Revision Rhinoplasty - What to Expect?

Hey there, I had a rhinoplasty a few years ago, but I'm not entirely satisfied with the results. I'm thinking about undergoing a revision rhinoplasty to address some remaining issues, but I'm nervous about the process. Can anyone who has had revision rhinoplasty share their experience? What should I expect in terms of recovery and results? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Revision procedures are indeed different from primary surgeries, often involving more complex surgical techniques due to changes in anatomy and scar tissue from the initial surgery. Patients considering revision rhinoplasty should have clear and realistic expectations. It's important to understand that while revision can improve aesthetic and functional issues, achieving perfection is not always possible. During consultations, I ensure to discuss the potential outcomes, the scope of improvements, and realistic goals based on the individual's unique anatomical structure. The recovery process for revision rhinoplasty typically involves swelling and bruising similar to the initial surgery, but patients might notice the final results take slightly longer to settle due to the complexities involved. Emotional readiness for additional surgery is also critical, and I encourage patients to discuss any concerns they might have openly. Choosing a surgeon with extensive experience in revision rhinoplasty is crucial. Look for a surgeon who not only specializes in nasal surgeries but also has a track record of successful revision outcomes. If you have any further questions or need clarification on what to expect from a revision rhinoplasty, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Hey! I went through a revision rhinoplasty about a year back, and yeah, it was a different beast compared to my first surgery. The swelling and bruising felt the same, but it seemed like forever before I could really see the results. Definitely keep in close touch with your surgeon about what you're hoping to achieve and any worries you've got. It's a game of patience, and trusting your surgeon's skills is key. Hang in there, and best of luck!

Hello there! I had a revision rhinoplasty to fix a few things left over from my first surgery, and I'm actually really happy with how things turned out. But it's super important to keep your expectations in check—these surgeries aren't magic, and some imperfections might still hang around. Be upfront with your surgeon about what you're hoping to fix so they can give you the real scoop on what to expect. Look after yourself first and foremost throughout this whole process!

Absolutely, setting realistic expectations is crucial, especially with something as delicate as revision rhinoplasty. It's definitely more complicated than a first-time surgery, so picking a surgeon who's got a lot of experience with revisions is crucial. Don’t be shy about bombarding them with questions or sharing your concerns. It’s all about making sure you're on the same page and aiming for the best outcome possible. Wishing you all the best with it!

Hi there! I also had a revision a few years back, and emotionally, it was tougher than the first round. It's totally normal to feel a mix of anxiety and frustration when going back under the knife. But try to stay focused on why you're doing it and the improvements you're aiming for. Be open with your surgeon about everything—your fears, your hopes, everything. Patience really is a virtue here, and giving yourself time to adjust afterwards is key. Sending good vibes your way!

Hello. I had my first nose job and then a revision nine months later. It's been six months since the revision, and from the front, my nose still looks wide. I'm wondering if it's possible to have a minor procedure done in a clinic setting to make it look narrower and more refined?

I have one more question. How long should I take a break from wine and beer before I go in for my nose job? Is there a specific number of days or weeks recommended?

I'm thinking about getting a nose job, but my work schedule is pretty tight. Can I go back to work just a few days after the surgery? Like, can I use tape to help my nose and keep working without needing a lot of downtime?

I underwent rhinoplasty, but I desire to lower the tip of my nose and rectify the curved portion. Is it possible to achieve these revisions through surgery? After my rhinoplasty, my nose ended up looking really short, turned up, and wide, almost like a bony shape. Can a revision fix this? I want to

So, about a year and a half back, I got a nose job done. But now, my nose tip's kinda drooping, my nose looks a bit wonky, and I sometimes struggle to breathe. Plus, whenever I fill up the tip of my nose, it's like my whole nose just grew bigger. What can be done to fix these issues?
