What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary nose job that is performed for a variety of reasons, including structural breathing problems, collapsed nasal structures, pinched nostrils, an overly reduced bridge, and more.

In cases where a previous surgery was too aggressive, the doctor can use cartilage or skin grafts to rebuild a pleasing and attractive nose that suits your face.

The general consensus among plastic surgeons is that revision rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging surgical procedures they are asked to do. Repairing primary nose surgery requires a highly-skilled plastic surgeon with many years of experience in both primary and revision rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles. This surgery requires a background in complex reconstructive work as well as an artistic approach to ensure changes are seamless and natural.

What are the Different Rhinoplasty Techniques?

Rhinoplasty Techniques: Open or Closed Incisions

There are a number of rhinoplasty techniques and methods. However, the more significant choice when it comes to rhinoplasty is whether the procedure will be open or closed. The rhinoplasty technique Dr. Lee will choose depends on your unique nasal structure and your aesthetic needs and goals. Dr. Lee’s approach will be open or closed, which refers largely to the incision types used to achieve the desired outcome.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty is required for more complex or significant changes to the nose. This procedure includes small incisions on the outside of the nose, which are designed to be hidden in the natural folds of your skin. These incisions allow Dr. Lee to lift the nasal skin in order to expose the underlying nasal structures, making more accurate and significant reshaping possible.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty is a more finite procedure that involves less restructuring. This technique uses smaller incisions made within the nostrils, leaving no scars.

Why is it Important to Find the Right Revision Rhinoplasty Surgeon?

Dr. Lee encourages anyone considering primary or revision rhinoplasty to take the time to research the procedure and to get all questions answered. She feels it is important to feel comfortable with your surgeon and not to feel rushed into a decision. Finding a surgeon who excels in rhinoplasty and facial surgery will prevent the need for most revision surgery. Across the nation, approximately 5-10% of rhinoplasty patients require a touch-up or revision. If you are unhappy with your previous rhinoplasty in any way, a revision rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles can be a source of enormous relief.

Revision Rhinoplasty Patient Testimonial

“I am so very thankful I found Dr. Lee! Scheduling a consultation with her for rhinoplasty revision was one of the best decisions I ever made. Every detail from the aesthetics of her office to the warmth of her staff reflect Dr. Lee's ethics and professionalism. Every visit (from consultation to now, post-op) I have felt welcomed and have been treated with respect; a far cry from the "drive-thru" approach I've experienced at other practices. Dr. Lee listened intently, asked insightful questions, offered knowledgeable feedback, and I never felt rushed.

I am now a month post-surgery and could not have asked for better results! Dr. Lee corrected all the functional and cosmetic issues I was left with after my first, botched 2012 rhinoplasty. My quality of life has improved drastically as I can now breathe and sleep through the night. My nose is now cute instead of crooked and I smile whenever I catch my reflection. I trust Dr. Lee and her staff implicitly with my face. I can't thank her enough!”

Some swelling and bruising.
Nasal congestion, mild bleeding, and a feeling of stuffiness are common but usually improve within the first week.
