Advanced Revision Rhinoplasty in Denver, CO | Thompson Facial Plastics

Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty

Patients seek revision rhinoplasty for multiple reasons, including dissatisfaction with previous cosmetic results or persistent breathing difficulties. This specialized surgical procedure offers a precise solution for individuals wanting to refine or correct their nasal appearance and functionality.

What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty, or secondary rhinoplasty, is a complex surgical procedure performed on patients who have previously undergone a rhinoplasty but are not satisfied with the initial results. This technique requires exceptional surgical skill and extensive experience in nasal reconstruction.

Ideal Candidates for Revision Rhinoplasty

The most suitable candidates for revision rhinoplasty typically include:

• Patients unsatisfied with previous rhinoplasty outcomes
• Individuals who have experienced nasal trauma
• Patients in good overall health
• Non-smokers without underlying medical complications

Consultation and Personalized Treatment

During the initial consultation, Dr. Thompson will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, assessing medical history, examining nasal structure, and discussing individual goals. He will recommend the most appropriate surgical approach, whether open or closed, tailored to the patient's specific needs.

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Thompson carefully makes incisions either inside the nostrils or externally, depending on the required corrections. The procedure may involve removing excess tissue, adding grafts, or reshaping existing nasal structures to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional results.

Recovery and Expectations

Revision rhinoplasty recovery varies by individual but generally involves initial swelling and bruising. Patients can expect to wear a protective splint and must follow post-operative instructions meticulously to ensure proper healing.

Potential Recovery Considerations

• Initial swelling and bruising for several days
• Potential splint or cast for 1-2 weeks
• Gradual return to normal activities within weeks
• Complete healing may take several months
