Nose jobs, or rhinoplasty procedures, are among the most popular types of facial plastic surgery procedures for men and women, but what do you do when a nose job goes wrong? Revision rhinoplasty procedures can help restore or fix a nose that's become disfigured after a rhinoplasty procedure and are typically performed by board-certified plastic surgeons. If you're the victim of a rhinoplasty gone wrong, you can return to the plastic surgeon who performed your initial nose job procedure or seek out the help of a different surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty.
Take a look at some examples of successful rhinoplasty before and after photos to select a nose shape and size that'll be a better match for you.
Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure
The revision rhinoplasty procedure is designed to fix a bad nose job. The most common reason why people undergo a revision rhinoplasty procedure is because too much of their nose was removed during their original nose job procedure. Revision surgery is different from the standard nose job procedure because it involves specialized techniques to manipulate the tissues and may involve making your nose shorter, longer, narrower, wider or smaller depending on your goals.
Revision rhinoplasty procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, and there's typically little pain and downtime involved. Most people need to take about a week off from work to recover and wear a small nasal bandage for about six days post-procedure.
