Revision Rhinoplasty Houston, TX | Davis Kent G

Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct and improve the results of a previous nose surgery. Patients may seek this procedure for various reasons, including aesthetic dissatisfaction or persistent functional issues with their nose.

Common Reasons for Revision Rhinoplasty

• Unsatisfactory aesthetic results from initial surgery
• Breathing difficulties or nasal passage obstructions
• Asymmetry or structural irregularities
• Desire for more refined nasal contours

The Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure

Revision rhinoplasty is a complex surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. Most incisions are made internally, allowing the surgeon to carefully reshape bone and cartilage. The specific approach depends on the individual patient's unique nasal structure and desired outcomes.

Surgical Techniques

• Internal incision approach
• Precise cartilage and bone reshaping
• Customized surgical plan
• Comprehensive nasal reconstruction

Timing of Revision Surgery

Patients are typically advised to wait at least one year after the initial rhinoplasty before considering revision surgery. This waiting period allows the nose to fully heal and settle, providing a more accurate assessment of potential modifications.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from revision rhinoplasty typically requires one to two weeks of home rest. Patients may experience bruising and swelling, which gradually subsides. Full return to strenuous activities may take three to four weeks, with complete healing occurring over several months.

Post-Surgical Considerations

• 1-2 weeks initial recovery period
• Potential bruising and swelling
• Gradual return to normal activities
• Personalized post-operative care instructions
