What is Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to correct the shape or function of the nose. It can be performed to address a number of different issues, including breathing difficulties, a crooked nose, and a bulbous tip.

The surgical plan will be tailored to the individual patient, and the goal is to create a natural-looking nose that functions well. In some cases, cartilage from other parts of the body may be used to augment the nose.
