A revision septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct issues that persist or arise after an initial septoplasty, which is the surgery to straighten a deviated septum. This follow-up surgery is essential for patients who continue to experience breathing difficulties, nasal obstruction, or other issues related to their nasal anatomy after the first procedure.
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Pearlman is one of the best nose job surgeons in NYC—specializing in septoplasties and deviated septum surgery in New Jersey and the tri-state area. Dr. Pearlman understands the complexities involved in revision surgery, especially when dealing with altered anatomy and scar tissue. He takes a personalized approach, thoroughly evaluating each patient’s unique situation during the consultation process.
When a Revision Septoplasty Is Necessary:
Patients might seek revision septoplasty for various reasons, such as:
- Continued breathing difficulties
- Changes in nasal shape or structure
- Scar tissue formation
Because the nose takes a long time to fully heal, in most cases, you’ll usually need to wait at least a year after your previous surgery before seeking a revision septoplasty. In NYC and the tri-state area, Dr. Pearlman advises his patients to wait until they have fully healed from their previous surgery before pursuing a revision.
The procedure is often more complex than the initial septoplasty, as it may involve navigating scar tissue and previous surgical alterations.
Revision septoplasty is a critical option for individuals seeking to rectify challenges after an initial procedure. With skilled surgeons like Dr. Pearlman, patients can feel confident in their decision to pursue this important step toward better nasal health and aesthetics.
