  • Patients opt for revision rhinoplasty when they have undergone rhinoplasty one or more times in the past and desire improvement in the appearance and/or function of the nose.
  • What errors can be rectified with revision rhinoplasty?
    • Appearance-related deformities from previous surgery.
    • Nasal septum deviation.
    • Nasal obstruction (which is caused by a collapse of the tip cartilages resulting in external valve collapse).
  • What organs are essential for revision rhinoplasty?
    • Revision rhinoplasty will need cartilage to provide structural support for the nose's tip and/or bridge. In the absence of septal cartilage, plastic surgeons often take cartilage from other parts of the body, particularly the ear and the rib.
    • Soft tissue irregularities may also require tissue that acts as a camouflage. The most prominent source is "temporalis fascia," which can be taken from a remote incision in the hairline without noticeable deficits.
    • Scarring within the nose will require skin grafts to reopen a distorted and narrowed nasal airway.
