Are you unhappy with the results of your cosmetic nose surgery? This happens to about 15 percent of all nose surgery patients. Nose surgery can deliver great results, but in some cases, they are not achieved through the initial procedure. Many patients who undergo nose reshaping surgery decide to undergo a second procedure to further enhance the shape, size, or width of the nose. Revision rhinoplasty can also be performed to help patients who are experiencing difficulty breathing as a result of the initial procedure.

If you are looking into a Revision Rhinoplasty, your first step is to schedule an appointment with Michael J. Sundine, M.D. Your initial consultation will center around your goals of nasal surgery, an examination of your nose in the context of an overall head and neck examination, and a discussion of how best to meet your vision.
Dr. Sundine will discuss a variety of techniques for rhinoplasty with you, and together, you will choose a method that will produce the best results. Pre and post-operative examples of other similar revisional rhinoplasties can be reviewed to give you a better understanding of what to expect. The details of the procedure and post-op care are explained, and any questions you may have are answered. If a plan is confirmed to move forward with surgery, you meet with our Patient Coordinator to schedule a surgery date.
Before your surgery, you may have one more pre-operative visit. This visit typically involves a pre-operative history and physical at our office. This visit is performed to assess any medical issues you may have and to ensure that your surgery is conducted most safely. This visit is also an opportunity for you to ask additional questions that may have arisen after your initial consultation.
Revision rhinoplasty surgery is always performed using the open rhinoplasty approach. To perform this procedure, Dr. Sundine makes small incisions along the vertical strip of skin separating the nostrils. The skin and soft tissues are then folded back to expose the underlying cartilage and bone for easier reshaping.
Revision rhinoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia at a local hospital or accredited outpatient surgical facility. You will be able to go home on the same day.
Your recovery will greatly depend on the degree of correction that was performed. However, in most cases, recovering from this procedure is not much different than recovering from the previous surgery. Your nose will be bandaged up and a splint will be placed for a few days. You will be given medicine and painkillers to keep you comfortable. Swelling and bruising are common but subside gradually. The results may not be visible for a few months, but you will be able to return to work and other daily activities within a couple of weeks. Dr. Sundine will monitor your progress for as long as necessary.
The cost of a Newport Beach Revision Rhinoplasty can vary on a number of factors. Dr. Michael Sundine tailors each revision to the individual patient. The surgery is highly detailed and the cost will be explained during your consultation with Dr. Sundine.
