What to Do After a Botched Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgeries done today, which strengthens patient's confidence that they will have satisfying results. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. The overall experience may be unpleasant and lead to unwanted results. This can be due to a low-skilled surgeon, problems during the recovery period, complications, and side effects. Luckily there are ways to fix a botched rhinoplasty so that the individual will achieve their desired results whether that is the way it looks or how they breathe. Revisional (secondary) rhinoplasty surgery is the best way to fix various issues from a previous rhinoplasty. The patient may feel that too much bone, cartilage, or tissue was removed by the surgeon, which makes their nose appear too small for their face. Finding a reliable surgeon who can fix this issue will be beneficial. He or she will correct the problem through an augmentation in which cartilage from other areas of the body is used. Synthetic implants can also be used in order to reshape the nose. The opposite issue of the patient having too much removed from their nose is having not enough taken. Fortunately this is the easiest issue to fix because it usually involves completing what was already started in the previous surgery. It is common for patients to request that their nose return to what it naturally looks like. The results vary depending on what the cosmetic surgeon has to work with, but usually he or she can successfully correct the damage, leaving the patient satisfied with the final result. It is important that the patient be both in a good state of health both physically and mentally. There may be issues with trust, anger, and anxiety the second time around because of the previous negative experience. Being open to discussion and making it clear what results are wanted will help to ease any stresses of the revision surgery. Finding a suitable surgeon who is informative and helpful will also make the revision a more successful outcome than the last. Just like any other surgery, goals are not always achieved. Whether the appearance of the nose has not been met, or the patient is still having breathing issues, a botched rhinoplasty surgery can be corrected. People decided to have rhinoplasty in order to boost their confidence so when the surgery does not go right, it can leave them feeling worse than prior to it. No one has to settle for dissatisfying results. Doing research on revision surgery will lead the way to reaching the desired goal that should have been met the first time.
