Revision Rhinoplasty Denver, CO | Cherry Creek Face & Skin: Raj TerKonda, MD, FACS

About Revision Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a complex plastic surgery procedure that can occasionally require refinement. Revision rhinoplasty offers patients an opportunity to correct unsatisfactory results from previous nose surgeries. At Cherry Creek Face and Skin in Denver, CO, Dr. TerKonda specializes in secondary nose surgeries that address both aesthetic concerns and functional breathing challenges.

Benefits of Revision Rhinoplasty

A personalized revision rhinoplasty procedure can provide multiple advantages, including:

• Correcting unsatisfactory results from previous nose surgeries
• Rebuilding damaged nasal structures
• Repairing visible aesthetic imperfections
• Enhancing confidence and self-image
• Improving respiratory function and reducing snoring

Candidate Evaluation for Revision Rhinoplasty

Ideal candidates for revision rhinoplasty have realistic expectations and seek long-term solutions for nasal refinement. Dr. TerKonda conducts comprehensive consultations to assess individual needs and determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

Surgical Technique

Revision rhinoplasty typically involves either an open or closed surgical technique. The open approach allows maximum surgical visibility, enabling precise reshaping of nasal structures. Patients can expect to wear a nasal splint for approximately one week following the procedure.

Recovery Expectations

Recovery from revision rhinoplasty may be more complex than initial nose surgery. Patients might experience substantial swelling and bruising for approximately two weeks. Dr. TerKonda provides comprehensive post-operative care and monitoring to ensure optimal healing.

Important Considerations

Patients should allow sufficient healing time after their original rhinoplasty—typically one year—before considering revision surgery. This waiting period ensures accurate assessment of the initial surgical outcome and helps establish realistic expectations.

Potential Surgical Modifications

In some cases, cartilage grafting might be necessary to support nasal structure and improve breathing. Dr. TerKonda will discuss this potential technique during the initial consultation based on individual patient requirements.
