A second chance to be happy with your nose

Rhinoplasty is a big decision. Most people go into their first surgery full of hope, expecting a nose that looks good, works well, and feels natural. But sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Maybe the result isn’t what you imagined, maybe breathing feels worse, or maybe the nose changed shape as it healed.

When that happens, it can feel disappointing , I see this often in my clinic. The good news is, you’re not stuck. Revision rhinoplasty, sometimes called secondary rhinoplasty, is a way to correct or improve the outcome of a previous nose surgery.

Why people come back for a second surgery

Everyone’s story is different. Some people tell me, “my nose still looks crooked.” Others say, “I can’t breathe properly since my first operation.” A few simply don’t feel comfortable with how their nose looks in photos.

The most common reasons are:
 

  • Cosmetic results that don’t match expectations
  • Breathing problems that weren’t solved (or got worse)
  • Collapse or irregularities during healing
  • Changes over time due to scarring or injury

In short, the first surgery didn’t give them what they needed. Revision rhinoplasty offers a second chance.

Why it’s more complex than the first time

Revision is always trickier than the original rhinoplasty. The anatomy isn’t the same anymore. Scar tissue is present, cartilage may have been removed, and the structure can be weakened. Sometimes, I have to take cartilage from the ear or rib to rebuild proper support.

This is why revision rhinoplasty requires a very experienced surgeon , not only to correct the original problem, but to carefully rebuild and create a natural, lasting result.

What happens during surgery

Most revision cases are done with an open approach, which means making a small incision at the base of the nose. This gives me full access to the nasal structures so I can see exactly what needs correcting. In simpler cases, a closed approach (all inside the nostrils) may be enough.

The surgery can involve:

  • Straightening the bridge
  • Refining or supporting the tip
  • Fixing irregularities or collapse
  • Using grafts to strengthen weak areas
  • Opening blocked airways

The operation takes around 2–4 hours. Most patients go home the same day, though occasionally an overnight stay is recommended.

Recovery and results

Recovery from revision rhinoplasty takes patience. Swelling and bruising are part of the process, and the final result takes longer to appear compared to the first surgery.

  • First week: swelling and bruising peak. You’ll wear a splint.
  • 7–10 days: most patients feel ready to go back to work or social life.
  • 2–3 months: nose looks much better, but still refining.
  • 12–18 months: final shape is visible.

It’s a journey, but most patients tell me it was worth it. They not only see improvement, they feel more confident and comfortable.

Revision Rhinoplasty: FAQs

At least 12 months after your first rhinoplasty, so swelling is gone and tissues are stable.

The incision for an open approach is tiny and heals almost invisibly.

Not always. If the nose has enough support, we use what’s there. If not, grafts from the ear or rib may be needed.

It can take longer for swelling to disappear, but most people are back to work in 10–14 days.
