Rhinoplasty
3D-CT planned rhinoplasty (revision surgery)
VIEW uses 3D-CT scanning to analyse nasal structure and plan surgery more precisely than a standard consultation, particularly for revision cases needing assessment of a deviated septum or prior implant material. It takes 1-2 hours under anaesthesia and lets the surgeon preview usable tissue before operating.
Who it suits
- Had rhinoplasty before but are unhappy with the result or have complications
- Complex nasal structure requiring detailed assessment of the septum or prior implant
- Want a surgical plan more precise than a standard consultation and history review
Technique highlights
- Nose shape and structure are analysed in 3D before the surgical plan is finalised
- Usable tissue, such as a deviated septal segment, can be assessed ahead of time for a more accurate result
- Especially suited to revision cases where a standard consultation alone is not enough information
- Surgery takes 1-2 hours with no hospital admission needed
Surgical steps
- A 3D-CT scan analyses the nasal structure and septum in detail.
- Surgery is planned from the 3D model, including assessing prior implant material for revision cases.
- Under anaesthesia, surgery proceeds according to the planned design — 1-2 hours.
- Internal nasal sutures are removed once the wound has settled.
Recovery & aftercare
- Sutures are removed at about 7 days after surgery.
- Makeup or cream near the nose can resume only after sutures are removed.
- Two follow-up visits are scheduled after surgery.
- No hospital admission is needed; avoid impact to the nose area in the early weeks.
Risks & things to consider
- Results depend on existing tissue condition and individual nasal complexity, so identical outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
- Revision surgery carries more risk than a first-time rhinoplasty, so an experienced revision specialist matters.
- Additional graft material such as rib cartilage may be needed if existing material is insufficient.
- Risks include bleeding, infection or asymmetric shape after surgery.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 3D-CT scan help with?
It analyses nasal shape and structure in 3D, information a standard consultation cannot confirm, and lets the surgeon assess usable tissue such as a deviated septal segment for a better outcome.
Will this leave a visible scar?
The incision sits inside the nostril, a small inconspicuous area; it may be red for about a month and fades markedly after 2-3 months.
When can a second surgery be done after a previous rhinoplasty?
It is generally best to wait until existing tissue and structure have fully healed; the right timing varies by individual, so consult a revision specialist directly.
