Reconstructive Rhinoplasty
Reconstructive rhinoplasty is a procedure to correct both functional and cosmetic problems with the nose
These issues may have been caused through congenital malformations, injuries, illnesses such as cancer, or even previous surgery which went awry.
These conditions can leave patients with a physical reminder, a functional issue which causes difficulties breathing, or both. Not only can this be distressing to the patient, but it can also cause physical problems. Through this type of nose surgery it is possible for patients to move on from these problems and live life to the fullest.
Why undergo reconstructive nose surgery?
Reconstructive rhinoplasty can address a number of cosmetic and functional issues including, but not limited to:
- Septum deviation
- Nasal fracture
- Chronic sinus issues
- Unsatisfactory results from a previous rhinoplasty
- Disease including cancer of the nose
- Paranasal sinuses and birth defects
Reconstructive rhinoplasty after cancer
Cancer of the nose can result in patients losing skin, cartilage, soft tissue, bone or a combination of the above. Through reconstructive nose surgery it is possible to rebuild this lost tissue through a variety of approaches, including using a composite graft, or a localised tissue flap. The approach to your surgery is completely dependent on your unique circumstances.
