Revision Rhinoplasty is required when you have previously undergone a rhinoplasty and are unhappy with your results or are experience breathing problems as a result. Revision rhinoplasty can be more complex than primary nose surgery as the nose often needs to be rebuilt. It should only be trusted to a Winnipeg rhinoplasty specialist like Dr. Esmail.
Revision rhinoplasty surgery, also known as a revision nose job or secondary rhinoplasty, is a delicate procedure designed to correct or improve the results of a previous rhinoplasty. Experienced surgeons like Dr. Esmail understand the complexities involved in revision procedures, making it essential to choose a skilled facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience. Whether addressing breathing issues, nasal airway obstruction, or improving the appearance of the nose, a revision nose job procedure requires careful planning and surgical expertise. Revision surgeries are often performed to resolve complications from previous rhinoplasty surgeries or to enhance nasal function and facial harmony, helping patients achieve their goals.
Patients may seek revision rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty, for several reasons, including:
A revision nose job involves reshaping the nasal structure and addressing any functional issues that may have arisen from the initial rhinoplasty surgery. Techniques such as cartilage grafts, often from rib cartilage or septal cartilage, may be used to provide support and improve the nose’s appearance. Soft tissues and scar tissue from previous surgeries are carefully managed during the surgical procedure to ensure the best possible outcome. The nose bridge, nasal bones, and nasal septum may also be addressed to refine facial proportions and correct any crooked nose concerns.
It is typically recommended to wait at least 12 months after your initial rhinoplasty procedure before undergoing a revision rhinoplasty. This allows the healing process to complete, reducing scar tissue and giving the nasal structure time to settle. During this time, the swelling and scarring from the primary rhinoplasty surgery will subside, providing a clearer view of the final outcome. A consultation with a Rhinoplasty Surgeon, such as Dr. Esmail, will help determine if you are a suitable candidate for revision rhinoplasty based on your recovery and the specific issues with the initial surgery.
Revision rhinoplasties are far more complex than primary rhinoplasty procedures due to the presence of scar tissue, changes to the nasal bones, and the alterations made during the first surgery.
The cost of a nose job revision in Winnipeg can vary depending on the complexity of the revision procedure and the specific goals of the patient. As revision rhinoplasty surgery is more complex than primary rhinoplasty, the costs tend to be higher. During your initial consultation, Dr. Esmail will discuss the details of the surgical plan, including any necessary cartilage grafts or other reconstructive surgery techniques, to provide an accurate cost estimate. Financing options may be available for this facial plastic surgery.
As with all cosmetic surgeries and reconstructive procedures, revision rhinoplasties come with certain risks. These can include infection, excessive scarring, prolonged swelling, or dissatisfaction with the final outcome. Additional complications may arise due to the presence of scar tissue or changes from the initial surgery, which is why revision rhinoplasties require the expertise of an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon.
Dr. Esmail takes every precaution to minimize these risks, using advanced surgical techniques to achieve realistic expectations for each patient. Injectable fillers may sometimes be used to complement the surgery, but the delicate procedure requires precise care to ensure the best recovery and long-term results.
