What Defines Revision Rhinoplasty?

This procedure reshapes or resizes the nose following an initial rhinoplasty that did not meet the patient's cosmetic or functional expectations. Unlike primary rhinoplasty, revision procedures are significantly more challenging due to altered anatomy, scar tissue, and compromised structural support.
