Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Correction)

Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective procedure designed to fix aesthetic or functional issues resulting from previous nose surgeries. It involves reshaping the nasal structure, often using the patient's own cartilage, to achieve a more natural and stable result.

Who it suits

Individuals unhappy with the aesthetic results of a previous rhinoplasty.
Patients experiencing functional issues like breathing difficulties or implant displacement.
Those with severe scarring, contracture, or visible implant outlines.

Technique highlights

Utilization of autologous cartilage (septum, ear, or rib) for structural stability.
3-Step reinforcement technique to ensure a secure and natural-looking nasal tip.
Customized material selection based on remaining skin elasticity and tissue health.

Surgical steps

Comprehensive consultation to identify the failure causes of previous surgeries.
Administration of anesthesia (IV sedation or general anesthesia).
Careful removal of previous implants, scar tissue, or damaged cartilage.
Reconstruction of the nasal bridge and tip using selected materials or autologous cartilage.
Suturing and applying a protective splint to support the new shape.

Recovery & aftercare

Initial swelling and bruising peak within the first 3 days.
Stitches are typically removed 7 days after the procedure.
Return to routine daily activities is usually possible after 1 week.
Avoid strenuous exercise and wearing heavy glasses for at least 4-6 weeks.

Risks & things to consider

Increased risk of tissue damage and scarring compared to the first surgery.
Possibility of prolonged swelling or delayed healing due to previous trauma.
Risk of infection or implant rejection, especially in cases with prior inflammation.
Limited skin elasticity may restrict how much the nose shape can be altered.
