Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty BEVERLY HILLS / LOS ANGELES

What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is a procedure performed to correct aesthetic and functional issues which exist after undergoing a previous nose surgery. The procedure is very complicated due to the presence of scar tissue and the removal of cartilage associated with the first procedure.

There are a variety of reasons a revision rhinoplasty might be necessary. Some of the most common include:

• Nose asymmetry
• Pinched tip
• Crooked, off-center, or irregular bridge
• Scooped out appearance to bridge
• Pointy or uneven tip
• Pulled up nostrils
• “Inverted-V” deformity, caused when too much of the middle third cartilage is removed
• Wide nostrils
• Pollybeak deformity caused by a bump on the bridge
• Poorly defined tip
• Functional issues which affect breathing, most commonly caused by a deviated septum, excessive scar tissue, or nasal valve collapse

Results may vary and are not guaranteed.

If you are unhappy with the result of a previous rhinoplasty procedure, then you may want to consider revision rhinoplasty to restore balance to your facial features and improve any functional issues associated with breathing. Revision rhinoplasty is a highly specialized procedure that is often much more difficult than the initial nose surgery. It is important to work with a plastic surgeon who has extensive experience performing this procedure.
