Yes, a revision rhinoplasty can be riskier than your first. However, working with an experienced surgeon can help minimize any risks so you can achieve your aesthetic goals.
Whether you’re dealing with cosmetic concerns or functional issues, it’s essential to thoroughly discuss your goals with a qualified surgeon. As a renowned Manhattan plastic surgeon, Dr. Thomas Loeb can assess any specific issues, explain the feasibility of further correction, and outline realistic expectations and potential risks associated with revision surgery.
After having a rhinoplasty that didn’t meet your expectations, it’s normal to start evaluating your options. Revision rhinoplasty, a secondary surgery performed to correct the results of a previous rhinoplasty, can help correct or enhance the results of a previous nose surgery (primary rhinoplasty).
Because revision rhinoplasty is a complex procedure, it requires meticulous planning and surgical skill due to altered nasal anatomy and potential scar tissue from the initial surgery. The process typically starts with a comprehensive consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During this consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your concerns, examine your nose, review previous surgical records, and discuss your expectations for the revision.
In addition, your surgeon will carefully assess your nose’s current structure, identifying any irregularities, asymmetries, or functional issues resulting from the previous surgery. From there, they’ll create a personalized surgical plan to address your specific concerns and achieve your desired outcome.
Revision rhinoplasty may pose some additional challenges and risks compared to the initial surgery. Several factors contribute to this increased complexity:
Due to these factors, revision rhinoplasty can carry a slightly higher risk of complications compared to primary rhinoplasty. It’s important to discuss your concerns, expectations, and potential risks with a qualified surgeon before moving forward with your rhinoplasty.
Revision rhinoplasty demands a high level of expertise and experience from the surgeon due to the complexities involved. If you’re considering a revision rhinoplasty, it’s paramount to work with a board-certified plastic surgeon to ensure a successful outcome.
With over 30 years of field experience, Dr. Loeb has the expertise to turn your goals into a reality. He specializes in fixing the mistakes of other surgeons during revision rhinoplasties, having first achieved international acclaim with his transformation of Paula Jones’ nose.
