Revision Rhinoplasty Surgeon, How to Choose Where to Go
Rhinoplasty is the first surgery many people think of, but sometimes the result may not meet expectations, or problems may occur.
Deciding to have nose reshaping therefore needs careful thought, especially if you have already been through pain and discomfort. Having your nose reshaped or correcting problems from a previous nose is one way of changing your face. Nose reshaping at S45 Clinic is designed by the surgeon case by case to suit your face, and aims to support your personal image and confidence.
What to Know Before Revision Rhinoplasty
- A surgeon with limited experience may cause other problems, such as a tilted or crooked nose, infection or implant extrusion. Choosing an experienced and trustworthy surgeon is therefore a top priority.
- The cost is higher than first-time rhinoplasty, because the surgeon has to consider the existing nose structure and, if other problems are found, correct them so the original problem does not happen again.
- If you had rhinoplasty elsewhere and some tissue was removed, certain nose shapes may not be possible in revision.
- Consider the medical facility. Check that the clinic meets standards, starting with its medical facility licence, operating theatre and the surgeon’s licence.
- Look at shapes from review cases, both videos and photos, to judge whether the shape is close to what you want, and to assess the surgeon’s experience.
- Ask for detailed information about which material will be used for your revision, such as septal cartilage, acellular dermal matrix, your own rib cartilage or a silicone implant, and listen to the surgeon’s advice on which material suits your nose structure.
- Aftercare. As well as the surgeon’s advice and care, find out the aftercare terms so you know someone will look after you if a problem occurs, including follow-up appointments and wound cleaning.
- Prepare before surgery. Tell the surgeon clearly about any medical conditions and drug or food allergies. If you are having a general anaesthetic, do not eat or drink for at least 6 to 8 hours, and stop smoking, drinking alcohol and taking vitamins and supplements.
