REVISION RHINOPLASTY NORTH CHARLESTON, SC | NATIONAL FACIAL PLASTIC &
LASER SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Revision rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to
correct aesthetic and functional issues from a previous nose surgery.
Approximately 15% of primary rhinoplasty patients require a secondary
procedure to achieve their desired results.

COMMON REASONS FOR REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Patients may seek a revision rhinoplasty for several complex reasons:

 	* Obstructed breathing
	* Excessive scar tissue development
	* Tip projection or width problems
	* Dorsal height inconsistencies
	* Nasal asymmetry
	* Cartilage collapse
	* Insufficient cosmetic improvement

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES IN REVISION RHINOPLASTY

National Facial Plastic & Laser Surgery offers two primary approaches
to revision rhinoplasty: open and closed techniques. The chosen method
depends on the patient's specific nasal structure and desired
outcomes.

OPEN RHINOPLASTY

In an open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made between the nostrils,
providing comprehensive access to the nasal structure. This technique
allows for more precise surgical modifications and is particularly
useful for complex revisions.

CLOSED RHINOPLASTY

Closed rhinoplasty involves smaller incisions within the nostril
lining, offering a less invasive approach with potentially shorter
recovery times. The technique is selected based on individual patient
requirements.

TIMING OF REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Patients must allow sufficient healing time before undergoing a
secondary procedure. The complete healing process from an initial
rhinoplasty typically ranges from 12 to 18 months, during which nasal
tissues stabilize and final results become apparent.

CANDIDATE EVALUATION

A comprehensive consultation assesses multiple factors to determine
revision rhinoplasty suitability, including skin thickness, underlying
nasal structure, cartilage strength, and functional considerations.

EXPERT SURGICAL APPROACH

Revision rhinoplasty demands extraordinary surgical precision and
expertise. The procedure often requires more time and complexity
compared to primary rhinoplasty, with surgeries potentially lasting
four to five hours.

UNDERSTANDING REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Revision rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to
correct aesthetic or functional issues from a previous nose surgery.
Approximately 15% of primary rhinoplasty patients require a secondary
procedure to achieve their desired results.

COMMON REASONS FOR REVISION RHINOPLASTY

 	* Obstructed breathing
	* Excessive scar tissue
	* Undesired tip projection or width
	* Asymmetry
	* Insufficient cosmetic changes

SURGICAL APPROACH TO REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Dr. Joseph Russell carefully evaluates each patient's unique nasal
structure and aesthetic goals. The procedure can be performed using
either open or closed rhinoplasty techniques, depending on the
specific correction needed.

OPEN VS. CLOSED RHINOPLASTY TECHNIQUES

In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made between the nostrils,
providing direct access to nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty
involves incisions within the nostril lining, offering a less invasive
approach with potentially shorter recovery time.

PATIENT CONSIDERATIONS FOR SECONDARY NOSE SURGERY

Patients should wait 12 to 18 months after their initial procedure
before considering revision rhinoplasty. This waiting period allows
complete healing and ensures a more accurate assessment of surgical
outcomes.

During the consultation, Dr. Russell comprehensively evaluates:

 	* Skin thickness
