Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct complications or address aesthetic concerns following an initial nose surgery. Dr. Eric Okamoto, a board-certified plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist, provides comprehensive revision rhinoplasty services for patients seeking improved nasal aesthetics and function.
Ideal Candidates for Revision Rhinoplasty
Patients may be suitable candidates for revision rhinoplasty if they experience:
- Unsatisfactory results from previous rhinoplasty
- Functional complications from initial nose surgery
- Cosmetic issues not resolved by the first procedure
- Structural nasal deformities requiring correction
Surgical Approach
Each revision rhinoplasty procedure is meticulously customized to address individual patient needs. Dr. Okamoto typically performs the surgery under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis, often utilizing existing incision sites to minimize additional scarring.
Recovery and Expectations
Recovery from revision rhinoplasty mirrors that of primary rhinoplasty. Patients can anticipate mild swelling and bruising for several days, with gradual improvement over subsequent months. Most individuals return to normal activities within one week, following specific post-operative guidelines provided by Dr. Okamoto.
Important Considerations
- Patients are typically advised to wait at least one year after the initial surgery
- Comprehensive consultation and examination are essential
- Individual healing rates and results may vary
