Signs You May Need Revision
Recognising
the signs
Revision rhinoplasty may be appropriate if you are experiencing any of the following after a previous nasal procedure.
Persistent breathing difficulties
Ongoing nasal obstruction or difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils months after surgery.
Visible asymmetry or irregularities
Crooked appearance, uneven nostrils, visible bumps or divots that were absent before surgery.
Pinched or collapsed tip
A narrow, pinched appearance at the nasal tip, often caused by over-aggressive cartilage removal.
Over or under-correction
A result that looks too small, too large, over-rotated, or simply different to what was agreed.
Saddle nose deformity
A characteristic depression of the nasal bridge caused by structural collapse following aggressive dorsal reduction.
Emotional distress or loss of confidence
Significant psychological impact from a result you are unhappy with is a valid and recognised indication for revision.
Am I a Candidate?
What makes a
good candidate
The following criteria help us assess suitability for revision rhinoplasty at your consultation.
✓
At least 12 months post-primary surgery. The nose must be fully healed before revision can be safely undertaken.
✓
Realistic expectations. You understand that revision surgery works within the constraints of existing anatomy and scar tissue.
✓
Good general health. Non-smoker or willing to cease smoking, no contraindicated medical conditions.
✓
Specific, articulable concerns. You can clearly identify what you would like corrected.
✓
Emotional readiness. You approach the procedure from a stable emotional baseline and understand the recovery process fully.
