Aesthetic rhinoplasty touch-up, which does not constitute a new nose surgery, is the procedure for correcting minor imperfections that may arise after the initial operation.
Aesthetic rhinoplasty touch-up procedures are minor interventions that allow for the quick and effortless correction of small imperfections caused by tissue healing and cartilage structure. Procedures such as cartilage addition to the direct part of the nose or micro fat injection are defined as nose touch-ups.
How Long Does a Nose Touch-Up Take? What Type of Anesthesia is Applied?
Aesthetic rhinoplasty touch-ups, such as micro fat injections to correct small depressions, typically take about 10-15 minutes and do not require the patient to be put to sleep; the touch-up procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Since only minor touch-ups are performed and local anesthesia is used, this procedure cannot be classified as a secondary nose surgery.
How Soon Can a Touch-Up Be Performed If Needed After Surgery?
For an aesthetic rhinoplasty touch-up to be performed, the nose must be fully healed, which means the patient must wait at least one year after the surgery. If a touch-up is needed, waiting 12 months after the initial surgery would be the most appropriate choice.
