Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to change the shape and size of the nose. This surgery is generslly a successful procedure. However, in some cases, there may be a risk of disruption of rhinoplasty surgery.
Factors that increase the risk of disruption of rhinoplasty surgery include:
- Extent of the surgery: The larger the scope of the surgery, the higher the risk of deterioration. For example, the risk of deterioration in a surgery that requires shaping only the tip of the nose will be lower than the risk of deterioration in a surgery that also requires shaping the nasal bone and cartilage.
- Individual characteristics of the person: A person’s age, skin type and general health condition may affect the risk of disruption from rhinoplasty surgery. For example, older people may have a higher risk of deforming their nose shape after rhinoplasty because their skin is thinner.
- Surgeon’s experience: An experienced surgeon can perform the surgery more safely and successfully. However, the risk of deterioration may be higher in surgeries performed by an inexperienced surgeon.
Reasons for failure of rhinoplasty surgery include:
- Performing the surgery incorrectly: During the surgery, incorrect shaping of the nasal bones or cartilage may cause the nose surgery to malfunction.
- If the recovery process of the surgery is not going smoothly: After the surgery, swelling and bruising may occur in the nose area. This swelling and bruising usually subsides within the first few weeks after surgery. However, it is important to protect the nose from impacts before the swelling and bruising completely disappear. Impact in the nose area may cause disruption of the nose surgery.
- Deterioration of the person’s general health condition: Deterioration of the person’s general health condition may cause the nose surgery to deteriorate. For example, diseases such as diabetes and blood clotting may cause the nose surgery to malfunction.
Here are some points to consider to prevent deterioration of nose shape after rhinoplasty surgery:
- Choose an experienced surgeon.
- Have a comprehensive examination before surgery.
- Follow your doctor’s instructions after surgery.
- Protect your nose from impacts.
- Maintain good general health.
If the nose shape is distorted after rhinoplasty surgery, revision nose surgery may be required. It is important that revision nose surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon.
