Revision Rhinoplasty Saratoga, CA | Jacqueline Cheng, MD

Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty

When initial rhinoplasty results don't meet expectations, revision rhinoplasty offers a precise solution to restore nasal balance, symmetry, and function. This complex procedure addresses aesthetic and structural concerns from previous surgeries.

What Makes Revision Rhinoplasty Different?

Unlike primary rhinoplasty, revision procedures require exceptional surgical skill due to existing scar tissue and altered nasal anatomy. Surgeons must carefully navigate these challenges to achieve optimal results.

Reasons for Revision Rhinoplasty

• Asymmetrical nasal appearance
• Breathing difficulties
• Overcorrection or undercorrection of nasal structure
• Undesirable cosmetic outcomes
• Structural imbalances

Surgical Techniques

Cheng Plastic Surgery offers two primary revision rhinoplasty approaches:

• Open technique: Incision across the columella for maximum surgical access
• Closed technique: Incisions within the nostrils for minimal external scarring

Candidate Considerations for Revision Rhinoplasty

Ideal candidates for revision rhinoplasty include patients who:

• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations
• Have waited at least one year after initial surgery
• Experience persistent nasal concerns

Recovery and Expectations

Revision rhinoplasty recovery mirrors primary rhinoplasty, with potential for increased complexity. Patients can expect temporary swelling, bruising, and the need for careful post-operative care.
