Revision Rhinoplasty

There are numerous reasons why one may look for revision rhinoplasty surgery. This can include not enough work being done the first time, unhappiness with the new shape, or experiencing persistent nasal or breathing problems. No matter your reason, Dr. Davis can help with his revision rhinoplasty in Houston.

The nose is a complex structure that requires a skilled surgeon to shape and resize. Because of this, some may find they are still unhappy with their nose, even after a rhinoplasty procedure. If you are unsatisfied with your previous rhinoplasty results, Dr. Kent Davis offers revision rhinoplasty surgery in Houston to patients from Houston and its surrounding cities.

What Is Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct the results of a previous rhinoplasty procedure. Some patients may need one section corrected, while others need the entire nose corrected. The procedure will be performed under general anesthesia. As with rhinoplasty, most of the incisions will be made internally. The bone and the cartilage can be reshaped and resized during this time. The exact specifications of the procedure will depend on your current nose and the points you desire to change. During your consultation with Dr. Davis, he will be able to walk you through the steps of the procedure and what he will aim to accomplish.

Benefits of Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty can help you finally achieve the results you were initially looking for. It can be incredibly challenging to be unhappy with the results of a cosmetic procedure. Because the nose is the face’s focal point, this can make being unsatisfied even more frustrating. For some patients, revision rhinoplasty can also assist in easing breathing difficulties and opening up nasal passages.

When Is the Right Time for Revision Surgery?

Some patients think they can tell right after primary rhinoplasty that they will need revision surgery. Before making that decision it is essential to wait the proper amount of time. Typically revision surgery is performed one year or later from the initial surgery. This allows the nose time to heal properly from the original surgery and no longer be swollen. After that point, Dr. Davis will also be able to see the nose in its actual shape.

Recovery from Revision Rhinoplasty

After your revision rhinoplasty surgery in Houston at our plastic surgery practice, you will need to recover at home for one to two weeks. During this time, you may experience some bruising around the eyes and swelling. This should subside soon after.

This will include the do’s and don’ts of post-op care. If at any point you have any questions or concerns, the staff of Texas Facial Plastic Surgery will be happy to assist you.
