Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty

Private's revision rhinoplasty begins with an assessment of height, length, the nasolabial angle and any contracture. Surgery takes 90–120 minutes, stitches come out at day 7 and recovery takes 5–7 days.

Frequently asked questions

Does revision always need rib cartilage?

Not always. Septal or ear cartilage is used first; autologous or donor rib cartilage is added only when there is not enough cartilage or not enough structural support.
