Rhinoplasty is among the most complex of all facial surgeries, and if performed incorrectly, can result in an unsatisfactory result, whether in appearance, breathing function, or both.

Reasons to undergo rhinoplasty revision surgery

Patients who have problems after nose surgery are usually extremely disappointed, even devastated. Rhinoplasty, to be successful, requires the most advanced surgical techniques, ensuring the changes to the nose are correctly supported, and that the changes in size and shape match the patient’s vision or expectations. The reasons patients come to OG Aesthetics for a revision rhinoplasty include:

Nose still too large
Nose too small
Nose is uneven or asymmetrical
Nose bridge collapsed
Synthetic nose implant is visible
Too much bone or cartilage was removed in surgery
Nose tip is upturned
The nostrils are too large or arched in appearance
Pinched nose tip
Breathing function is compromised
Collapsed nose bridge
Columella (strip of tissue between nostrils) looks abnormal
Nose looks pointed

What occurs during a revision rhinoplasty?

Every revision of rhinoplasty is different. The problems left from a primary surgery vary widely from patient to patient. Generally, you can expect the surgery to be similar to what you experienced in the initial surgery. In some very extensive revision cases, the surgery may require harvesting and transferring natural cartilage from the ribs to rebuild the nose structure if the surgeon removed too much, or failed to create enough support for the nose, causing it to become misshapen, upturned, or the bridge to collapse and appear concave.

Recovery from revision rhinoplasty – what to expect

The recovery from revision rhinoplasty will require several weeks before you are ready to reveal your newly reshaped, corrected nose. You can expect to take a week to ten days off work. The revision required may have been far more complex than the primary surgery, and the recovery time would be longer, based on the extent of what must be done to correct the problems. If cartilage needed to be harvested and transferred to support the nose or rebuild areas from which too much natural structure was removed, the area where the cartilage was removed must also heal.

Functional problems after a primary rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty may have achieved the look you envisioned but has impacted your ability to breathe freely. If you notice that your breathing has been affected, in one or both nostrils, you may need the inner structure of the nose repaired. During the surgery, the nasal valves may have been pinched or the surgeon altered the angle. This problem can be repaired with a custom revision rhinoplasty. Some patients have regular nosebleeds, which may be the result of a surgical error called a “septal perforation.”
