Examples of unsuccessful rhinoplasty

7 March 2025

I've been doing rhinoplasty for thirty years. During this period, I gained extensive experience in conducting a plastic nose. I made thousands of primary noses. Hundreds of patients contacted me to correct past operations. Therefore, it is time to talk about how to avoid unsuccessful rhinoplasty and why they usually happen.Problems after unsuccessful plasticity of the nose.

Let's start with the most important thing. If you came to the clinic with experienced doctors and a big name, most likely most of the problems after your nose will be avoided. If you decide to save a lot and come to the clinic where cars are repaired through the wall, then you will have to worry. The main consequences of unsuccessful plasticity of the nose are related to the following moments:Examples of consequences after unsuccessful rhinoplastyAesthetic consequences

Do not treat the seams. This is due to the individual characteristics of the body. If you know you have slow tissue regeneration processes, it's better to inform the surgeon of this

The swelling does not leave. Here the reason can be both in the individual characteristics and in the skill of the surgeon. Another "X Factor" is anesthesia. You can read more about it in my article.

Too small nose. This is due to the fact that the surgeon removed too many tissues. But sometimes due to the fact that expectations do not meet the received

Too weak effect. Most often it is a psychological problem after rhinoplasty. When the patient thought that after the plasticity of the nose, he would change dramatically and eventually aesthetic adjustments just made a beautiful nose. And the whole patient was not done beautiful.

It can be seen that the nose is "done". I also write this aesthetic problem in the results of unsuccessful rhinoplasty. Because after plastic surgery, the patient should "wear" a natural nose, not a doll.Functional consequences of unsuccessful rhinoplasty

Difficult breathing. A similar problem is rarely found after, more often before surgery, but you still need to carefully monitor breathing.

Pain. I will not reveal this problem, everything is clear here.

Loss of odor. When you stop feeling smells as if you have sinusitis.

Computer modeling will help to avoid unsuccessful rhinoplasty?

Computer modeling is a marketing move. The patient is shown on the nose screen he wants to see. The patient then agrees to the surgery. But there is an unknown thousands of unknown plastic in the equation. How the skin behaves, what anatomy of cartilage tissues, how capillaries react to influence. All this is impossible to predict outside the operating table. You can guess, but you can't simulate your nose.What is the repair of the nose of the nose is considered normal?

I believe it is normal to remove the spells the next day and shoot a plaster langtte on the fifth day. With a certain makeup you can go out to work in 8-10 days. Read more about my methods and thirty years of experience in performing nasal rhinoplasty in other articles. When should you contact your doctor after unsuccessful rhinoplasty?

During the first two weeks, the doctor is better to say everything that happens incomprehensible. If you have pain, the seams are cured incorrectly - contact the surgeon that operates. But healing after the plastic of the nose is very long. Therefore, multiple surgery is possible not a year later. The tissues should take the desired shape, heal, and the patient should get used to the new nose.How can I repair unsuccessful rhinoplasty?

Understand that the plastic of the nose was unsuccessful, the patient may not later than six months later. During this time, the recovery period is held and the patient follows the doctor's recommendationsMethods for correction after plastic of the nose:

Repeated rhinoplasty can be performed with a plastic surgeon. It can be done both closed and open. But most often it is done by an open method. After all, the options of the doctor are limited if there is skin deficiency, cartilage, bone tissue.

It is possible to make a correction that goes for no more than half an hour. During the correction, the surgeon carefully derives the shape at the required level. Recovery after adjustment is very fast.

Correction with fillers or contour plastic. The procedure allows you to remove the hump, give the necessary angle, achieve symmetry, tighten the tip of the nose, get rid of minor defects. It has an aesthetic effect in time. From a month to two years the result will be heldAnd the patient himself can provoke an unsuccessful nasal rhinoplasty?
Yes, if he does not follow the recommendations of a specialist. Not many of them seem to be. And I do my best to make the restoration easy and convenient. But there is still a small list of recommendations.

Refuse the sport for two months. Because a new nose needs to "stick" its tissues in a calm mode.

Do not smoke two weeks before and two weeks after the plastic of the nose. Well, or at least reduce the number of smoked cigarettes by 50%. As the vessels are narrowed by cigarettes and the scars regeneration is much more slow.

Under the curtain of this article, I want to say that despite the horrible stories described above, they are not afraid. It is important to choose your surgeon, get confidence from it in the success of the plasticity of the nose and to safely prepare for a life with a new nose. But if you are afraid to tremble. If you have a cold sweat with one thought of rhinoplasty, consider whether it's too early to do it. Because the operation is the job of at least two team members. Both a surgeon and a patient.
