Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty

What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is a complex, corrective surgery for patients who have undergone one or more previous rhinoplasty procedures but are dissatisfied with the outcomes. This could be due to aesthetic reasons, breathing difficulties, or both. Compared to primary rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty poses additional challenges due to altered nasal structures, scar tissue, and possible complications from previous surgeries. Revision rhinoplasty at Kowon Plastic Surgery addresses these concerns by taking a meticulous and individualized approach, ensuring patients achieve a balanced and functional result.

When is Revision Rhinoplasty Needed?

Patients may consider revision rhinoplasty if they experience:

• Aesthetic dissatisfaction: The initial surgery may not have produced the desired shape, symmetry, or size, leading to aesthetic imbalance.

• Breathing problems: Functional issues such as a deviated septum or nasal collapse can sometimes result from improper healing or previous surgical techniques.

• Scar tissue or complications: Scar tissue from prior procedures can alter nasal structure and affect both appearance and functionality.
