The Procedure
The Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure
The revision rhinoplasty procedure is customized to suit the patient’s needs and can range from straightforward to extremely complex. The procedure can be simple, just requiring the removal of excess bone and cartilage. On the other end of the spectrum, the procedure may require a complete overhaul of the nasal structure.
If a patient’s revision procedure is required due to the removal of too much tissue, patients can expect a long and complicated surgery. These types of surgeries will require tissue grafts that are typically harvested from the ear cartilage or rib area.
Problems can and do occur within any area of the nose. The upper third, middle third, or nasal tip can face complications and will possibly need adjustment. It is important to go over the procedure with your revision surgeon and make sure that the recommended surgery is customized to deal with your specific problems.

Preparing for Revision Rhinoplasty
Before the procedure, you should be given a pre-op information packet. This packet will be full of information such as things you should do and know before the surgery.
The packet will contain a list of medications and substances that should not be used for at least 2 weeks before the procedure. These substances will usually include aspirin, alcohol, and some herbal medications. It is crucial to avoid any blood-thinning medication to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding. Smoking is also not allowed for several weeks before and after the surgery.
As an experienced surgeon, Dr. Hojjat will provide detailed instructions to ensure optimal outcomes. Additionally, following these guidelines is an important part of patient care, helping to ensure a smooth surgery and recovery process.
Recommendations
Recovery after Revision Rhinoplasty Surgery
Recovery from this surgical procedure can take longer compared to previous surgery. Revision rhinoplasty patients often find that their recovery period is extended.
- Immediate Post-Surgery Care: Bleeding will occur during the first few days but should gradually dissipate. Cold compresses are advised to help reduce swelling.
- First Week Precautions: Keep your head elevated to help avoid any trauma to the nose area. It is also recommended that you do not blow your nose for two to three weeks after surgery.
- Pain Management: Pain medication may be necessary during this period to manage discomfort.
- Follow-Up and Healing: Three to seven days after surgery, you will return to Dr. Hojjat to have the cast removed. Most of the swelling should subside after two weeks.
- Long-Term Recovery: Your nose should be completely healed after about 2-3 months, but will continue to experience subtle changes for up to a year or more. The goal throughout is to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.
