Causes of revision rhinoplasty

Choosing the right professional is essential to achieve the desired results from your rhinoplasty.

But sometimes, after undergoing this procedure, the results are not as expected. Revision rhinoplasties are performed to correct a first rhinoplasty.

These are revision or post-traumatic rhinoplasties. But when is it necessary to undergo a second rhinoplasty procedure?

• As mentioned, there are cases where the rhinoplasty has not produced the expected results. Perhaps the nose has an asymmetric shape or is still crooked after the first procedure. It may also have been shortened too much, making it obvious that the nose has been operated on. In these cases, it is necessary to correct the shape of the nose again. Sometimes cartilage from other areas of the body must be used to modify the shape and give a more natural appearance. This is one of the most common causes of revision rhinoplasty.
• Patient dissatisfaction is another common reason. You may not be happy with the final result after rhinoplasty. In that case, it is common to have another rhinoplasty to correct what you do not like.
• Breathing problems after the first rhinoplasty are another reason. By working on the structure of the nose, its functionality may have been affected.
• Scarring problems can also be a reason for undergoing revision rhinoplasty.

Whatever the reason, it is important to know that these rhinoplasties are more complex than the first. The tissues being worked on have already undergone an operation — inflammation and scarring — and are more sensitive.

Therefore, it is essential to consult a professional with proven credentials, such as our expert in rhinoplasty. If you believe revision rhinoplasty could solve your problem, visit our centre.
