Revision Rhinoplasty: Correcting and Refining Previous Results

Revision rhinoplasty is performed to correct issues that remain after a previous nose surgery. Patients may seek revision if they experience breathing difficulties, aesthetic concerns, or structural instability following their first procedure. Revision rhinoplasty is often more complex than primary surgery because the tissues have already been altered, and structural support may be reduced.

Reasons Patients Seek Revision

Common concerns include:

  • Breathing obstruction after surgery
  • Collapse of the nasal tip or bridge
  • Over-reduction or asymmetry
  • Results that do not match expectations
  • Visible irregularities such as bumps or pinching

Some issues appear early in healing, while others develop gradually as scar tissue forms.

A Detailed and Careful Evaluation

Dr. Dolev conducts a thorough examination to understand both functional and aesthetic challenges. Imaging and prior surgical history guide planning. Revision may involve cartilage grafting to rebuild support or adjust nasal shape where tissue has been weakened.

Restoring Structure and Balance

Structural support is essential to both appearance and breathing. If the septal cartilage has already been used, grafts may be taken from the ear or rib. These materials allow precise reconstruction of areas that require reinforcement.

Personalized and Realistic Planning

Revision rhinoplasty requires patience, communication, and clear goal setting. Dr. Dolev works closely with patients to ensure expectations are achievable and aligned with their facial anatomy. The goal is a nose that appears natural, stable, and in harmony with the rest of the face.

Recovery

Healing after revision rhinoplasty may take slightly longer than initial surgery, but patients typically resume normal activities within a similar timeframe. Final refinement unfolds gradually as swelling resolves.

Revision rhinoplasty offers an opportunity to restore confidence and comfort with an improved outcome, supported by structural stability and careful planning.
