What Is Revision Rhinoplasty?

If you’ve undergone cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, or rhinoplasty, on your nose before and are unhappy with the results, then you may be seeking revision rhinoplasty in Chelmsford. This type of surgical procedure is specifically designed with you and your previous surgery in mind.

Given that rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging types of plastic surgery, breathing issues or external abnormalities may result from your initial procedure. Revision rhinoplasty involves creating a surgical plan to address your issues and work on restructuring your nose to bring you greater peace of mind and nasal function. Revision rhinoplasty may be right for you if you’ve had previous nose work and are unhappy with the results or experiencing breathing difficulties.

What Happens During Revision Rhinoplasty?


Because this type of procedure is dependent on your previous surgery, revision rhinoplasty is highly individualized, which affects both the surgery and healing times. Dr. Lee will work with you to create a specific plan for your needs. You will be placed under general anesthesia. Using the plan he developed with you, Dr. Lee will make incisions as needed in order to reposition cartilage, bone, and possibly the septum.

It is possible that you will require extra cartilage grafts from the ear or the rib or additional fascia grafts from the scalp or the chest. Once the procedure is complete, Dr. Lee will close the incisions with stitches. You will have splints inside your nose and a cast on top of your nose. You’ll need to return for a follow-up to make sure you’re healing correctly and ensure your satisfaction with the surgery.
