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.
I had a pretty bad deviated septum and trouble breathing since I broke my nose when I was 5 years old. I spent years going to doctors trying to get some relief. Thankfully I was referred to Dr. Sundine, who took one look at me and knew what my problem was. He performed a septoplasty and rhinoplasty surgery in June 2020, and my nose looks amazing and I can finally breathe. My surgery was quick and easy. I had some swelling, no bruising, and no bleeding. After my splints were removed I felt amazing. I can’t thank Dr. Sundine enough. Not only do I feel better but I now have a straight nose that I love. It was scary only being 18 years old and having to go through surgery but Dr. Sundine and his staff were the best. – Alexa V.

Secondary nose surgery, also called revision rhinoplasty, is safe only after the final results of primary rhinoplasty are apparent. This means a revision procedure should not be performed within the first 12 to 18 months after the initial surgery. Dr. Sundine will carefully examine your nose and ask you about your first surgery. He will also ask you about your goals and determine if the results you are looking for can be achieved.
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.
