Failed rhinoplasty: complications or error. Indications for re-plasty

The overall attractiveness and harmony of the face largely depend on the shape of the nose. That is why most plastic surgery interventions involve rhinoplasty. But the result obtained does not always satisfy the client and he often decides to carry out a second correction.

Indications

Manipulation to correct the shape of the nose is a very complex surgical intervention in the human body. Therefore, sometimes the doctor has to make a correction in 2 stages. Performing secondary rhinoplasty in such cases is simply one of the steps towards the desired beauty.

It is much more serious when repeated surgery is required for the following reasons:

• noticeable scars on the face after primary rhinoplasty;
• unsatisfactory appearance - drooping tip, depressions or dips, proliferation of scar tissue, asymmetrical appearance of the wings of the nose;
• loss of smell;
• difficulty breathing:
• partial destruction or curvature of the nasal septum.

Interesting fact: according to medical statistics, every fourth person who has had a nose job ends up on the operating table again.

If we do not take into account those cases where secondary rhinoplasty is one of the stages in the formation of appearance, then most problems are caused by the following factors:

• poorly performed primary rhinoplasty – surgeon errors, use of inappropriate materials;
• development of postoperative complications;
• violation of doctor's recommendations during the rehabilitation period.

A combination or one of these factors leads a patient to undergo rhinoplasty a second time.

90% of successfully performed primary rhinoplasty is a matter of choosing the right specialist and full compliance with all recommendations during the rehabilitation period.

If within six months after the operation the patient has severe pigmentation on the face, suffers from frequent bleeding, inflammation or tissue abscess begins, this means that rhinoplasty was not successful.

After rhinoplasty, the nose looks artificial

Partly, but it's true. If you insist on getting a nose like Angelina Jolie or Monica Bellucci, the result may not live up to your expectations. Most likely, to achieve such a result, more than one operation will be needed, and after numerous interventions, the nose will look as if it was poured out of wax. In addition, this significantly affects the cost of rhinoplasty - the more procedures, the more expensive it is.

Plastic surgeons claim that the beauty of the nose does not depend on a specific shape, but on maintaining proportions. In the best clinics in the world, they do computer visualization of different nose shapes, which helps to choose the most suitable one for a particular type of face.

Rhinoplasty clinics in Korea are considered the best in this field. Korean doctors perform more than a million operations annually and have extensive experience, so 99% of operations are carried out without complications.

Paris Hilton

The once socialite, almost successful singer and actress, was worried about two things from early childhood: small breasts and a terrible nose. Unfortunately or fortunately, the welfare of the Hilton family made it possible to fulfill the whims of the girl. They say that the girl’s father spent a long time trying to persuade her to give up this idea. Among his arguments was the mention of money: they say, with such a dowry, there will be no end to suitors. In addition, he was worried that his child would become one of many, like a doll. And so it happened. However, no one doubts Hilton’s shocking potential - if she still had an ugly nose, she would have found an opportunity to use it.

Nose job is a painful procedure.

Fear of pain is one of the common reasons why women refuse rhinoplasty. Despite the fact that this is an operative method of surgery, the patient does not experience pain during the procedure. Surgeons perform it under general anesthesia.

You may feel pain after surgery - during the healing stage. It does not last long, as doctors prescribe painkillers and wound-healing drugs.

In addition, in some cases, it is enough to do nose contouring - rhinoplasty without surgery, when the shape of the nose is corrected using hyaluronic acid injections. This means that the procedure will be painless.

WHY DOESN'T THE RESULT COICH WITH EXPECTATIONS?

On review sites or social pages you can read hundreds of reviews of unhappy women who were never able to fulfill their dream of becoming a beauty. This may also be the fault of the surgeon - he is not qualified enough and does not comply with the regulations.

In one of the Youtube videos, the surgeon and anesthesiologist performing rhinoplasty do not remove metal bracelets and watches from their hands, and the anesthesiologist does not even have disposable gloves on his hands, which are necessary during the operation.

Solution to the problem: finding a clinic with reliable and qualified employees who provide high-quality services.

Correction of appearance can be carried out with unsterile instruments and using cheap raw materials and low-quality implants - the result will be disastrous.

Korean singer Hang Mioku lost her human appearance due to the mistakes of surgeons and the cheap materials used, in particular, low-quality Botox.

But there is another aspect – women’s passion for plastic surgery. Single-time rhinoplasty allows you to make your facial features more harmonious without disturbing the proportions and maintaining the zest of your appearance.

Several such interventions in a row end in fiasco. Most often, women undergo repeated blepharoplasty and double eyelid lifting, as well as lip augmentation.

