Revision Rhinoplasty FAQs
Why might someone need a revision rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty may be necessary if the initial rhinoplasty didn’t achieve the desired results or if complications like breathing difficulties or asymmetry occur. It’s also an option for individuals who experience changes in their nose’s appearance as they age.
How does revision rhinoplasty differ from rhinoplasty?
Unlike rhinoplasty, which typically involves modifying the natural nasal structure, revision rhinoplasty often requires more complex techniques due to altered anatomy. Dr. Fahradyan may use cartilage grafts from the septum or ear to rebuild and reshape the nose.
What is recovery like after a revision rhinoplasty?
Recovery time varies but usually involves swelling and bruising for a few weeks. Patients should follow post-operative instructions, including keeping their heads elevated. Most patients resume daily activities within a few days, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for a few weeks after a revision rhinoplasty in Thousand Oaks.
