As with the initial surgery, a revision rhinoplasty can involve an either open or closed procedure. The difference between an open or closed technique is that in the open version, visible incisions allow the surgeon to see the cartilages and tissues of the nose. The closed operation is performed with the surgeon actually visualizing the underlying structures and architecture. The open technique generally involves a longer time under anesthesia, but allows for meticulous work. Closed surgeries leave little evidence of work, such as a virtually non-existent scar and are performed by highly skilled surgeons such as those found in Orange County’s medical campuses.
In post-operative recovery, you will likely experience bruising, swelling, and feeling stuffy. Your surgeon may recommend nasal packing and ice to reduce swelling. To further reduce the incidence of swelling, it is important to sleep with your head at an angle. You also may be fitted with a cast that can be removed after a week; however, full recovery can take several months. It is also likely that bruising will not be limited to the nasal area and may appear under the eyes.
Few things might lead you to more stress than the discovery that your high-dollar nose job would make a hockey player blush. In the final analysis, as a famous consultant once remarked; it is important to begin with the end in mind. Whatever the surgical procedure or however long the subsequent recovery time; it will be well worth the trouble to have a real professional correct what a hack has botched. Furthermore, no matter where in the nation you may be—the experts in Orange County can fix a nose job gone wrong.
