Revision Rhinoplasty London

Revision Rhinoplasty London

Dr. Onur Gilleard

Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, is a corrective surgical procedure performed to address unsatisfactory results from a previous nose job. For many patients in London and across the UK, the decision to undergo revision rhinoplasty comes after experiencing functional issues, aesthetic concerns, or both following their primary procedure. Common reasons for seeking revision rhinoplasty include breathing difficulties, asymmetry, collapsed nasal structures, or simply dissatisfaction with the cosmetic outcome. Unlike primary rhinoplasty, revision procedures are inherently more complex due to altered nasal anatomy, scar tissue, and potential structural weaknesses from the previous surgery. The complexity increases with each subsequent procedure, making it crucial to select a highly specialised surgeon for revision work. Approximately 5-10% of rhinoplasty patients seek revision surgery, highlighting the technical challenges of primary rhinoplasty. Timing is essential when considering revision rhinoplasty. Most specialists recommend waiting at least 12 months after the initial procedure to allow for complete healing and resolution of swelling. This waiting period ensures that the surgeon can accurately assess the final result and develop an appropriate surgical plan for revision. Patients experiencing severe functional issues such as nasal obstruction may be candidates for earlier intervention, but this is evaluated on a case-by-case basis by experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeons.

Can I do revision rhinoplasty after 3 months?

Can I do revision rhinoplasty after 3 months?

Dr Arda Kucukguven

Rhinoplasty recovery follows a predictable yet highly individual timeline that extends well beyond the initial healing phase. During the first week post-surgery, patients typically experience significant swelling, bruising, and discomfort. By the end of the first month, while external splints and stitches have been removed, internal healing is only beginning. At 2 months post rhinoplasty, patients often feel their nose looks acceptable for social situations, though substantial internal healing continues. The 3-month mark represents an important milestone in rhinoplasty recovery, but it's crucial to understand that your nose is still very much in a transitional state. At this stage, approximately 60-70% of swelling has typically resolved, particularly in the bridge area. However, the nasal tip—which contains more sebaceous glands and thicker skin—retains significant swelling that can mask the final result. Many patients experience fluctuating swelling at this stage, with some days looking better than others. This is entirely normal and often relates to factors such as sodium intake, physical activity, and sleep position. While your nose may appear dramatically improved from your pre-surgical appearance, the refinement process continues internally as tissues remodel and adapt to their new structure.

Can I have revision rhinoplasty after 6 months?

Can I have revision rhinoplasty after 6 months?

Dr Arda Kucukguven

While technically possible, revision rhinoplasty is generally not recommended at the 6-month mark as your nose is still actively healing. Most UK specialists advise waiting 12-18 months after primary rhinoplasty to allow complete resolution of swelling (70-80% subsides by 6 months, but the remaining 20-30% takes longer). Revision procedures carry higher risks than primary rhinoplasty and typically cost £7,000-£15,000 in London. For optimal results, choose a surgeon specializing specifically in revision cases, set realistic expectations, and understand that improvements rather than perfection should be the goal, particularly for complex revisions.
