Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that revises or corrects a primary nose job. The revision procedure is much more complicated than the primary rhinoplasty. It requires a sophisticated understanding of the nasal structure and expert surgical technique, which the best-in-class nose plastic surgeon in New York City Dr. Linkov possesses.
What Is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Secondary rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at rectifying any deformities or abnormalities because of a botched primary rhinoplasty. It is a highly delicate procedure that requires a facial plastic surgeon to possess exceptional surgical skills, precision, experience, and expertise.
Patients seeking revision rhinoplasty in NYC are apprehensive. They have already undergone a complex facial procedure and have been disappointed with its outcomes. Therefore, Dr. Gary Linkov is especially attuned to the needs of these patients. His skillful job has attracted international intention and has made him arguably the best surgeon in New York and across the United States.
What Are the Reasons for a Secondary Nose Job?
People seek out rhinoplasty surgery to improve their nose, assuming it will be the only procedure on their nose. But sometimes, a person might find that the rhinoplasty results do not meet their cosmetic needs. They might still have breathing problems afterward, or even new breathing problems.
Often, these problems are an overly reductive initial rhinoplasty that took too much supportive tissue away, leaving the potential for many problems behind. People unhappy with the results of their first rhinoplasty will sometimes seek out rhinoplasty tip revision, either with the same surgeon or with a different surgeon.
Am I a Candidate for the Procedure?
Your health and safety are the top priorities for City Facial Plastics. Hence, your medical history will be thoroughly examined to determine if
revision rhinoplasty in New York will be safe for you. You are the right candidate if:
- You experience breathing difficulties after the initial procedure;
- You are gravely disappointed with the appearance of your nose;
- It has been at least one year since your primary nose job;
- Your nose structure has collapsed because of the lack of structural support;
- You can meet all the medical requirements for surgery and anesthesia to be safe.
Is Revision Rhinoplasty Worth It?
Whether a revision nose is worth it, the added downtime, risk, and expense depend on many factors. The revision rhinoplasty specialist should be able to explain to you what may have gone wrong during the first surgery and have a concrete plan on how to fix these issues. On the other hand, the patient needs to have a specific idea of what they want to have corrected and understand the challenges of, and the extended recovery for, a revision rhinoplasty.
