What is a nosejob, nose job, rhinoplasty anyway ?

Friday, May 27th, 2011

what some people refer to as a nosejob or nose job is more correctly called a rhinoplasty.

A rhinoplasty is to change the underlying structure and therefore the shape and function of the nose.

A rhinoplasty in sydney is performed by a surgeon who is qualified to perform rhinoplasty procedures, this is usually an ear, nose and throat surgeon with appropriate facial plastic training or a plastic surgeon with a particular interest in rhinoplasty.  The cost of rhinoplasty  in Sydney depends on the complexity of the nasal procedure and whether it is a complete reconstructive rhinoplasty, revision or secondary rhinoplasty or primary rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty may be cosmetic or functional.

Rhinoplasty is also called nasal reshaping, nasal sculpting or nasal cosmetic surgery

Revision Rhinoplasty in Sydney

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Revision rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult facial reconstructive procedures. Often a secondary, tertiary or quaternary rhinoplasty has already been performed leaving the nasal cartilaginous framework ravaged and the skin overlying it scarred and abnormal.

This is one reason to get your rhinoplasty performed in Sydney by a well qualified rhinoplasty expert. This is either an ENT trained Facial Plastic Surgeon such as Dr Pincock or a Plastic surgeon who specialises in the face.

If you have already had a primary rhinoplasty and are unhappy with the results its always best to discuss this with your original surgeon first. You should not be embarrassed or reluctant to bring up certain issues with your rhinoplasty. The best rhinoplasty surgeon in the world has revision rhinoplasty patients and it is therefore not a reflection on your surgeon if you have an issue BUT how he deals with it.

If you are unhappy with seeing your primary surgeon again or have lost rapport, then seeing another surgeon may be necessary.

Remember although choosing your surgeon wisely for a first time rhinoplasty is important it is imperative that you do your research before seeing someone for a secondary rhinoplasty.

Your secondary rhinoplasty surgeon should not be contradictory to your original surgeon or make disparaging comments about your original surgery. It is impossible for the second surgeon to have an understanding of all the factors that led to the issue or have a complete understanding of the conditions of the original surgery.

Revision surgery may simply involve taking down a dorsal hump down a little further or filing down some unevenness from the osteotomies OR it may require a full reconstructive rhinoplasty requiring ear cartilage grafts, rib or even artificial material.

Remember that the nose is not just for looking good so at any stage of rhinoplasty, maintenance of a good nasal airway should be a primary goal for all rhinoplasty surgeons. If you get a blocked nose from a rhinoplasty it will drive you crazy!!!, luckily nasal obstruction following rhinoplasty or “post rhinoplasty nasal obstruction” is relatively easy for an Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon to correct.
