Rhinoplasty is the term that is used to refer to the medical procedure involving the plastic surgery of the nose. There are many reasons that a patient may decide to undergo rhinoplasty. Some require it because they were born with a hereditary deformity on the nose, while others acquired such deformities from accidents or injuries that have caused damage to the nasal area. Meanwhile, others undergo rhinoplasty for the simple reason that they are unhappy with the appearance of their noses.

Whatever may be the reason that rhinoplasty is required; there are times when the results of the said procedure do not completely satisfy the patient. Some rhinoplasty patients complain that the work done on their noses resulted in making their noses look bigger, smaller, wider, flatter, fatter, shorter, longer, too pinched, too artificial, too crooked, too scooped, or that their noses were not symmetrical, or that the surgery resulted in creating bumps and humps on their noses.

Others further complain that the rhinoplasty caused obvious scarring on their nasal areas, that the work done was not enough to make any significant difference on their overall looks, or on the other hand that the work done looked overdone and too artificial. Others get conscious because of the comments that other people make on their nose jobs.

However, there are other serious problems that a bad rhinoplasty or just a rhinoplasty procedure in general can cause for a patient. Some examples of these are breathing problems and rhinorrhea. Breathing problems can result when the scar tissue that forms as an effect of the incisions done during the surgery block the airways of the nose either partially or fully. This certainly affects the ability of the patient to breathe in and out properly. In some cases, when the patient breathes in and out, a hissing or whistling sound is produced.

Rhinorrhea can also result whenever scar tissue forms on the nasal area as a result of the rhinoplasty or more specifically, damage to the concha media and or the middle turbinate. Rhinorrhea is the condition of having an excessive amount of mucous that drips continuously from the nose. Experts say that it is inevitable that a rhinoplasty patient experience rhinorrhea for the next few months immediately following the surgery. However, it is definitely not normal to continually have this condition for years following the said surgery.

It is because of these and other reasons that a Miami revision rhinoplasty is required by some patients. Revision rhinoplasty means that the patient will undergo another rhinoplasty procedure to correct or improve the initial rhinoplasty that they had. It is important however to note that no one will ever have the perfect nose, as a surgeon’s work is limited to the specific anatomy of the patient as well as the latter’s racial background and facial features.

That is why it is not recommended that a person undergo revision rhinoplasty unless the reasons for doing so are serious and are damaging to the health.
