Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty corrects problems from a previous nose surgery. Whether addressing breathing issues, asymmetry, collapsed structures, or unsatisfactory appearance, this complex procedure requires surgeons with extensive experience in secondary nasal surgery and reconstructive techniques.

What to Know Before You Go
💡 Pro Tip: Wait 12-18 months after your primary rhinoplasty before seeking revision. This allows all swelling to resolve and tissues to stabilize, giving you—and your surgeon—an accurate picture of what needs correction.
⚠️ Insider Note: Revision rhinoplasty is significantly more challenging than primary surgery. Choose a surgeon who specializes in revision cases and review their specific revision results carefully—not just their primary rhinoplasty outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my first rhinoplasty fail?
Various reasons: surgeon inexperience with complex noses, healing complications (scarring, cartilage warping), unrealistic expectations, or inadequate surgical technique for your specific anatomy.
Is revision surgery more complex?
Yes—significantly. Scar tissue, altered anatomy, limited cartilage availability, and distorted structures from previous surgery make revision more challenging and require specialized expertise.
How many revisions can I have?
Usually 1-2 revisions are feasible. Each surgery adds scar tissue and further limits remaining cartilage, making subsequent revisions increasingly difficult and results less predictable.
Will revision surgery hurt more?
Pain levels are similar to primary surgery. Adequate pain management with prescribed medications ensures comfort. Rib graft harvest adds some chest discomfort.
Can cartilage grafting help?
Often essential for revision—surgeons use ear, septal, or rib cartilage to reconstruct, support, and reshape nasal structures when original cartilage is insufficient or damaged.
How long should I wait between surgeries?
Minimum 12 months, ideally 18+ months. This allows all swelling to resolve and tissues to heal completely, giving accurate assessment of what truly needs correction.
What if I need rib cartilage?
Rib grafts provide strong, abundant cartilage for complex revisions—ideal when septal and ear cartilage are exhausted. Adds a small chest incision and slight additional recovery time.
Will my breathing improve too?
Yes—many revision rhinoplasties address both aesthetics and function simultaneously. Collapsed internal valves, deviated septum, and obstructed airways can all be corrected during revision.
