Revision Rhinoplasty at New You Harley Street
Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, is a complex surgical procedure intended to correct problems that persist or develop after a previous nose job. Unlike primary rhinoplasty, which is the initial surgery to change the nose's shape or improve its function, revision rhinoplasty aims to fix issues that stem from that initial operation.
This patient had poly-beak deformity, asymmetry, notched nostrils, over-projection and excess nostril show after her primary rhinoplasty. Dr Arda Küçükgüven corrected these issues to give her a much more aesthetically balanced nose. This is her result at 3 months post-op

Revision Rhinoplasty vs Regular Rhinoplasty
While the ultimate goal of improving the nose's appearance or functionality remains the same, the process of revision rhinoplasty is typically more complex than the original surgery. Due to the alterations made during the first procedure, the revision surgeon faces additional challenges, such as scar tissue, changes in skin elasticity, or alterations to the anatomical structure. These factors often require more advanced surgical skills and techniques.
Why Opt for a Revision Rhinoplasty?
Individuals might consider revision rhinoplasty if they are not satisfied with their initial surgery results, whether due to aesthetic or functional issues. The goal is to restore natural beauty and functionality to the nose. For example, if the first surgery leads to breathing difficulties or an unsatisfactory appearance, a revision rhinoplasty specialist can help correct these issues
What is the Ideal Timing for Revision Rhinoplasty?
The ideal waiting period after the initial rhinoplasty before considering a revision varies based on individual cases. Generally, experts advise waiting a minimum of one year. This time allows the body to heal completely and the surgical results to fully materialise, enabling both the patient and the surgeon to accurately evaluate the need for a revision procedure.

Recovery from Revision Rhinoplasty
The recovery period for revision rhinoplasty can be similar to or longer than that of the initial surgery, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Patients should anticipate some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few weeks following surgery. Full recovery and the final result, however, can take up to a year or longer as the nose continues to refine and take on its new shape.
Ideal Candidates for Revision Rhinoplasty
Candidates for revision rhinoplasty are those who have previously undergone a rhinoplasty procedure and are unsatisfied with the results, whether for aesthetic or functional reasons. It is crucial that candidates have realistic expectations of what the revision procedure can achieve and are in good health to undergo surgery.
Risks of Revision Rhinoplasty
As with any surgical procedure, revision rhinoplasty comes with potential risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. Specific to the procedure, risks may include difficulty breathing through the nose, numbness, persistent pain, unsatisfactory aesthetic result, or the need for additional surgery. It is critical to discuss these potential risks with your surgeon.
