What is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision Rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure performed when further correction is needed after an initial rhinoplasty. Typically, patients undergo this nose surgery 6 months to 1 year after the primary procedure to allow complete swelling reduction.
Why Consider Revision Rhinoplasty?
Patients may seek revision rhinoplasty for two primary reasons:
- Unachieved aesthetic goals (nose appearing too long, short, or asymmetrical)
- Functional improvements to address breathing difficulties
Additional Reasons for Revision Rhinoplasty
