Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure
The revision rhinoplasty procedure may be more complex than the initial rhinoplasty surgery. Firstly, the patient's nasal structure is evaluated and problematic areas are determined. Corrections are made to the nasal bone, cartilage structure and tissues to achieve the desired result. The procedure can be performed from inside or outside the nose, but is usually performed through intranasal incisions, which leave less scarring.
