Revision Rhinoplasty Fairfax, VA | Jacob Kuperstock, MD

Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty addresses nasal irregularities that persist or emerge after a previous surgical procedure. This specialized technique focuses on correcting aesthetic and functional concerns that were not resolved in the initial surgery. The Facial Plastic Surgery Center employs advanced structural reshaping methods to ensure both visual appeal and long-term nasal stability.

Surgical Approach and Evaluation

During the consultation, surgeons conduct a comprehensive internal and external nasal examination. Key aspects of the evaluation include:

• Detailed structural assessment of nasal anatomy
• Review of previous surgical records
• State-of-the-art imaging simulations
• Discussion of patient's aesthetic and functional goals

Surgical Techniques

The surgical approach varies depending on the specific nasal irregularities. Techniques may include closed or open rhinoplasty, with most incisions strategically placed inside the nose for minimal visible scarring. In some cases, additional cartilage grafting from ear or rib may be utilized to enhance nasal structure.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Post-surgical care is critical for optimal results. Patients can expect the following immediate post-operative protocols:

• Protective nasal taping and casting
• Flexible internal splints for stability
• Prescribed pain management
• Specific activity restrictions for proper healing

Potential Procedure Considerations

Revision rhinoplasty may be recommended for patients experiencing cosmetic or functional concerns such as breathing difficulties, asymmetry, or undesired aesthetic outcomes from previous nasal surgeries.
