Revision Rhinoplasty
Dr. Sedgh is regarded as being among the most accomplished nose revision specialists practicing in the Los Angeles area. He and his hand-selected staff are kind, warm, and compassionate, and dedicated to providing personal care and attention during every step of the process.
RESTORING YOUR NOSE SHAPE AND FUNCTION WITH REVISION RHINOPLASTY
Revision surgeries are often more complicated than the initial procedure, but with advanced reconstructive techniques, a revision rhinoplasty can yield an enhanced nose that contributes to improved facial symmetry and aesthetic quality. It can also promote better breathing and restore normal nasal functions that may have been affected during the initial rhinoplasty.
WHY UNDERGO A REVISION RHINOPLASTY?
Revision rhinoplasty is mainly for patients who are unsatisfied with their previous nose job results, but it can also be ideal for those with persistent nasal issues or those who simply want additional changes.
- Unnatural or “overdone” nose enhancements
- Excessive or insufficient bridge, nostril, or tip reduction
- Collapse of inner nasal structure
- Increased asymmetry
- Inadequate reshaping
- Excessive visible scarring
- Healing complications from a previous surgery

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NOSE JOB GOES WRONG?
A poorly performed rhinoplasty can have devastating results. You had hoped that your nose shape, size, or projection would be resolved with an attractive and natural result, but may now be living with a nose that looks unnatural or strange—and possibly worse than it did in its natural state. Surgical errors can lead to severe problems in both appearance and function, including the following conditions:
- Airway obstruction: When surgery is performed incorrectly, the ability to breathe freely can be affected, and must be surgically corrected
- Collapsed nasal bones, “Polly beak”: This is a complication in which the primary surgery failed to provide enough support for the nose structure, causing it to collapse and become concave in appearance, pushing the tip downward
- Nostril deformity: A failure to perform primary surgery correctly can lead to uneven nostril size or shape, which must be surgically corrected to restore a natural look
- Nose structure too small: When too much of the nose structure has been removed and the nose now appears too small, it requires high-level skills to correct it, often requiring cartilage grafts
- Pinched nose tip: The nose tip may have been wrongly reshaped, leading to a tight, pinched look to the nose tip; this unattractive result can be resolved with carefully performed revision surgery
- Crooked nose structure: The surgery may have left your nose looking crooked or uneven, which requires revision surgery to straighten and correct
- Asymmetry: If your result appears uneven, with the nose larger on one side, a revision rhinoplasty can be performed to create a natural, more even look
- Irregularities on nose bridge: The nose bridge may have been altered incorrectly, or even reveal the bony structure of the nose
- Over-rotation (nose too short): The nose tip cartilage looks unnatural due to the removal of too much cartilage
- Excessive scarring: If you were left with noticeable scarring, treatments can be performed to create a less obvious incision scar
- Internal nose valve collapse: Whether caused by contraction scarring, poorly placed incisions or removal of too much tissue, this problem requires the removal of excess scar tissue, or restoring the valve with the placement of a cartilage graft
- Healing complications from previous surgery

RECOVERY FROM REVISION RHINOPLASTY – WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
The recovery from revision rhinoplasty can be similar to your experience with your primary nose job or may take longer to achieve the full result. You will need to rest and recover for one to two weeks, not returning to work or other activities for about 10 days or more.
RECOVERY RULES
You will need to sleep with your head elevated, and avoid bending over, lifting, or blowing your nose for three weeks. Gentle walks are the best exercise. The full results will be achieved over time but may require up to a year or longer, although your nose will be significantly improved in appearance far earlier.
