CORRECTIVE/REVISION RHINOPLASTY

NOSE SVF

Why does a Rhinoplasty fail?

Rhinoplasty failure occurs in only 5- to 10 percent of cases. A rhinoplasty failure could be the result of surgery done by an inexperienced surgeon, an excessively vigorous surgery or surgery that was not aggressive enough, such as:

Poor pre-operation planning
Lack of precision in placing incisions
Excessive extraction of cartilage and bone from the bridge of the nose
Damage to nasal tip cartilage, or rejection
Excessive extraction of septal cartilage (the septum is the wall of skin dividing the nostrils)
Unnecessary or poor use of skin grafts

Fail Rhinoplasty - What to do next?

A nose job failure sounds like a frightening thing. And, thankfully, if you do experience a failed rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty is an option to correct an unsatisfactory result from prior surgery.

If you have had prior nasal surgery elsewhere that has not met your specifications, either in terms of appearance or function, our surgeon will discuss with you the issue of rhinoplasty failure, and how to perform a corrective surgery that achieves your goals.

What is Corrective/ revision rhinoplasty

Corrective/ revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed on a nose previously operated to repair its shape and internal function. It is important to note that this procedure is a much more complex procedure than primary rhinoplasty surgery because of existing scar tissue and the vagaries of the healing process.

Here are reasons why you might seek revision rhinoplasty:

The initial rhinoplasty does not complement your face. The cartilage of the nose is loose, uncovered, too high or too thin.
The nose did not heal as expected, or healed aesthetically, but not functionally.
Experienced a nasal trauma during the initial rhinoplasty healing process.
The nose after initial rhinoplasty impedes normal facial mobility: facial expressions, laughing, expression of disappointment, crying or even smiling.

CONSULTATION

Discuss with your surgeon about what your concerns and your desired outcome, what may or may not be possible given your existing face anatomy, type and skin elasticity; Working with Morpheus and VECTRA XT 3D imaging system to visualize what the potential result of your surgery will be. The objective of rhinoplasty is to bring a sense of proportion and harmony to the face. Your nose will be photographed from different angles. These photos help with planning the surgery, assessing its immediate and long-term effects;
Comprehensive discussion regarding risks and complications;
Previous medical history, underlying medical conditions, a complete list of all medications you are taking, birth control, allergies etc. will also be recorded.

PREPARE FOR YOUR SURGERY

Strictly NO food and drink including water for 6-8 hours before surgery. Having food or drink in your system could cause complications from the anesthesia;
Stop smoking before your procedure for a few weeks to avoid nicotine-related risks;
Do not take medications that could increase bleeding, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and aspirin. Avoid supplements that have similar effects, like vitamin E and fish oil;
Patients shouldn’t undergo a second corrective surgery until their nose is fully healed from the first surgery;
You must be cleared for surgery by appropriate pre-surgery screening (blood test, EKG, X-ray, ultrasound etc.) in accordance with your surgeon's instructions and our Patient Safety requirements;
Choose clothes that will be comfortable (loose-fitting clothes and slip-on shoes). You shouldn't wear contact lenses, accessories like jewelry, watches, wigs or hairpins. Do not apply any products to your skin or hair the morning of surgery;
Line up a family member or friend to drive you home after your procedure or post-operative care since you will be receiving anesthesia.

PROCESS

Depending on the complexity of the procedure, you may be under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Revision rhinoplasties usually take longer to perform than primary rhinoplasties; some surgeries take as long as four or five hours.

Incisions are usually internal, but often a slight outside incision is used. The bone and cartilage of the nose are reshaped and caution is taken to protect the nose's respiratory function. Revision rhinoplasty often requires cartilage for structural support for the tip and/or bridge of the nose. Soft tissue irregularities along the bridge of the nose or tip may also require tissue that provides a cover or camouflage and acts as a "natural filler" which is permanent. Occasionally, scarring within the nose requires the use of skin grafts to reopen a distorted and narrowed nasal airway.

CARING & ROUNTINE CHECKUPS AFTER RHINOPLASTY

Right after the procedure: You will have caring services: checking up, giving medicines, bandage changing, advising, supporting frequently through hotline by EMCAS's customer service staffs. You must stay at hospital in the first 1-2 hours.

You should expect a lengthier healing process. During initial recorvery period, you need to wear a nose cast and suffer bleeding and swelling around the nose and eyes.

Around one or two years, full rhinoplasty results can usually be seen. Within two years, people with more complicated surgery, revision rhinoplasty surgery, advanced tip work and thick skin will potentially see the final outcomes.
