Aesthetic nose surgery is an aesthetic operation applied to
\nresolve the problems in the form of and the functions of the nose. Permanent
\nchanges are introduced to the bone and cartilage tissues in the nose so that
\nrestorations are performed in the form and the function of the nose. It is
\nreported in the literature that various problems have emerged in every four
\npatients who underwent a nasal aesthetic surgery,\u00a0 raising a need for a revision surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite undergoing a nasal surgery previously, a revision
\naesthetic nose surgery can be performed in these patients who think that their
\nproblems have persisted. The patients may be suffering from the shape of the
\nnewly formed nose or from respiratory difficulties. Some patients may demand
\nsome changes when they saw the newly formed shape of their noses. This is
\nbecause a rhinoplasty is an operation unique to each individual. The patient
\nsatisfaction is the measure of the success of the operation. Individuals do not
\ncare this much on the disfigurations they have lived with since their births.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, they tend to exaggerate the emergent\u00a0 issues after the aesthetic operations they
\nunderwent upon their wills. A <\/span>revision rhinoplasty <\/a><\/span>will have a more
\ncomplex course for both the patient and the physician compared to the first
\noperation. Nevertheless, the nose surgeon must relieve the concerns of the
\npatient, provide the necessary information to ensure that there will be no loss
\nof confidence, and finally must resolve the issues with the revision operation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>When Should be a
\nRevision Rhinoplasty Should be Performed?<\/span><\/h3>\n

A newly formed nose configuration cannot be observed sooner in
\nthe patients who underwent an aesthetic nasal surgery. The edema and the
\nbruises on the face developing after the operation will prevent those changes
\nfrom being apparent. A certain amount of time will be needed for the patients
\nfor these emerging changes in the outlook to resolve. Patients should not make
\nimmediate decisions on the issues in the newly formed configuration of the
\nnose.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that patients should wait for a duration of at least
\n6 months or 1 year if they feel a dissatisfaction with the new shape of the
\nnose associated with the edema.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, the shape of the nose should be evaluated accordingly
\nwhen a complete resolution develops. Repeat operations before this period will
\nhave lower success rates. Revision rhinoplasty should be decided after the new
\nconfiguration of the bone settles down. The revision process should be managed
\nwhile staying in close contact with the patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in case of disfigurations in the newly formed bone such
\nas moving aside or drooping, a revision rhinoplasty can be performed to resolve
\nthese issues at the end of a 3-month period.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Who Should Perform a
\nRevision Rhinoplasty?<\/span><\/h3>\n

When there is a need for a revision, the most correct approach
\nwould be that the surgeon who performed the aesthetic nose surgery will operate
\nthe patient. If there were no emergent issues in tissue healing at the first
\noperation, the surgeon who performed the first operation should do the revision
\nsurgery. The reason for this lies in the fact that your surgeon knows the
\ninterventions he performed inside and outside of the nose. This will lead to
\nthe success of further interventions in the revision rhinoplasty.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if there is a loss of confidence, lack of empathy or
\nmiscommunication between the surgeon and the patient, the patient can see
\nanother competent surgeon. This second surgeon needs to know the minutes of the
\noperation and notes in the patient chart exactly and should examine the
\nphotographs of the nose prior to the first surgery. Then, she or he will need
\nto identify the defective areas and talk with the patient in detail about how
\nto reconstruct and revise it.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>How is the Need for
\nTissue Replacement is Met During the Revision Rhinoplasty?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\n

Revision surgeries allow reconstructions on the previously
\nintroduced changes in the configuration of the nose. This means that the nose
\nwill be revised by reconstructing it. Therefore, a need for some cartilage
\ntissue may arise depending on the procedures to be performed during the
\noperation. Because the cartilage tissue of the bone has already been used in
\nthe first operation, it may be required to take the cartilage tissue from other
\nparts of the body. In those cases, the external ear cartilage (cartilage from
\nthe auricle) or the cartilage from the ribs are considered. Taking the
\ncartilage tissue from the external ear will not cause any issues to emerge. The
\nonly point is that the ears need to stay bandaged during one day after taking
\nthe cartilage tissue. If the cartilage is not sufficient enough in the external
\nears, the cartilage tissue of the ribs will meet the demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the patients do not agree with the removal of cartilage from
\ntheir own bodies, the cartilage can be supplied from cadavers or from synthetic
\nproducts.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this decision may create some problems including
\nrejection of these tissues by the host body or occurrence of volume reductions.
\nThis is why expert surgeons always consider the own tissues of the patients as
\nthe safest. Other procedures may also be relevant in some specific cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>What are the Grounds
\nfor the Decision to Perform a Revision Rhinoplasty?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The demand of the patient for a second operation may be
\nassociated with the difficulties in breathing or the untoward outlook of the
\nconfiguration of the nose. As patient satisfaction is important in aesthetic
\nnose surgeries, all potential changes are fulfilled in revision rhinoplasties.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>What will be Performed
\nin the Revision rhinoplasty if the Patient Demands a Lower Nose?<\/span><\/h3>\n

