| If you are seeking a revision rhinoplasty then you are not alone. At least 10% of all patients who have undergone rhinoplasty undergo a secondary procedure to acheive their desired result. Most of the time, an experienced facial plastic surgeon will need to perform only a minor touch up surgery to further refine your results. However in some cases, major revision nasal surgery is needed and slight changes are just not enough. If this is your case, then you have come to the right place. First educate yourself about revision rhinoplasty before undergoing another nasal surgery. Very slight changes to the structure of the nose — often measured in millimeters — can make a large difference in how your nose looks. Most changes done in rhinoplasty are made by altering the shape of the underlying nasal cartilages and nasal bone. Over time, the nasal skin adapts to the restructured cartilage and bone. It can take up to one year for your final result to show. The nasal cartilages and bones provide structural support to the nose preventing nasal collapse during breathing. Thus, overzealous violation of these structural elements without compensatory techniques often results in a bad nose job that requires revision. Common reasons for revision rhinoplasty include: - an over-operated, unnatural looking nose
- collapsed and obstructed nose..cannot breath well
- overly up-turned nose
- assymetric, twisted, disproportionate nose
- no facial balance
- nasal tip problems
- noses remaining too wide
