Why Are There So Many Botched Nose Jobs?

July 13, 2009 - PRLog -- Patients frequently wonder, "Why did my nose look okay at first, but after a year or even 2 years later, is now collapsed, pinched or what has now become known as "skeletonized" and artificial looking." Unfortunately, this problem is not rare according to Botox for migraines pioneer and experienced rhinoplasty specialist Dr. William Binder. It is estimated that between 5 – 15% of patients who undergo rhinoplasty will need revision surgery, some needing minor and others more major procedures. Although not every surgeon can guarantee perfect results every time, additional procedures after a primary or secondary revision surgery should be no more than a "minor adjustment" that, in most instances, can be performed under a local anesthetic. However, only in the most complex cases, a secondary or two-stage procedure is not uncommon.

Many rhinoplasty studies attribute an overabundance of surgeons with limited experience or limited training in rhinoplasty to the alarming percentage of botched nose-jobs that are neither functionally efficient nor aesthetically satisfactory. The end-products of less-than-masterful rhinoplasties include cases where the tip of the nose appears snubbed or "cut off", or what we refer to as lacking tip projection. Surgeons often attempt to solve this problem and lengthen the short or "bobbed" nose with the use of only a tip graft procedure. This is commonly performed in the open rhinoplasty approach. However, this technique, by itself, yields results which often look and feel equally unnatural. Dr. Binder’s unique methods include grafting procedures to reinforce the natural cartilages which will actually form the shape of the nasal tip. This is a major difference in conceptual thinking between the two Beverly Hills rhinoplasty techniques.

Form Follows Function
The definition of revision rhinoplasty embraces the concept of "reinforcing noses" that have been structurally weakened by previous surgeries, or require further aesthetic correction. The best rhinoplasty surgeon demonstrates a clear understanding of the functional or breathing problems that are often simultaneously associated with these demanding revision cases.  This is where Dr. Binder’s training in both specialties of Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery becomes so important in understanding and being able to diagnose and correct the problems contributing to the functional breathing problems associated with many of the revision surgical cases.

The goal is to restore to normal aim to restore to normal the anatomical components of the nose using the patient’s own cartilage either obtained from the septum or ear. In extreme cases where there is no available septal or ear cartilage, rib cartilage may then be used as an alternative. Patients are strongly encouraged to give careful consideration to these important factors when choosing the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Beverly Hills for their procedure.
