Having an aesthetically pleasing appearance is important for both women and men. As is well known, facial features make up a significant part of the concept of beauty. Similarly, the appearance of the nose also greatly affects facial beauty. That is why hundreds of thousands of people who are unhappy with their nose structure when they look in the mirror, and who want to change this, wish to have rhinoplasty. However, due to mistaken choices, there is a risk that a failed rhinoplasty may occur. So what can failed rhinoplasty lead to? As TAS Aesthetic Surgery Center, in this week's blog post we will cover the topic of failed rhinoplasty. Throughout the article, we will answer questions such as "how does failed rhinoplasty happen?", "how is failed rhinoplasty recognized?" and "what can incorrect rhinoplasty lead to?". We hope this will be a useful article for those who want information about failed rhinoplasty surgeries, and we wish you pleasant reading.

Why Does Rhinoplasty Fail?

Before moving on to what failed rhinoplasty can lead to, we can look at the causes of failed rhinoplasty surgeries. We can list the main reasons why rhinoplasty fails as follows:

1. Choosing the Wrong Aesthetic Surgeon

One of the main causes of failed rhinoplasty is choosing the wrong rhinoplasty surgeon. Choosing the wrong rhinoplasty surgeon will result in an outcome that falls short of what was desired. That is why you should be careful when choosing your surgeon and turn to those who are sufficiently specialized in their field.

2. Not Following the Surgeon's Advice

Both before and after the surgery, your surgeon will give you a set of rules that you need to follow. Strictly following these rules will affect whether the rhinoplasty operation gives a successful result. Therefore, not correctly applying what your surgeon tells you will increase the likelihood of a negative outcome.

Things to Consider Before and After Rhinoplasty Surgery

3. Suffering an Impact to the Nose After Rhinoplasty

You need to take good care of yourself for a certain period after rhinoplasty. You should take extra care not to suffer any impact to your face. Indeed, especially in the first months, an impact to the nose can damage the nasal structure while it is still settling.

4. Having an Excessively Thick-Skinned Nose Structure

Having an excessively thick-skinned nose structure is one of the factors that makes rhinoplasty more difficult. The external reflection of the surgical intervention performed is more difficult to achieve in people with a thick-skinned nose structure. Therefore, people with a thick-skinned nose structure should be extra careful when choosing their surgeon.

5. Having a Rhinoplasty That Doesn't Suit the Face

One of the important criteria for a successful rhinoplasty is that the resulting nose suits the face. Indeed, every face is unique, and every rhinoplasty should be performed according to the patient's facial structure. Think of celebrities whose nose structure you admire. Having the same nose structure applied to you does not mean it will give a successful result. Capturing the golden ratio is important at this point.

How Is Failed Rhinoplasty Recognized?

After listing the causes of failed rhinoplasty, we can also give information about how a failed rhinoplasty can be recognized. We can list the main signs of incorrect rhinoplasty as follows:

  • Any functional disorders in the nose, if present, continuing, along with the related breathing problems

  • The nose structure appearing crooked or deviated

  • The nostrils being excessively narrow or wide after the surgery

  • Drooping occurring at the tip of the nose

  • It takes about 1 year for the nose structure to settle after surgery. If, at the end of this period, the nose does not look the way it was envisioned — either functionally or aesthetically — and this makes the patient unhappy, it is a sign of failed rhinoplasty.

Consequences of Incorrectly Performed Rhinoplasty

As a result of failed rhinoplasty, in addition to the aesthetic appearance not improving, varying degrees of unhappiness and a depressive mood can also occur in the patient. If the change in the nose structure is not to the desired extent, the person has difficulty getting used to the new nose structure and also falls into a bad mood. In some failed rhinoplasty surgeries performed purely for aesthetic concerns, the functionality of the nose can also be impaired. As a result, conditions such as snoring and difficulty breathing comfortably through the nose can occur. One of the important problems faced by those whose rhinoplasty has failed is financial. Indeed, every failed rhinoplasty creates the need for revision rhinoplasty. Revision rhinoplasty also means additional cost. In addition, for those who will undergo a second rhinoplasty, the surgery tends to be more difficult compared to those undergoing rhinoplasty for the first time. Therefore, those who want to have rhinoplasty should be well aware of the causes of failed rhinoplasty and take action accordingly.

Solution for Those With Failed Rhinoplasty

Don't be upset about failed rhinoplasty anymore! With the right precautions and the right steps, it is possible to get out of this negative situation you find yourself in. As we mentioned earlier, surgery for those undergoing a second rhinoplasty tends to be more difficult compared to those undergoing surgery for the first time. Therefore, those who have had a failed rhinoplasty experience should continue the process with a surgeon who has proven themselves in revision rhinoplasty. With the right choice, it is possible for you to achieve the nose structure you want.
