Revision rhinoplasty: Aesthetic surgery Royal, Ljubljana✓

Rhinoplasty revision is a surgical procedure used to correct aesthetic or functional issues that have occurred after a previous nose surgery. This procedure is technically more demanding than primary rhinoplasty, as it involves working on tissue that has already been operated on, the presence of scars, and sometimes altered anatomical structures of the nose. The goal of the procedure is to achieve a natural appearance and preserve or improve breathing function.

When is Rhinoplasty Revision Necessary?

Although most patients fully recover after primary rhinoplasty and are satisfied with the appearance and function of their nose, some may experience certain aesthetic or functional issues. In such situations, rhinoplasty revision is considered—an additional procedure aimed at improving the results of the previous surgery or eliminating complications that have arisen.

Revision may be necessary when there are:

• Aesthetic imperfections after the first surgery, such as asymmetry, deformities, or misalignment of the nose with the facial features.

• Functional issues such as difficulty breathing due to nasal septum deviation or other anatomical changes.

• Scar tissue that affects the appearance or function of the nose.

• Dissatisfaction with previous results and the desire to improve the shape or proportions of the nose.

Benefits of Rhinoplasty Revision

In addition to improving the aesthetic appearance, rhinoplasty revision often resolves functional issues as well. Proper reconstruction can restore the natural balance of facial features, enhance self-confidence, and improve breathing. Patients typically feel more satisfied and confident in their appearance after this procedure while also benefiting from better nasal function.

Important Consultation

Before the procedure, a detailed consultation with the specialists at Royal Aesthetic Surgery is essential. During the examination, the surgeon assesses the tissue condition, correction possibilities, and discusses realistic expectations. It’s crucial for the patient to understand every stage of the process, the risks involved, and the recovery timeline. Our team takes an individualized approach to each patient, creating a surgical plan tailored to the specific case.

How is Rhinoplasty Revision Performed?

The procedure is most commonly performed under general anesthesia and can take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity. An open approach is often used for better visualization and more precise reconstruction, but for minor corrections, a closed technique may be applied. In cases where cartilage is missing, the surgeon may use cartilage from the ear or rib to achieve the desired shape and stability of the nose.

Recovery After Rhinoplasty Revision

The first few days after surgery typically involve swelling and mild bruising, which usually subside within 2 to 3 weeks. Most patients return to their daily activities after 10 to 14 days, while the final results take 6 to 12 months to fully manifest. It is recommended to avoid physical activities, nose trauma, and to wear protective gear while sleeping during the initial weeks.