There is a reasonable alternative - creams high in collagen, hyaluronic acid or arginine. Such products help restore the natural synthesis of collagen and hyaluronate and promote cell regeneration. The skin is rejuvenated, becomes smooth and radiant.

Any plastic surgeon can perform rhinoplasty

Plastic surgeons have a specialization. This means that they choose a specific direction, study it in detail, participate in various studies and achieve high results. Therefore, it is important to choose a plastic surgeon who specializes in nose surgery.

Lil Kim

The rapper has always been a regular visitor to plastic surgeons and spoke about it quite openly. The reason for this was the men she chose. They constantly criticized her appearance, and Lil Kim diligently corrected all her shortcomings. The star has had rhinoplasty at least four times. She carefully made the wide nose characteristic of her race narrower. At first it really worked out well, but suddenly the singer had an affair with a drug dealer who constantly beat her and broke her nose twice. Whether this was the reason that Kim’s nose looks at least strange, or the inability to stop, was left behind the door of the plastic surgeon.

Rehabilitation after rhinoplasty takes a long time

The healing process after rhinoplasty lasts a week. For 2 weeks after surgery, the patient wears a bandage - a special bandage that fixes the shape of the nose. The bandage is similar to a bandage and does not interfere with normal life. The price of rhinoplasty does not include the cost of the bandage; the patient pays for it separately.

Heavy physical activity is prohibited in the first 2 weeks after surgery, as it can cause dizziness and weakness.

The bandage is removed 3 weeks after rhinoplasty. The results of the procedure will be most noticeable 1-12 months after the procedure.

What should you pay attention to?

A clinic specialist makes a decision about how long it will take to have a repeat plastic surgery. Ideally, wait a year before corrective measures.

It is recommended to adhere to the following rules:

1. If possible, the correction should be carried out by the same person who did it the previous time. He has a complete picture of the progress of the initial manipulation and can optimally plan revision rhinoplasty. This rule should not be followed in cases where the need for another surgical intervention is caused by poor performance of the doctor. If the specialist changes, you need to provide him with as much detailed information as possible - what materials were used, where the incisions were made, how the rehabilitation period went. You can provide photographs of the nose before and after the intervention, formulate in detail your wishes and reasons for dissatisfaction.

2. The patient must strictly follow all recommendations in the postoperative period. A qualified specialist will definitely try to create realistic expectations for the client before re-correction. Too rosy hopes can lead to disappointment and subsequent depression if they do not come true.

Rehabilitation

The postoperative period is easier than with the primary intervention. And the duration of rehabilitation is significantly reduced. The stitches are removed only after 7 days. Swelling and hematomas may be present for up to 4 weeks.

Depending on the patient’s condition, the doctor may prescribe physical therapy and ointments to allow the wounds to heal faster. Most reviews about the use of magnetic resonance therapy are positive.

Within six months after rhinoplasty it is recommended:

• Sleep only on your back.
• Don't blow your nose.
• Limit physical activity, especially bending forward, and do not lift heavy objects.
• Avoid being in direct sunlight; solarium is prohibited.
• When taking any medications, you should consult your doctor.

Otherwise, it is important to adhere to the rules of a healthy lifestyle - do not smoke or drink alcohol, walk more, take vitamins, sleep at least 8 hours a day.

For the first time after rhinoplasty, you should stop wearing glasses so as not to put strain on the bridge of your nose!

There are no special prohibitions on food, but it is necessary to limit the consumption of salt and sugar, smoked foods, and it is better to avoid fried foods.

Possible complications

All problems that arise can be divided into 3 groups:

1. Temporary complications arising from tissue injury: hematomas, swelling, decreased skin sensitivity, loss of smell, increased temperature in the first 2-3 days.

2. Functional disorders: abscesses, perforation of the nasal septum, atrophy of the nasal cartilage, difficulty breathing.

3. Aesthetic problems – when the patient is dissatisfied with his appearance even after successful correction. Often the reviews of others who are unaccustomed to a new type of person play a role here.

Most complications can be avoided if you responsibly choose a surgeon and a clinic where rhinoplasty will be performed, and follow the doctor’s instructions during the rehabilitation period.

Note! When selecting a specialist, you need to take into account not only his qualifications and the services that the rehabilitation clinic will offer, but also reviews from real clients who have already improved their appearance.

Service cost

The price of the procedure can vary significantly depending on the amount of work and the qualifications of the surgeon. If the reason for revision rhinoplasty is medical errors, a self-respecting specialist will do it for free. But this happens extremely rarely; in most cases, the clinic is able to prove that the patient himself did not follow the recommendations in the postoperative period.

The price for reoperation is higher than for primary surgery. In particularly difficult cases, it can reach 300,000 rubles.