This issue may arise if a sufficient amount of tissue was not
\nexcised in the first operation. this is among the most common issues in
\naesthetic nose surgeries performed according to the operation plan. The
\nexcessive intranasal tissue is removed in the <\/span>revision rhinoplasty <\/a><\/span>, meeting the demand of
\nthe patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>What will be Performed
\nin the Revision Rhinoplasty if the Patient Demands an Upturned Nose?<\/span><\/h3>\n

If this is the demand, more complex procedures will be performed
\nin the revision rhinoplasty. Because upturning the nose is a more complex
\nprocedure than lowering the nose. In order to achieve this, an amount of
\ncartilage tissue may need to be taken from another part of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n

This cartilage tissue removed from another part of the body will
\nbe placed inside the nose, fulfilling the demand of the patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

What will be performed in the revision rhinoplasty if the
\npatient informs that the dorsum of the nose has been removed to a lesser
\nextent?<\/span><\/p>\n

A second operation will be needed if the nasal hump persists in
\na patient who underwent an aesthetic nose surgery. This revision can be
\nperformed easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

The excessive bone and cartilage inside the nose are rasped,
\neliminating the nasal hump.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>What Will be Performed
\nin the Revision Rhinoplasty if More than a Required Amount of Tissue has Been
\nRemoved From the Nasal Hump?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The excessive tissue removal from the dorsum of the nose during
\nthe previous rhinoplasty will cause a sunken appearance at the dorsum of the
\nnose with an unpleasant outlook. This should be revised.<\/span><\/p>\n

As this procedure requires cartilage placement on the dorsum of
\nthe nose, the cartilage tissue taken from the other parts of the body will be
\npositioned on the nasal dorsum.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Will a Revision be
\nRequired if a Nasal Obstruction Develops After an Aesthetic Nose Surgery?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The structural changes introduced during a rhinoplasty should
\nensure that a nasal obstruction will not be experienced. Breathing difficulties
\nshould be resolved by the operation and no nasal obstruction should develop.<\/span><\/p>\n

If a nasal obstruction problem still persists although the
\npatient has completed the recovery period, a revision rhinoplasty will be
\nunavoidable.<\/span><\/p>\n

The physiology inside the nose will settle down following the
\n6th month after the operation and any decisions should be made then
\naccordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Will a New Operation
\nPlan be Made for a Revision Rhinoplasty?<\/span><\/h3>\n

A complete operation plan should be structured by the nose
\nsurgeon in order to achieve a successful outcome after the second operation.
\nThe revisions in the nose should be determined, the extra need for
\nsupplementary tissues need to be identified, and the regions where the extra
\ntissues will be obtained should definitely be defined. A precise decision is
\nusually not possible before exposing the nose in most of the cases, therefore,
\nthe surgeon should be prepared for all kind of possibilities and should have
\nobtained the consent of the patient before starting the surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Can the Nose be
\nReshaped with a Revision Rhinoplasty?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Reshaping the nose completely is not possible by revision
\nrhinoplasties. Therefore, an experienced nose surgeon must be involved in the
\nfirst operation and he or she must do his or her best in making the operation
\nplan in order to ensure the satisfaction of the patient. Only restorations on
\nthe new configuration made in the first operation are possible in the revision
\nrhinoplasty. Keeping this in mind, the significance of the first operation
\nshould be acknowledged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Revision rhinoplasties are always much more complex with lower
\nsuccess rates compared to the preceding surgeries, however, it should be
\nremembered that more satisfactory outcomes are achievable at competent hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Experienced and competent hands combined with strong
\ncommunication skills can ensure favorable results.<\/span><\/p>\n
