Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision Rhinoplasty differs from traditional rhinoplasty surgery in that the nose has been previously operated on. Tissues may have been added to or removed, and the healing may have created an unexpected end result. When performing this subsequent surgery, Dr. Rubenstein must take these factors into account.
A revision rhinoplasty is performed not only to correct the errors of a previous rhinoplasty surgery, but also with the aim of creating the results the patient originally requested. Most common complaints include the following:
- A deviated septum from collapse, which can result in outward asymmetry
- A tip that requires further correction
- A droopy tip that is not properly supported
- A pinched tip, where tissues were over-aggressively removed
Meet Camille
A Revision Rhinoplasty
Success Story
- Age: 40 years old
- Concerns: Poly beak deformity, lack of tip refinement, and breathing difficulties.
- Previous Treatments: Initial rhinoplasty by another surgeon, non-surgical filler injections, and laser rejuvenation treatments.
Camille, at 36, was deeply unhappy with the results of a rhinoplasty performed by another surgeon. Struggling with a poly beak deformity and significant breathing issues, she sought a specialist who could restore both form and function to her nose. After careful consideration, she chose Dr. Rubinstein, drawn to his expertise in facial plastic surgery and encouraged by her natural results from previous non-surgical treatments with him.
Four years after undergoing a meticulous revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Rubinstein, Camille’s concerns have been expertly addressed. He corrected the poly beak deformity and enhanced the refinement of her nasal tip using cartilage tip grafting. Dr. Rubinstein also improved her breathing by repairing a deviated septum and rectifying the nasal collapse caused by the previous surgery. Now at 40, Camille enjoys a beautifully natural look and a renewed sense of self-confidence, thanks to the lasting results of her surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions about Revision Rhinoplasty
While there are a number of specific reasons why a person would want a second rhinoplasty, there are two main or general reasons. A person might have never been happy with her or his initial results or something might have happened to the nose in the years (or even months) after the first surgery, altering its shape.
A person might end up with a nose he or she is not satisfied with after a primary rhinoplasty for a number of reasons. It could be that the patient saw a surgeon who wasn’t very experienced with the procedure and who wasn’t able to produce the results a patient had wanted. It could also be that a patient wasn’t fully sure of what he or she wanted before the surgery and that he or she finds the new nose somehow not quite right.
The reasons for a revision rhinoplasty that are out of a patient’s control are numerous. For example, a patient might have been involved in a car accident a couple of
years after the first surgery and the damage from the accident might have negatively affected the nose’s appearance. A patient might be an athlete whose nose was injured during play, too.
Just as primary rhinoplasties aren’t only performed for appearance sake, it’s also possible for a patient to want a revision because the function of his or her nose is somehow affected after surgery. While rhinoplasty can be performed to fix breathing problems, it’s also possible that, when performed by an unskilled surgeon, the surgery can create breathing or functional problems in the nose, meaning an additional surgery is needed to correct them.
Picking a surgeon for a revision rhinoplasty isn’t as simple as finding a name in an online directory and booking an appointment. You want to take your time to find the right doctor. Depending on the reason for your revision, it might be acceptable to see the same doctor again. If you’re considering a revision to correct a nose that has been injured after a primary rhinoplasty, the surgeon who performed your first procedure can be a good pick, but only if he is experienced in performing revision surgeries as well as primary rhinoplasties.
Of course, if you weren’t happy with the results you got for the initial surgeon or if you felt that the surgeon-patient relationship wasn’t what it could have been, finding a new surgeon for your second surgery is probably the better option. When looking for a new surgeon, you’ll want to find out how many revision procedures he’s performed, ask to speak to past patients, and review before and after pictures of patients.
Revision rhinoplasty isn’t a procedure that can be performed right after the first surgery. It takes time for the nasal passages to heal and for a final result to be visible. Even if you think you dislike your nose a month after surgery, it’s typically recommended that you wait for about a year, to give the nose time to fully heal and to give any inflammation time to decrease.
Revision rhinoplasty can be considerably different from a primary rhinoplasty. The surgeon has to navigate around tissues that have already been operated on, which can make the process somewhat more challenging and is one of the reasons why you want a doctor who is familiar with the procedure.
While the surgeries are different, they also share a lot in common. You can expect the recovery period to be somewhat similar after a revision rhinoplasty as it was after your first surgery. You’ll want to take a week or two off from work and will have to take it easy for another week after that. There might be more swelling and bruising after a revision surgery, but that can also vary from patient to patient.
