Revision Rhinoplasty Scottsdale, AZ | Dr. Ryan Tsujimura, MD

Overview of Revision Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a complex cosmetic surgery that sometimes requires refinement or correction. Revision rhinoplasty addresses complications or unsatisfactory outcomes from previous nose surgeries. The procedure demands exceptional surgical skill and precise understanding of nasal anatomy.

Reasons for Revision Rhinoplasty

• Persistent nasal asymmetry
• Functional breathing difficulties
• Aesthetic concerns from initial surgery
• Structural deformities
• Inadequate size reduction

Surgical Techniques

Full Rhinoplasty Revision

Secondary rhinoplasty involves complex reconstruction techniques. Surgeons typically use an open approach, separating skin from underlying cartilage and bone structures. This method provides comprehensive access to modify and improve nasal architecture.

Touch-Up Rhinoplasty

Minor revisions address subtle imperfections like visible cartilage edges or slight shape irregularities. These procedures are less invasive and focus on refined aesthetic adjustments.

Surgical Considerations

Revision rhinoplasty requires advanced surgical expertise due to existing scar tissue and altered nasal anatomy. Experienced surgeons utilize specialized techniques to reconstruct and improve both form and function of the nose.

Surgical Approach

• Performed under monitored anesthesia care
• Customized surgical plan based on individual anatomy
• Potential cartilage grafting from patient's own tissue
• Comprehensive evaluation of nasal structure

Procedure Prevalence

Minor revision rates in rhinoplasty range between 5-15%, with most patients seeking subtle refinements. Complex reconstructive cases are less common but require exceptional surgical precision.
