What Is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective procedure that addresses unsatisfactory aesthetic and functional results from a previous rhinoplasty procedure. You may be considering this surgery to refine the appearance of your nose or simply to enhance your breathing. Since your nose is your most prominent facial feature, it is crucial that you are happy with how it functions and looks. You may feel that after surgery your nose still feels too big, over-projected, crooked, or has an unsightly bump. Making surgical adjustments to your nasal structure, bones, and cartilage, Dr. Bader routinely delivers optimum results; ones that you wish you had the first time around.
Dr. Bader’s Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure in Plano, Texas
We understand your fear of going through this process again, which is why we prioritize transparency, communication, and care. While each revision rhinoplasty is a highly personalized procedure, it will follow this typical timeline.
Initial Consultation
During your revision rhinoplasty consultation, Dr. Bader will take time to discuss your medical history, concerns about your appearance, and your aesthetic goals. This is an open, honest, and safe space where Dr. Bader will present you with options and create a procedure plan that caters to your case.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Blood work and pre-surgery tests may be requested by Dr. Bader ahead of the procedure. Since you will undergo a general anesthetic, smoking, alcohol, and certain medications are best avoided two weeks before your revision rhinoplasty in order to minimize risks and complications.
Out-of-Town Patient Arrival
Traveling to Bader Facial Plastics from outside of Plano? Dr. Bader recommends arriving 1-2 days before your scheduled surgery to best acclimatize before the big day.
Day Before Surgery
Patients must attend a pre-surgery appointment to review instructions and address any last-minute concerns before entering the operating room.
Day of Surgery
Normally, a revision rhinoplasty procedure can last between 3-6 hours depending on the work required. During this time you will be under a general anesthetic in our state-of-the-art medical facility that caters to one patient at a time. Depending on your needs Dr. Bader may opt for an open or closed approach. He may also correct the framework of the nose using cartilage grafts to recreate the appearance of an unoperated nose. It is essential that someone accompanies you at home and assists you during the first night.
Post-Surgery Follow-Up
During the initial stages post-surgery, the bruising and swelling will be at their worst but this will calm down over the following weeks. Your head will need to be placed in an elevated position during the first days and full rest is required. After the first week, Dr. Bader will assess the recovery process and answer any questions during a follow-up appointment.
Travel Post Surgery
If you are an out-of-town patient, it is advised to remain in Plano, Texas for at least a week post-surgery to ensure optimum results.
Social Readiness
While the recovery process varies from patient to patient, you can expect to return to your daily activities after 2 weeks. However physical exertion and exercise must be avoided during the first month.
Am I A Good Candidate For Revision Rhinoplasty?
If you are looking to have another rhinoplasty, schedule a consultation to discuss your revision surgery with Dr. Bader. This procedure is for you if you have previously had a nose job, are unhappy with the final result, and are looking for either a touch-up or to reconstruct your nose.
Revision Rhinoplasty Risks
All cosmetic surgery procedures come with their own set of risks and revision rhinoplasty is no exception. In fact, since it is a reconstructive surgery used to correct a previous intervention, the risks can sometimes be higher. This is due to altered anatomy, scar tissue, or previous surgical trauma. Possible risks and side effects include:
- Scarring
- Infection
- Asymmetry
- Difficulty breathing
Even with the best surgeons, when it comes to medical intervention, nothing is guaranteed. However, with Dr. Bader’s exhaustive experience, expert training, and precise technique, he is one of the best revision rhinoplasty doctors not only in North Texas but across the USA.
Recovery From Revision Rhinoplasty
In most cases, recovery from a revision rhinoplasty procedure is quick and without complications. Just like the recovery period of your first rhinoplasty, the initial stages involve painful swelling and bruising that subsides within the first weeks. A splint is worn to hold your reshaped nose in place while it heals. Once removed you can return to work and normal life, monitoring your recovery with follow-up appointments with Dr. Bader. Your nose will be fully recovered 18 months post-surgery.
