REVISION RHINOPLASTY BEFORE & AFTERS
ABOUT REVISION RHINOPLASTY
If you’re dissatisfied with your rhinoplasty results or facing issues like compromised nasal breathing, you may find a revision rhinoplasty necessary. Whether the initial procedure didn’t meet your expectations or has led to functional or aesthetic concerns, revision rhinoplasty offers a tailored solution to refine and enhance your nasal appearance and function.
Traditional rhinoplasty, or primary rhinoplasty, aims to correct structural and aesthetic issues. The surgery involves making incisions inside or outside the nose and reshaping the nasal bones, nasal septum, and cartilage to achieve the desired result.
Revision rhinoplasty, as the name suggests, is a secondary surgery that corrects or improves the results of a previous nose surgery. The procedure is more complex than traditional rhinoplasty and requires advanced surgical techniques to address scarring, asymmetry, or other complications from the initial surgery.
In terms of outcome, revision surgery can be more challenging to predict and achieve the desired results compared to traditional rhinoplasty. However, working with a qualified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in revision rhinoplasty, such as an ethnic rhinoplasty specialist, can help ensure a successful outcome.
REVISION RHINOPLASTY TECHNIQUE
Revision rhinoplasty is a highly specialized procedure tailored to each patient’s unique needs and circumstances. Many factors such as facial proportions, concerns with the original rhinoplasty, and the health of your nasal structure influence the techniques used in revision rhinoplasty patients.
Because the nose has already been altered from previous cosmetic surgeries, revision rhinoplasty surgery septal cartilage is often deficient for grafting. In this case, cartilage grafts may be required from other areas of the body. Ear or rib cartilage may be harvested to reinforce the structure of your nose. This additional grafting material is crucial for addressing a crooked nose, poor nasal breathing, dorsal nasal hump, lopsided nose, or any other nasal deformities resulting from the initial surgery.
Dr. Mark Anton is a true rhinoplasty expert and will recommend the best course of treatment for your corrective rhinoplasty.

Revision rhinoplasty offers several benefits for patients seeking further refinement or correction following a previous nose surgery. This procedure is tailored to address specific concerns that may persist or arise after initial rhinoplasty, ensuring optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.

CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
The journey to revision rhinoplasty begins with a consultation with your facial plastic surgeon specializing in this delicate procedure. Your individual anatomy, surgical history, concerns, and desired outcomes will be discussed.
The consultation is an opportunity for you to ask questions, understand the potential risks and benefits, and ensure that your goals align with what the procedure can realistically achieve. Additional imaging and evaluations will be used to better understand your nasal structure and plan the surgery effectively.
Your surgeon will provide detailed pre-operative instructions, which may include guidelines on medications to avoid, dietary recommendations, and steps to take to minimize swelling and bruising. It’s essential to follow these instructions closely to reduce the risk of complications and enhance the healing process.
Revision rhinoplasty can be more complex than primary rhinoplasty due to the presence of scar tissue and the need for precise corrections. The surgeon will use advanced techniques to address both aesthetic and functional issues, which may involve reshaping the dorsum, refining the nasal tip, and correcting structural problems to improve breathing.
The approach – whether open or closed rhinoplasty – will depend on the specific corrections needed and the surgeon’s preferred method. Throughout the procedure, the surgeon’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail will be critical in achieving a harmonious and natural-looking result that enhances your overall facial balance.
REVISION RHINOPLASTY RECOVERY
After revision rhinoplasty, Newport Beach patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort around the nose and eyes. Pain medication, ice packs, and head elevation can reduce swelling and promote healing.
Directly after surgery, you’ll be closely monitored in the recovery room as the effects of anesthesia wear off. Most patients wake from surgery feeling groggy and fatigued and simply want to sleep. Bruising and swelling around the eye and nasal areas with a small amount of bleeding and stuffiness in the nose are to be expected. In most cases, an internal nasal pack is left in place for up to 7 days to stabilize the surgical changes along with a drip pad.
An exterior splint may also be placed across the bridge of the nose for up to 14 days post-surgery. In the case of open rhinoplasty, you will have stitches at the base of the nose that will be removed in around 5 to 7 days’ time frame.
POST-PROCEDURE
Your surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions to manage these symptoms, including prescribed medications to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. It’s crucial to keep your head elevated and apply cold compresses to minimize swelling and bruising. You will also have nasal splints or packing to support the newly shaped structures, which will be removed during a follow-up visit.
The first few weeks of recovery are critical for ensuring optimal healing and achieving the best possible results. During this period, you’ll need to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and any movements that could put pressure on your nose. Most patients can return to work and light activities within two weeks, but this can vary depending on the complexity of the revision and your individual healing process.
Due to the complexity of the surgery, patients may find their recovery from revision rhinoplasty is longer than their previous surgery, varying by patient.
For the first two weeks, all patients are instructed to abstain from any activity that raises heart rate or blood pressure:
- Exercise
- Sex
- Bending
- Heavy Lifting
- Straining
- Stress & Anxiety
- Drinking Alcohol
- Smoking
Overall, most of the bruising and swelling will subside in about two weeks. Residual minimal swelling can take up to 6 months. You will be advised during your post-operative appointments about these restrictions. The healing process varies from patient to patient and is decided on an individual basis.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Immediately after revision rhinoplasty, you will notice some changes in the shape and structure of your nose. However, these initial changes will be obscured by significant swelling and bruising, which are common side effects of the procedure. Swelling may be substantial, and bruising around the eyes is also typical. Despite these immediate post-operative effects, many patients begin to see an improvement in their nasal shape shortly after the surgery.
FINAL RESULTS
The final results will become more apparent over time as the swelling gradually subsides. While you may see noticeable improvements within the first few weeks, it typically takes about 6 months for most of the swelling to resolve. Complete healing and the final contour of your nose can continue to refine up to a year post-surgery. This gradual improvement will reveal a nose that is more harmonious with your facial features.
