Who is a Good Candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates for revision rhinoplasty are those who have fully healed from their initial procedure, typically waiting at least six months post-surgery. They need to be in good general health and, crucially, should either be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before and after the surgery to ensure the best possible healing. Additionally, having realistic expectations about the outcomes is crucial for a successful revision. If you are experiencing functional or cosmetic issues from a previous rhinoplasty, our compassionate and skilled team is here to help you achieve the desired results, ensuring your journey is positive and transformative.

What Happens During a Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure?

During a revision rhinoplasty procedure, Dr. Burton Sundin or Dr. Reps Sundin begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your concerns and goals. This initial meeting is crucial for developing a tailored surgical plan that addresses your nose's aesthetic and functional aspects.

Our goal is to enhance the appearance of your nose while improving its functionality, ensuring you can breathe comfortably and enjoy a harmonious facial profile.

Recovery from Revision Rhinoplasty

Recovery from revision rhinoplasty involves several key steps to ensure you heal well and achieve the best results. It is normal to experience mild to moderate discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Swelling and bruising are common but diminish within a few weeks, gradually unveiling your refined nasal structure.  Following post-operative care instructions is essential for a smooth recovery, and our team will be there to support you every step of the way. Regular follow-up appointments help us monitor your progress and ensure proper healing, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced appearance and improved breathing confidently.
