Revision Rhinoplasty in Newport Beach, CA | Ali Razfar, MD Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct sub-optimal results from a previous rhinoplasty. Depending on the specific problem, this advanced surgical technique can range from minor corrections to complete nasal reconstructions.

Unlike primary rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty is often significantly more complex. The procedure involves addressing challenges such as scar tissue formation, loss of normal nasal anatomy, and potential grafting requirements. In most cases, the nose must be meticulously rebuilt and reshaped to achieve the best possible aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Common Nasal Deformities Addressed

• Persistent nasal hump
• Scooped bridge
• Pinched nose appearance
• Breathing difficulties
• Crooked or twisted nasal structure
• Wide or disproportionate nose
• Lack of nasal tip definition
• Upturned nose (piggy nose)

Advanced Grafting Techniques

Revision rhinoplasty often requires specialized grafting techniques to rebuild the nasal structure. Dr. Razfar maximizes available cartilage sources, initially utilizing nasal and septal cartilage before considering alternative grafting materials. When necessary, ear or rib cartilage may be used to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results.

Comprehensive Consultation Process

During the revision rhinoplasty consultation in Newport Beach, Dr. Razfar conducts a thorough examination of the nose's internal and external structures. He carefully assesses functional limitations and reviews prior operative reports to develop a personalized treatment strategy that addresses the patient's specific concerns.

Surgical Considerations

Most revision rhinoplasty procedures recommend waiting at least one year after the initial surgery. This allows swelling to resolve and scar tissue to soften, providing a clearer understanding of the nasal structure's final configuration.
