Secondary rhinoplasty surgery

Secondary rhinoplasty is an operation to eliminate the consequences of previous nose surgery or the next correction stage in cases where the patient has a "complex" nose. A large amount of surgical intervention is impossible in one operation. Instead, one or more corrective procedures are needed. For example, the nose tip often needs correction after the first operation. Sometimes dense scar tissue forms after surgery. That leads to structural defects and distortion of the shape of the nose. Repeated rhinoplasty solves aesthetic problems, returning the nose to a harmonious shape, and the patient is confident in his attractiveness. The recovery period between operations should be at least six months. Before the secondary nose job, the surgeon carefully examines the progress of the previous operation. Then, having received a complete picture of the condition of the nose, he selects the method of plastic surgery. Finally, it is conducted in a closed or open approach under general anesthesia. Initially, the doctor peels off soft tissues by exposing bones and cartilage. Then it eliminates the defect (removal of the hump, correction of the nasal septum, rhinoplasty of the tip, etc. ). After the necessary manipulations, the surgeon applies stitches and splints. The fixing splint is removed after one week. Bruises and swelling subside after 1-2 weeks.
