Revision Rhinoplasty- Secondary Nose Surgery
Problems resulting from a primary rhinoplasty are usually described as Secondary Nose Surgery and the surgical procedure to correct these, Revision Rhinoplasty.
After a primary rhinoplasty, two main problems may arise: functional pathology, i.e. a deterioration of the nasal function and aesthetic issues.
Which are the aesthetic issues more commonly seen after a primary rhinoplasty?
There are set patterns for this procedure that can be analyzed separately:
Closed Rhinoplasty -over-resected nose
The vast majority of cases are those of closed rhinoplasty, leading to inadequate or overzealous resection. Excessive tissue removal takes place and nasal cartilages are over-resected.
This procedure became very popular in the 80’s and 90’s in South America, especially in Argentina and Brazil. It was never widely accepted either in Europe or the USA. Even nowadays many surgeons specialized in this technique or their apprentices still perform this type of surgery. Therefore, the age range of secondary rhinoplasty is remarkably wide, covering patients from 18 to 55 years.
