Rhinoplasty is plastic surgery performed to change the shape and size of the nose. Rhinoplasty is designed to improve the appearance and/or breathing function. Revision rhinoplasty in Upper East Side is a complex surgical procedure designed to correct unwanted results from primary rhinoplasty. It is performed on patients who are unhappy with the results of a previous nose job for cosmetic or functional reasons.
Nose surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, as it can significantly enhance facial appearance. It is a challenging procedure to perform, and every year, a percentage of rhinoplasty patients will require revision (or secondary) surgery. This may be necessary because of aesthetic issues, breathing problems, or both.
The initial recovery phase after revision rhinoplasty in Upper East Side lasts approximately two weeks. Expect some bruising and swelling, which will begin to subside after about a week. Discomfort can be managed with medication and cool packs. We will help you with specific instructions to follow as you recover.
While you may be able to see some results after a couple of weeks, residual swelling may take up to one year to completely subside. Your final results will be visible once the swelling has fully diminished.
