Nose Revision

Overview

Revision rhinoplasty corrects problems from a previous nose surgery — deviation, contracture, implant issues or an unnatural shape. It is among the most demanding facial procedures.

Methods & types

• Implant removal/exchange
• Autologous cartilage reconstruction (often rib)
• Scar and contracture release

Who it’s for

• Deviated or contracted nose after prior surgery
• Implant complications or visibility
• Unnatural or unsatisfactory shape

Recovery

• Splint about 1 week
• Longer, more variable swelling than primary surgery
• Final result over 6–12 months

Approximate cost

USD 5,000–10,000+

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Choose a surgeon who specializes in revision
• May require rib cartilage; plan accordingly
