Secondary rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves correcting the shape of the nose after previous primary rhinoplasty.
Most often, the need for a repeat operation arises after:
- Deformities of the nose caused by previous surgical interventions;
- Failure to achieve the desired aesthetic result;
- It is also possible to perform rhinoplasty in several stages.
It is important to understand that secondary rhinoplasty is a complex procedure - it is usually more laborious and demanding than primary rhinoplasty. This is because the tissues of the nose are significantly deformed from previous plastic surgeries. The success of the procedure depends on careful planning, the use of modern gentle techniques, and the qualifications of the plastic surgeon.
Also, if you have additional problems with nasal breathing, it is possible to simultaneously correct the shape of the nose and solve functional problems together with an otolaryngologist. As with primary rhinoplasty, your expectations and goals should be realistic and thoroughly discussed with your plastic surgeon.
When can secondary rhinoplasty be performed?
We recommend waiting at least 6 months after the initial rhinoplasty before undergoing secondary rhinoplasty. It is necessary to wait until the swelling of the nasal tissues has completely subsided and the nose has taken on its final shape. Do not rush into a decision to undergo revision rhinoplasty, as this may lead to undesirable aesthetic results.
What approach does the surgeon choose?
Most secondary operations are performed using an open approach and may require the removal of the patient's own tissue to achieve the desired result. However, minor corrections can be performed using a closed approach.
What is donor tissue?
Depending on the specific case, the plastic surgeon may use the patient's own tissue. The most commonly used materials are cartilage from the nasal septum, ear cartilage, and temporal fascia.
After the donor material is harvested, patients do not have any visible defects at the harvest site.
What type of anesthesia is used?
Most plastic surgeries require general anesthesia, but minor corrections can be performed under local anesthesia. Local anesthesia can also be used if the patient has contraindications to general anesthesia.
How long do I need to stay in the clinic?
Based on your overall health, the duration and type of procedure, and your personal comfort, we recommend a 1-day stay at the clinic. However, the stay may be extended if necessary.
How does rehabilitation work?
As a rule, with secondary nose surgery, recovery is slower and requires the additional use of physiotherapy and cosmetic treatment methods to achieve maximum results. Together with the clinic's cosmetologist, we recommend a step-by-step rehabilitation plan.
Is it possible to combine several surgical procedures?
Yes, secondary rhinoplasty is most often combined with correction of nasal breathing by an otolaryngologist. However, it can be combined with other cosmetic surgeries: breast augmentation or lift, liposuction, abdominoplasty. However, we do not recommend combining rhinoplasty with a facelift.
By nature, humanity is not perfect, but some people accept this, while others use all means to eliminate flaws in their appearance. Many people have faced the problem of an irregularly shaped or large nose. In this regard, rhinoplasty is one of the most common surgeries. Since the procedure involves interference with the structure of the respiratory system, not everyone succeeds on the first try. The occurrence of complications after nose correction or patient dissatisfaction necessitate repeat rhinoplasty.

FAQ
In such an area as plastic surgery, prices depend on a number of factors: the level of the clinic, equipment, operations, and most importantly, the qualifications of the surgeon. One thing is for sure - this is not a case where you need to save money. After all, you can get to an unprofessional surgeon and get at least ugly scars and stitches, and at most a low-quality operation, which will then have to be redone by a professional.

Why Ukrainians turn to plastic surgeons – a survey of Dmytro Slosser's audience
Last week, I conducted a brief survey among my followers on Instagram using the Stories feature. Each question received a different number of responses, but on average, approximately 400 respondents participated. The purpose of this survey was quite simple: to understand what motivates people to undergo cosmetic surgery today. The results confirmed my own observations.
