Male in his 20s who underwent Revision Rhinoplasty by Dr. Narasimhan years after 2 previous rhinoplasties by another surgeon.

Revision surgery can correct a variety of problems caused by a previous rhinoplasty performed by an inexperienced or unqualified surgeon. These problems often include:
Dr. Narasimhan performs revision procedures for ethnic rhinoplasty patients whose surgeon may not have had the necessary expertise to use the customized techniques needed for these surgeries.
Because revision procedures are complex, preparation is essential. Here are some helpful tips:
Dr. Narasimhan performs revision rhinoplasty as an outpatient procedure using local anesthetic with sedation or general anesthetic. While primary rhinoplasty takes about 1 to 2 hours to perform, revision rhinoplasty takes longer due to its complexity.
Dr. Narasimhan uses the open technique because it allows him to see and directly access the internal structures of the nose. During revision surgery, Dr. Narasimhan may need to remove scar tissue. If the nasal structures such as the bridge or tip need rebuilding, he may use cartilage from one of your ears, ribs, or a frozen rib graft.
After making the desired adjustments, Dr. Narasimhan closes the incision with fine sutures and covers the nose with gauze and a bandage. He often places a splint over the nose to protect it in the early stages of healing.

The length and specifics of recovery after revision rhinoplasty vary between patients and with the details of the surgery. Swelling and bruising may be more pronounced than after the previous surgery, but this is not always the case. Regardless, swelling peaks over the first 6 weeks and then gradually dissipates. Dr. Narasimhan will give you post-op instructions to follow closely regarding:
Your recovery and results will be directly affected by how strictly you follow your post-op instructions.
