Revision Rhinoplasty
If you have had a nose before then you probably know what it is like to have a rhinoplasty done. But if by any chance you fall under a category (no matter how miniscule it is) who is not satisfied with the nose job then maybe you are considering a revision rhinoplasty in which case the following pointers would help.
About 17% of the rhinoplasty done in US these days is revision rhinoplasty. These are done to correct some minor defects or irregularities. This can be done in doctor’s office and the cost is minimal.
There are some questions that have to be asked while going for a revision rhinoplasty though. Firstly what is the reason for seeking a revision rhinoplasty? If the reason is purely to improve your looks then you may be turned down as some people are never really satisfies with the way they look.
Second question is what the problem that needs to be corrected is and if it can be corrected at all? If the problem is genuine say for example that the nose is made too large or it is made too small then you are a candidate for revision rhinoplasty. These cases are generally referred to a specialist and can cost more as there are increased chances of infection and complications. Consequently extra care has to be taken in post operation period.
Third question is how much scarring is there?
Generally Irvine specialists are recommended for revision rhinoplasty for their skill and expertise in the matter and you would be better off if you consult one for revision rhinoplasty. An Irvine specialist may ask you more questions than a cosmetic surgeon but there is no need to panic or get worried as he is just making sure that nothing goes wrong the second time around

Open or closed rhinoplasty
If you have decided that you are going to get a rhinoplasty and is not sure whether to go for open rhinoplasty or closed rhinoplasty then this article might be of some help.
To begin with I will discuss the difference between open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty and why the former has increased in popularity. Open rhinoplasty is a process in which incision is made along the base of nose and skin is lift off the bony and cartilaginous structure of the nose thus allowing for better visualisation of the structure of the nose. However this process has certain disadvantages. It takes longer to heal and there can be more scar marks in this case and also require extra cartilage support. So the natural question is why is this process more popular? The answer to that question is simple. As you already know that rhinoplasty is a very complicated procedure and it requires lots of skill top become a master at it. Young plastic surgeons who are not quite experienced find it difficult to perform the closed rhinoplasty and hence recommend open rhinoplasty.
Now that you are familiar with the disadvantages of open rhinoplasty we may discuss closed rhinoplasty. This process is much more desirable because it leaves no scars at all; the healing process is faster and gives the desired result. The key is to be realistic and effective communication between patient and the surgeon. If the surgeon is aware of patient’s need and the patient has realistic expectations then it could be a win-win situation for both. For the surgeon, because a surgery well done is rewarding financially and gratifying and for the patient, because he got the nose he always wanted. So I would strongly recommend that you go for a closed rhinoplasty rather than an open one.
