performing the surgery is inexperienced, he may remove insufficient tissue to avoid these problems. In this case, the targeted change in the nose is not achieved. For example, if it is a large nose, the size may still remain despite the surgery.
An important point to remember is that the nose is, first and foremost, a respiratory organ. Therefore, when your nose starts to get blocked after your plastic nose surgery, you can ask yourself the following question: Why did such a problem occur?
There are two main reasons for this: First, although there were already problems in your nose that prevented you from breathing before the surgery, these have not been fully resolved. The second is; Although there was no problem before the surgery, the respiratory tract was damaged while shaping the nose; Thus, obstruction arose.
After a successful rhinoplasty, nasal congestion is normal for a few months. This condition is due to swelling and crusts inside the nose. What I mean is nasal congestion that does not clear up even after 6 months after the surgery. If 4-5 months have passed after the surgery and your nose is still stuffy, there is a problem with smell, if the nose is still dry, bleeding and crusty, it should be considered that there is a problem.
Just as the crash of the stock market, the sinking of the Titanic, or an earthquake does not keep you away from the stock market, does not prevent you from boarding ships, or does not prevent you from living in apartments; Then you should never think that the unsuccessful nose surgery you have had is insoluble from now on. You should never let fear of a bad event in your past stop you from doing the right thing.
You may have had one or more unsuccessful nose surgeries. Your nose today may be bad both in shape and function, but never forget that; This may change and may solve all of your problems.
