Revision rhinoplasty overview


What is revision rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is performed when initial nasal surgery requires correction. Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly requested surgical procedures. The surgery has virtually no age restrictions. This procedure is designed to address aesthetic and functional defects in the nasal region.


Unfortunately, many nasal surgeries performed today end in failure. For this reason, patients seek secondary rhinoplasty.



Indications for secondary rhinoplasty

Patient dissatisfaction with surgical results;

Complications (nasal septum perforation, asymmetry, impaired breathing, collapse of nasal dorsum, etc.).

Contraindications

Contraindications for nasal revision do not differ from those for initial rhinoplasty:


  • Acute infectious and inflammatory diseases;
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus;
  • Blood clotting disorders;
  • Oncological diseases;
  • Pregnancy, lactation.

Cost of secondary rhinoplasty

Not every plastic surgeon undertakes this procedure. When a surgeon agrees, he bears full responsibility for the outcome despite the initial result's complexity. This surgical correction demands extensive experience and professional skill. For this reason, many physicians decline to perform the operation.

Revision rhinoplasty is no longer merely an aesthetic procedure but rather a reconstructive operation. Therefore, its cost may exceed that of standard rhinoplasty.



Recovery period

Recovery after nasal revision follows the same guidelines as after initial rhinoplasty. Sometimes recovery after the second procedure is longer and more difficult.
