WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR REVISION RHINOPLASTY?

You may be a candidate for revision rhinoplasty if the initial rhinoplasty did not meet your expectations or goals or your breathing difficulty wasn’t resolved.

In most instances, revision rhinoplasty is challenging because of the scar tissue that formed within the nose. Scar tissue may cause thickening of the tissue, resulting in some distortion of the nose.

HOW IS REVISION RHINOPLASTY PERFORMED?

Revision rhinoplasty is performed by carefully reshaping the bone and cartilage of the nose. In some cases, there may be a need for cartilage grafts to achieve the desired goals. The need for cartilage grafts is usually determined during your consultation with Dr. Clymer.

Incisions are hidden inside the nose and sometimes at its base to allow restructuring and shaping of the framework underneath. The skin is then allowed to re-drape over the new structure, and a small nasal splint is applied to help the nose maintain its new form. Dr. Clymer does not use nasal packing for either his first time rhinoplasty patients OR his revision rhinoplasty patients.

Revision rhinoplasty is performed in an accredited outpatient surgical setting under local or general anesthesia
