Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to correct complications or unsatisfactory results from previous nasal surgeries. At The Georgia Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Achih H. Chen specializes in this intricate technique to address both cosmetic and functional nasal concerns.
Common Revision Rhinoplasty Challenges
Revision rhinoplasty addresses complex issues such as:
- Unnatural or "operated" nasal appearance
- Structural nasal collapse
- Breathing difficulties
- Asymmetry
- Nasal projection problems
Procedural Approach
Dr. Chen offers two primary surgical approaches for revision rhinoplasty: an internal (endonasal) method and an external approach. The chosen technique depends on individual anatomy and specific correction requirements.
Surgical Techniques
Depending on the patient's unique needs, Dr. Chen may utilize advanced techniques including:
- Cartilage grafting
- Structural reinforcement
- Precision tissue reshaping
Recovery and Expectations
Revision rhinoplasty is typically performed under deep intravenous sedation. Patients can expect minimal post-operative discomfort, with potential mild bruising and swelling resolving within 1-2 weeks.
Recovery Timeline
- Initial recovery: 5-7 days
- Return to light activities: Within a few days
- Avoid vigorous activities: 1 week
- Resume contact sports: After 4 weeks
