In addition to sustaining another trauma, common reasons for revision rhinoplasty include obstructed airways, pinched tips, notched or asymmetrical nostrils, and collapsed bridges.
Sometimes problems arise when patients had unrealistic expectations for their original rhinoplasty. For example, they want their nose to be even smaller - often to a degree that will not harmonize with their other facial features. Dr. Sadati has to explain that subtle changes are often best and that cute “button noses” do not suit every face. Your ideal nose should harmonize with your facial structure, your gender, your ethnicity, your personality, and your goals.
From 1997 to 2014 the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) has compiled data from board plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists to compare what the national average is for each cosmetic procedure. Over the past ten years, Dr. Kevin Sadati himself has compiled averages, which reflect him to be well above these national averages for facial plastic surgery procedures.
| Surgical Procedures | National Average* | Dr. Kevin Sadati** |
|---|---|---|
| Face Lift | 7.0 | 220 |
| Neck Lift | 2.0 | 165 |
| Rhinoplasty | 8.1 | 52 |
| Eyelid Surgery | 9.2 | 102 |
Rhinoplasty revisions are usually performed using a general anesthetic. Depending on the complexity of the surgery, surgery may take between one and three hours.
From there, Dr. Sadati will correct the functional and cosmetic issues discussed during your initial consultation before re-draping the skin and closing the incisions with very fine sutures.Following the procedure, you can expect to experience bruising and swelling, which will typically subside within 5-7 days. Although results will be apparent right after surgery, they will continue to improve over time as the swelling subsides and the nose heals. We recommend using cold packs for the first 48 hours following surgery. Frozen peas or crushed ice in a zip-lock bag work well. This will help reduce swelling, bruising and pain.
We recommend that you apply ice every few hours, for no longer than 20 minutes. Place a cloth between your nose and the ice pack to protect your skin. Dr. Sadati will give you information on your post-operative diet.
Generally, we recommend starting with bland, soft foods and then transitioning to your regular diet. If you experience nausea following your surgery, we recommend soft foods such as mashed potatoes or pudding, or using Saltine crackers to help settle your stomach. We will prescribe Zofran if you have severe nausea. The average recovery for rhinoplasty revision is about one week. Post-operative healing depends on the complexity of the surgery and how well you follow post-operative instructions. We strongly recommend that you avoid any strenuous activity during your recovery so that you don’t cause additional bleeding and swelling.
Allow yourself time to rest and recover from surgery! The interior of your nose will continue to be swollen for several weeks. At that time, your airway will start to clear and you will be able to breathe normally. You must not drink alcohol during your recovery. Alcohol dilates the blood vessels and can increase post-operative bleeding. Combining alcohol and pain medication is dangerous. We also ask you not drive while you are taking prescription pain medication.
FULL RHINOPLASTY REVISION
During your revision rhinoplasty Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Dr. Sadati, will most likely use an open approach. This entails separating the skin from the support framework of the cartilage and bone, which offers him full access to the structures within the nose. Dr. Sadati will then resculpt the nose to a more desired shape depending on the problem being addressed. If additional tissue is needed, an autologous approach is typically taken, which uses cartilage and bone from the patient.
TOUCH-UP RHINOPLASTY
Some patients may be happy with the look and feel of their nose following surgery but need a slight touch-up. This may include a visible bump or edge on the tip of the nose. This surgery is less complex than the original surgery and may only involve slight shaving of the bone. It usually produces an improved and more symmetrical nose contour.
