Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty in Burbank, Los Angeles

Sometimes, initial nose surgery may not achieve the desired functional or aesthetic results. Less experienced surgeons can compromise breathing capabilities or create unexpected scarring that alters nasal contours. Revision rhinoplasty provides a sophisticated solution for patients seeking corrective nose surgery.

Common Reasons for Revision Rhinoplasty

• Compromised nasal breathing
• Unexpected scarring
• Irregular nasal tip
• Botched implants
• Excessively thinned nasal bridges

Why Choose Dr. Hershcovitch for Revision Rhinoplasty

As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Hershcovitch specializes in advanced revision rhinoplasty techniques. He focuses on not just correcting previous surgical issues, but creating a natural, balanced nasal appearance that harmonizes with the patient's facial structure.

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Hershcovitch utilizes two primary approaches for revision rhinoplasty: external and endonasal. The external approach, involving a small columellar incision, provides maximum visibility and access to nasal structures, making it ideal for complex revisions.

Revision Rhinoplasty Candidacy

Ideal candidates for revision rhinoplasty include patients who:

• Have waited at least one year after initial surgery
• Are in good overall health
• Have specific functional or aesthetic concerns

Procedure Details

Revision rhinoplasty typically takes 2-3 hours under general anesthesia. Patients can return home the same day with comprehensive post-operative instructions designed to support optimal healing.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients should expect minor swelling, bruising, and congestion during initial recovery. While most visible signs of surgery resolve within weeks, complete healing can take up to a year. Dr. Hershcovitch provides personalized follow-up care to ensure patient comfort and successful outcomes.

Important Recovery Guidelines

• Avoid getting nasal cast wet
• No glasses on nose bridge for one month
• Refrain from nose blowing for two weeks