Men don't get rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is also popular among men. Representatives of the stronger sex resort to surgery for 2 reasons: nasal injuries and aesthetics.

It is easy to damage your nose in high-risk sports. In case of fractures or deviated septum, rhinoplasty is mandatory in most cases.

Some men are even more complex about their appearance than women. Statistics show that 15 out of 100 people who have rhinoplasty are men.

Joan Rivers

Joan has always been known as a scandalous woman. She never skimped on caustic comments about her colleagues. But her beauty was that she could always joke about herself, including about her endless plastic surgeries. A journalist once asked Rivers if it was true that she had undergone 734 plastic surgeries. She exclaimed with feigned indignation: “No! 739! And in general, I have survived so much plastic that after death my body will be given to a plastic tableware store!” Joan liked to emphasize that she spoke openly about her operations: “They deny all other operations. They stand there like Frankenstein’s brides and say, “I didn’t do anything.” And everything would be fine if Rivers herself didn’t look like this bride.

Tori calmly states that she had breast surgery and a nose job. The Beverly Hills star had rhinoplasty at the age of 16 and came to filming with a new nose. But something went wrong, and obvious dents and scars became visible on the wings of the nose. It is unknown why the actress did not decide to correct the situation. However, this does not stop her from continuing to act. In addition, Spelling successfully tries herself in a new genre: her autobiographical books become real bestsellers and even receive literary awards.

Meg Ryan

The actress always dreamed of removing her excessive snub nose. But Meg didn’t take into account that all plastic surgeries have a cumulative effect and over the years the face begins to look unnatural. Even such neat and completely imperceptible changes to the nose were emphasized by blepharoplasty, lip surgery, and endless injections.

Mickey Rourke

How attractive Mickey Rourke was in his youth! Yes, a person’s years are not always beautiful, but in the case of an actor, it’s not a matter of age. One fine (or terrible) day, Mickey decided to change his profile and took up boxing seriously. Year after year he suffered injuries typical of this sport. His ear was broken and his nose was broken twice. It is quite logical that the man decided to turn to specialists. But he ended up with completely incompetent people who only made the situation worse. And no matter how hard Rourke tried to fix it, no matter what tricks he used, it didn’t get any better. Alas and ah!

Melanie Griffith is another example of global (and unjustified!) work on her appearance. The actress has been visiting surgeons for many years. For example, she worked on her nose from 2001 to 2016, constantly doing micro-operations. Result? Loss of popularity, dissatisfaction with fans, divorce from Antonio Banderas, depression and ending up on this list.

Since 2014, Renee Zellweger has topped the ratings not only of the most beloved female movie characters, but also of victims of plastic surgery. True, it should be noted that her nose is far from her main mistake. The girl adjusted it a long time ago, only slightly reducing the width. But after the actress decided to change the shape of her eyes, the new nose was simply lost on her face. I had to choose one thing!

Beyoncé

The singer was generally pleased with her nose, she just wanted to make her wide nostrils more neat. The artist underwent several operations, but all of them were unsuccessful. As a result, Beyoncé's nose now looks too small against the background of her rather large facial features.

Lara Flynn Boyle

Lara's career went downhill due to unsuccessful plastic surgeries. Why the actress decided to correct her naturally graceful nose is not clear... In return, she received something similar to a bird's beak!

Demmy Moor

Not everyone knows, but this diva also became a victim of unsuccessful rhinoplasty. The actress wanted to make the bridge of her nose narrower, but in the end she ended up with a crooked bridge of the nose and complete asymmetry.

Janet Jackson

The sister of the late Michael Jackson followed in his footsteps... In pursuit of a perfect nose, the singer had so many rhinoplasties that it is no longer possible to correct the horror that now “flaunts” on her face.

What to do next?

Before you lie down on the operating table, you sign the documents. They will list all cases with an unfavorable outcome. First of all, you need to contact your surgeon who performed the manipulation on you. A highly qualified doctor must competently approach the current situation and solve the problem peacefully. Responsibility for an unsuccessful operation lies with two people - the doctor himself and the patient. The patient is obliged to follow all doctor's instructions after surgery. Money for the operation is returned if there really is a doctor’s error. To do this, you must contact the relevant authorities to protect your rights.

Prosecution

1. If you were unable to resolve the problem peacefully and negotiations with the doctor did not lead to a common denominator, then the first thing you need to do is draw up a claim that specifies your requirements.
2. Next, you need a written response from the clinic to your complaint.
3. If the clinic ignores your letter, then you can safely go to court. Be prepared to take a long time to resolve this issue. It will be necessary to undergo an independent expert examination, on the basis of which a decision will be made by law enforcement agencies.
