Unfortunately, some Los Angeles nose surgery patients are unsatisfied with the results of their initial rhinoplasty. The cosmetic changes may not meet their expectations, or they may develop breathing problems after their nose surgery, or both. In any case, over 15% of all rhinoplasty surgeries are revisions, or secondary rhinoplasties – nose surgeries performed subsequent to another nose surgery, or to correct damage caused by trauma or injury. Since this type of nose surgery is more complex than the initial one, it is very important that you select a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in revision rhinoplasty in Los Angeles, such as Dr. Grant Stevens, Dr. Michelle Spring, or Dr. David Stoker.
About Revision Rhinoplasty
Our surgeons are renowned Los Angeles rhinoplasty (nose job) specialists who create results that are beautiful, natural, and functional. They regularly receive revision case referrals to correct nose surgeries performed at other practices. They understand that revisional rhinoplasty surgery comes with its own unique challenges, including:
- Compromised cartilage
- Changes in skin thickness
- The presence of scar tissue
- The need to repair internal structures
Some patients will require only minor cosmetic changes to achieve the results they desire. Others will need more extensive revision, which may include restoring the proper function of the nose. In either case, our surgeons will work with you to create the results you envisioned from your initial procedure.
The Procedure
Whenever possible, our surgeons will re-use the initial incision site or utilize incisions inside the nose to minimize scarring. They will address any functional concerns, and will re-shape the nose to the desired shape and proportion. Since this procedure is more involved than the initial surgery, it typically takes longer – up to 4 hours. Recovery time and post surgical care should be comparable to those of your initial rhinoplasty.
You deserve to have the nose you expected from your initial surgery, and Dr. Stevens, Dr. Spring, and Dr. Stoker can help you achieve that goal.
