Refine previous nose surgery, improve facial balance, and address breathing concerns with specialist revision rhinoplasty performed by experienced consultant plastic surgeons.

Revision rhinoplasty, sometimes called secondary rhinoplasty, is a procedure designed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose operation. Patients may seek revision surgery for aesthetic concerns, functional breathing problems, or both.

Whether the concern involves asymmetry, a persistent dorsal hump, nasal collapse, breathing difficulties, or dissatisfaction with a previous outcome, revision rhinoplasty requires careful planning and specialist expertise.

At Emendo Surgical Group, revision rhinoplasty is performed by consultant plastic surgeons with advanced experience in facial plastic surgery and complex nasal surgery. Mr Shaheel Chummun has undertaken specialised training in rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty techniques, enabling him to manage complex structural concerns while maintaining natural facial harmony.

Because revision rhinoplasty is often more technically demanding than primary rhinoplasty, every procedure begins with a detailed assessment and personalised surgical plan. Our focus is to improve both the appearance and function of the nose, while preserving balance with the rest of the face.

Aesthetic Benefits of Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty focuses on improving the appearance of the nose following a previous surgery while maintaining harmony with the surrounding facial features. Because the nose has already been altered, revision procedures require careful assessment and specialist surgical planning.

Patients may consider revision rhinoplasty to address concerns such as:

  • A crooked or asymmetrical nose following previous surgery

  • Persistent bumps or irregularities along the nasal bridge

  • A nasal tip that appears drooping, bulbous, or poorly defined

  • A nose that appears overly narrow or pinched

  • Visible contour irregularities or uneven healing

  • A nasal shape that does not feel balanced with the rest of the face

Each procedure is carefully tailored to the individual, with the aim of improving nasal shape while preserving natural facial proportions.

Functional Benefits of
Revision Rhinoplasty

In addition to improving appearance, a nose job revision can address functional concerns that may occur following previous nasal surgery. Changes to the nasal structure during an earlier procedure can sometimes affect airflow or reduce the support of the nose.

Revision rhinoplasty allows the surgeon to carefully assess the underlying nasal framework and correct structural issues that may be affecting breathing or comfort.

Functional improvements may include:

  • Improving nasal airflow when breathing feels restricted

  • Correcting nasal valve collapse that can occur after previous rhinoplasty

  • Straightening a deviated septum that affects breathing

  • Rebuilding structural support where cartilage has been removed or weakened

  • Improving airflow through one or both nasal passages

  • Reducing chronic nasal obstruction or congestion

In some cases, revision rhinoplasty may involve structural grafting techniques to strengthen and support the nose while improving nasal function.

Every procedure is carefully planned to improve breathing while maintaining a natural nasal appearance.

Your Revision Rhinoplasty Journey: What to Expect

01 - Get in Touch

Start by contacting our team. We’ll talk through your concerns and guide you on the next steps.

02 - Consultation

Your surgeon will assess your nasal structure, previous surgery, and breathing, before creating a personalised treatment plan.

03 - Surgery Day

Revision rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anaesthetic as a day case procedure in one of our partner hospitals.

04 - Recovery

A nasal splint is usually worn for around one week. Swelling and bruising gradually improve during the first few weeks after surgery.

05 - Return to Activities

Most patients return to desk-based work within 7–10 days. Exercise and strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks while healing progresses.

06 - Final Results

The nose continues to refine as swelling settles. Final results typically develop over 12–18 months.

Procedures That May Be Performed Alongside Revision Rhinoplasty

In some cases, additional procedures may be recommended at the same time as revision rhinoplasty. These are not always necessary, but they may help address structural concerns or improve overall facial balance.

Your surgeon will discuss whether any additional procedures may be appropriate during your consultation.

  • Septoplasty corrects a deviated nasal septum, which can contribute to breathing difficulties. It is sometimes performed alongside revision rhinoplasty to improve airflow while refining the structure of the nose.

  • Revision rhinoplasty may require cartilage grafting to rebuild or strengthen the nasal framework. Cartilage is typically taken from the nasal septum, ear, or occasionally the rib to provide additional support and improve nasal structure.

  • Chin augmentation can improve the overall balance between the nose, chin, and jawline. In some cases, enhancing the chin can help create better facial proportions alongside rhinoplasty.

Frequently Asked Questions: Revision Rhinoplasty

  • Patients may consider revision rhinoplasty if they are unhappy with the appearance of their nose after a previous procedure, or if they experience functional problems such as breathing difficulties. Common reasons include asymmetry, irregularities along the nasal bridge, a pinched nasal tip, or structural issues affecting airflow.

  • In most cases, surgeons recommend waiting at least 12 months after the original rhinoplasty before considering revision surgery. This allows swelling to fully settle and the tissues to stabilise, making it easier to assess the final outcome of the first procedure.

  • Revision rhinoplasty is often more complex than primary rhinoplasty because the nasal structures have already been altered. Scar tissue, changes to cartilage, or reduced structural support can make surgery more technically demanding. For this reason, careful surgical planning and specialist expertise are important.

  • Yes, revision rhinoplasty can improve breathing when structural problems are present. In some cases, issues such as nasal valve collapse or a deviated septum may develop or persist after previous surgery. Revision procedures can address these concerns while refining the shape of the nose.

  • In some revision cases, cartilage grafts may be used to strengthen or rebuild the structure of the nose. Cartilage is often taken from the nasal septum, ear, or occasionally the rib to provide additional support and improve long-term stability.

  • Most patients return to desk-based work within 7–10 days, although swelling may take several weeks to improve. The nose continues to refine gradually, and final results typically develop over 12–18 months.
