Dr. Cory Torgerson discusses the plastic surgery procedure known as revision rhinoplasty. Revision rhinoplasty is one of the most complicated and challenging surgical cosmetic procedures, so it is very important that patients seek out a highly skilled facial plastic surgeon to conduct the procedure. Dr. Torgerson is widely known as a Revision Rhinoplasty expert. During an initial rhinoplasty (commonly called a nose job), the outcomes are usually positive and patients are happy with the results, but like all forms of cosmetic surgery, irregularities can occur and patients may seek out another surgeon to correct issues arising from the first rhinoplasty. In these cases, secondary rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty may be required to give the patient optimal results; this is why choosing a reputable, top Revision Rhinoplasty surgeon is a must. The best candidates for Revision Rhinoplasty are those who need to restore nasal shape and function. It is also important that they have realistic expectations about the improvements that can be achieved through the secondary surgery, as well as strong physical and emotional health. The 3D Vectra imaging system can be used to show patients what their possible outcomes could look like. By working together with Dr. Torgerson to design the desired nose shape, patients can feel more confident about having the surgery. The procedure itself is very similar to primary rhinoplasty, however other techniques such as grafting may also be necessary to achieve the desired result. The surgery takes between 2-4 hours and can be done under conscious sedation or general anesthesia. Pain medication is prescribed and most patients find the recovery process quite comfortable. The cast is removed after one week, and swelling and bruising subsides over 10-14 days, while subtle changes in the nose continue to take shape for several months afterwards as the nose heals and settles.
