REVISION RHINOPLASTY MIDLOTHIAN, VA | COMMONWEALTH FACIAL PLASTIC
SURGERY : MATTHEW BRIDGES, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Revision rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure performed on
a nose that has previously undergone surgical intervention. This
complex technique addresses aesthetic and functional challenges
resulting from prior nasal surgeries, requiring exceptional surgical
expertise and precision.

SURGICAL CHALLENGES IN REVISION RHINOPLASTY

The most common issue in revision rhinoplasty is over-resection of
cartilage and bone, which can cause structural weakening and collapse.
Dr. Bridges' primary goal is to restore the underlying nasal framework
while achieving the patient's desired aesthetic outcome.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

FULL RHINOPLASTY REVISION

 	* Typically performed using an open surgical approach
	* Separates skin from underlying cartilage and bone framework
	* Allows complete access to nasal structures
	* Utilizes autologous tissue grafting when needed

TOUCH-UP RHINOPLASTY

Some patients require minor adjustments following their initial
surgery. These refinements might involve slight bone shaving or tip
modifications to address minimal imperfections.

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Revision rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia in an
accredited surgical facility. The procedure duration varies depending
on the complexity of required corrections. Patients can expect
bruising and swelling, with a nose splint used during initial
recovery.

CARTILAGE GRAFTING IN REVISION RHINOPLASTY

In more complex cases, cartilage grafting becomes necessary to
reconstruct nasal structure. Tissue is typically harvested from the
patient's own body, such as rib cartilage, ensuring optimal
integration and natural results.

FREQUENCY OF REVISION PROCEDURES

Minor revision rates typically range between 5% and 15% across plastic
surgery practices. Most revisions involve subtle adjustments rather
than major reconstructive work.

EXPERTISE MATTERS

Choosing a surgeon with extensive experience in revision rhinoplasty
is crucial. Dr. Matthew Bridges brings decades of specialized
expertise in addressing complex nasal surgical challenges.
