01/18/2021 Revision rhinoplasty is commonly referred to as a surgical procedure that revises or corrects a previous surgery. The revision procedure is much more complicated than the primary rhinoplasty. It requires a sophisticated understanding of the nasal structure and expert surgical technique, which the best-in-class plastic surgeon in New York City Dr. Linkov possesses.

What Is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty technically refers to a surgeon repeating a rhinoplasty procedure on his own patient. In contrast, secondary rhinoplasty is performed by a surgeon on a patient with a history of rhinoplasty, whose nose he had not operated on. Revision rhinoplasty NYC is performed using the same general principles and techniques as primary rhinoplasty. Attention is often paid to correcting the bridge of the nose or to tip revision rhinoplasty.

People seek out rhinoplasty surgery to improve their nose, assuming it will be a one and done procedure. But sometimes a person might find that the results of the rhinoplasty do not meet their cosmetic needs or that they still have breathing problems afterward, or even new breathing problems. Often the reason for these problems is an overly reductive initial rhinoplasty that took too much supportive tissue away leaving the potential for many problems behind. People who are unhappy with the results of their first rhinoplasty will sometimes seek out rhinoplasty tip revision, either with the same surgeon or with a different surgeon. Revision rhinoplasty rates generally range from 5-15%.

What Are the Common Rhinoplasty Problems?
A successful nose job should look natural and blend with the rest of the facial features. When rhinoplasty is overdone, poor techniques are used or healing does not go as planned, the results are often noticeable. Some of the common complaints from poor nose job recipients include:

• A pinched appearance
• Collapsed or saddle nose
• Upturned or twisted nose tip
• Bumpy, deviated or twisted bridge
• Nasal valve collapse
