Overview
What is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision or secondary rhinoplasty corrects deformities caused by a previous nose operation. Some patients who have undergone a previous rhinoplasty or nose job in Los Angeles may be unhappy with the results for functional or cosmetic reasons. In some cases, a revision rhinoplasty may be performed. Revision rhinoplasty can be a more difficult procedure to perform than primary rhinoplasty because there may be less cartilage to work with, and there may be scarring tissue contracture or tightening within the nose. In some cases, additional cartilage may be taken from the ear or even the ribs to reconstruct the nose.
Am I An Ideal Candidate For A Revision Rhinoplasty?
Many candidates for revision rhinoplasty are eligible if it has been at least one year since their last surgery. This healing period ensures nasal tissues have fully recovered. Patients typically seek revision rhinoplasty to address breathing difficulties, functional issues, or unsatisfactory cosmetic results.

A revision rhinoplasty can offer many of the same advantages as a primary rhinoplasty, including:

What to Expect During a Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure
Revision rhinoplasty in Los Angeles is similar to primary rhinoplasty but can be more complex depending on the corrections needed. Here's what to expect:
- Removal of residual bone or cartilage from the nasal bridge
- Adjustments for overcorrection from a previous surgery
- Grafting of bone or cartilage from the ear or rib if too much was removed before
- Procedure duration ranges from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the extent of correction
FAQs About Revision Rhinoplasty
How common are revision rhinoplasties?
While revision rhinoplasty is featured on shows like Botched, it's actually rare, with only 5% to 10% of primary rhinoplasties needing correction. To avoid unsatisfactory outcomes, choosing a highly qualified surgeon is essential. Look beyond board certification and ask key questions like:
- What specialized training has the surgeon received, and where?
- How many rhinoplasties does the surgeon perform annually?
- Can the surgeon provide before-and-after photos to prove experience and success?
- What do reviews say about their rhinoplasty and revision results?
- Do you feel comfortable and confident after your consultation?
Will a revision rhinoplasty ruin my nose?
To achieve the best results from revision rhinoplasty, it is very important to choose a board-certified surgeon who specializes in this procedure and has a proven track record. Revision rhinoplasty carries a higher risk, but this is mitigated by a surgeon experienced in both primary and revision cases. While it can significantly improve nasal appearance and function, perfection is rare. During your consultation, clear communication about realistic expectations is essential.
Will a revision rhinoplasty look natural?
During your revision rhinoplasty consultation, it's essential to listen carefully and have realistic expectations. Perfection is uncommon, and Dr. Daneshrad may ask if you would be satisfied with a 50 to 80% improvement. This conversation is key to achieving the best outcome. Dr. Daneshrad conducts thorough consultations and examinations to set clear expectations based on the current condition of your nose.
