Revision Rhinoplasty in Toronto
As one of the more difficult facial cosmetic surgery procedures and one of the most popular with Canadians, revision rhinoplasty Toronto is a complex process that, in the hands of an inexperienced surgeon, can oftentimes leave a patient with subpar results.
If you have gone to a surgeon to have a rhinoplasty performed and are unhappy with the results, a ‘revision rhinoplasty’ also sometimes referred to as a ‘secondary rhinoplasty’ is recommended. Many patients have come to us seeking a revision rhinoplasty Toronto, hoping to correct problems that have either developed or that have continued since their first surgery. If you fit this description, revision rhinoplasty Toronto is a procedure that is recommended for consideration.
Having a revision rhinoplasty Toronto procedure can be a daunting task for many patients, sometimes frightened that even with a second procedure that they will not be able to attain the results promised. This makes it all the more important to seek out a revision rhinoplasty expert surgeon who is not only skilled but someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. Through the initial consultation stages to the procedure and post-procedure process, Dr. Solomon, the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Toronto, demonstrates the ability to communicate clearly with his patients, listening to their needs, and putting them at ease while delivering real solutions.
At times, the problems in need of correction are minor. At other times, they are more prominent. No matter what the issue is, a revision rhinoplasty is always more difficult to perform as a surgeon will be working with less materials. This is due to fact that the original anatomy may no longer be intact and scar tissue now fills the tissue planes that were present before the first rhinoplasty surgery.

Revision rhinoplasty Toronto can be necessary in cases where the original surgery was unable to achieve the ideal results.
Problems with primary surgery can be a result of poor planning, inadequate communication between the surgeon and patient, or technical issues with the surgery or healing. Some problems that can occur from primary rhinoplasty surgery include polybeak deformity, pinched nasal tip, retracted nostrils, hanging collumella, inverted V deformity, or open roof deformity. Any number of these issues can affect the appearance of the nose as well as a person’s ability to breathe. Polybeak deformity refers to a deformity resulting from rhinoplasty surgery where the bridge of the nose becomes shaped like a bird’s beak. Typically, this results if too much nasal bone is removed and/or not enough cartilage on the bridge is removed. This deformity can also result in patients with thick nasal skin where the area above the tip develops fullness. Polybeak deformity can generally be improved by removing more scar tissue or cartilage from the supratip region of the nose, adding tissue to over resected nasal bones, and improving nasal tip projection. Each revision rhinoplasty case must be assessed individually. Pinched nasal tip refers to an unnaturally narrow nasal tip after rhinoplasty surgery. Pinched nasal tip can be result from over resection of the cartilages that make up the nasal tip. This weakens the side walls of the nose and over time the tip can become pinched. The nasal tip can also become pinched if the surgeon over narrows the cartilage with sutures or with incision into the nasal tip cartilage called dome division technique. Pinched nasal tip can be improved by revision rhinoplasty by reconstructing the cartilages of the nasal tip with grafts either from the nasal septum, ear cartilage or rib cartilage. Hanging collumella or retracted nostrils refers to the relationship between the middle portion of the nasal tip and the nostrils. Some patients develop this problem after rhinoplasty surgery. This can be corrected with revision rhinoplasty surgery by adding cartilage to the nostrils called alar rim grafting or by removing more tissue from the central collumella region. Inverted V deformity can occur following rhinoplasty surgery. This problem can occur from rhinoplasty surgery where over time the cartilage in the middle portion of the nasal bridge moves inwards relative to the nasal bones. This gives an upside down V shape to the nose from front on view. Revision rhinoplasty Surgery can improve this problem by placing grafts of cartilage along the nasal bridge called spreader grafts. This type of surgery generally is done by open rhinoplasty technique. Open roof deformity can occur when the primary surgery did not adequately narrow the nasal bones. Revision rhinoplasty surgery can improve this by perfoming osteotomies and narrowing the nasal bones optimally. This generally can be done by closed revision rhinoplasty surgery.IS A REVISION RHINOPLASTY RIGHT FOR ME?
