How is revision rhinoplasty different from a normal rhinoplasty procedure?

Filed under: Revision Rhinoplasty, Rhinoplasty — admin @ 11:45 am

Question:
How is revision rhinoplasty different from a normal rhinoplasty procedure? Are there different techniques for the surgery?

Answer:
Revision rhinoplasty surgery is more complex due to increased scar tissue, missing cartilage or bone, and slightly longer healing period. In adition, patents are often more anxious due to their previous surgical experiences.
