Are you unhappy with the results of your previous nose job? It’s understandable to feel disappointed and frustrated – you envisioned having the nose of your dreams, but instead, you were left with results that didn’t match your expectations.
Fortunately, you don’t have to be “stuck” with your new nose. Fixing a nose job is possible with the help of an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Ronald H. Schuster in Baltimore, Maryland. This procedure, known as secondary or revision rhinoplasty, requires advanced techniques to correct both cosmetic and functional concerns.
With decades of expertise, Dr. Schuster has helped many patients improve their outcomes with customized revision procedures.
Why Consider Fixing a Nose Job?
Many people seek a nose job correction for a variety of reasons:
- The previous procedure left the nose asymmetrical or with an unnatural shape.
- Functional issues, like breathing difficulties, developed due to structural changes.
- The tip of the nose may still feel too large, uneven, or distorted.
- Irregularities such as bumps, depressions, or shifting cartilage became noticeable over time.
If any of these scenarios resonate with you, revision rhinoplasty could be the right solution.
What to Expect During a Nose Job Correction
Fixing a previous nose job is often more complex than an initial rhinoplasty. Scar tissue, altered anatomy, and changes from the first surgery require a specialized approach. Dr. Schuster will take the time to thoroughly evaluate your situation so he can come up with your surgical plan.
Open rhinoplasty is often the preferred technique for secondary rhinoplasty, especially in complex cases, as it allows for greater visibility and precision during surgery.
In some cases, cartilage grafting may be necessary to rebuild or reinforce the nasal structure. This cartilage is often harvested from the septum, ear, or even the rib, depending on the level of reconstruction required.
Recovery from revision rhinoplasty is often similar to the first procedure, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks. Complete healing may take longer due to the complexity of the surgery.
