Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty, is a corrective nasal surgery performed to address unsatisfactory results from a previous nose job. This procedure helps patients who experience aesthetic concerns, functional problems, or complications after their initial rhinoplasty.

Why Do Patients Seek Revision Rhinoplasty?

Common reasons include:

  • Aesthetic Issues: Asymmetry, unnatural contours, or an undesired nose shape
  • Functional Problems: Persistent breathing difficulties or nasal obstruction
  • Structural Complications: Collapsed bridges, pinched tips, or over-resected cartilage

How is Revision Rhinoplasty Performed?

The surgery involves:

  • Restructuring nasal anatomy (bone, cartilage, and soft tissue)
  • Using advanced grafting techniques to rebuild weakened areas
  • Addressing scar tissue from prior surgeries
    Due to altered nasal structures, revision procedures are often more complex than primary rhinoplasty.

Recovery Process

  • Initial swelling and bruising fade within 2–3 weeks
  • Final results emerge gradually over 6–12 months
  • Patients should follow post-operative care instructions carefully

Expected Outcomes

A successful revision rhinoplasty provides:
✔ Improved nasal appearance (natural-looking results)
✔ Better breathing function
✔ Balanced facial harmony
