A Personalized Process, From Beginning to End

When you choose Dr. Morisada for revision rhinoplasty in Honolulu, you can expect a thorough and attentive approach starting with the first consultation. During the meeting, Dr. Morisada will assess your nasal structure, listen to your concerns, and develop a personalized surgical plan based on your unique needs.

You will be sent home the same day with detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing.

What Are the Benefits of Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty offers several key advantages, including the following:

  • Improved nasal function: Corrects any breathing or functional problems from a previous surgery.
  • Enhanced aesthetic balance: Refines nose shape and symmetry for a more harmonious appearance.
  • Correction of surgical irregularities: Addresses bumps, asymmetry, or other concerns not fully resolved by the initial surgery.
  • Boosted confidence: Helps patients feel more satisfied and confident with their appearance.
  • Personalized approach: Provides adjustments to meet each individual’s unique facial structure and goals.
  • Better structural support: Reinforces and stabilizes nasal structure, especially if weakened by prior procedures.

Revealing Your Results

Recovery from revision rhinoplasty typically involves some initial swelling and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed medications, and a nasal splint may be used to support the nose’s new shape. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few weeks. Give the body time to heal naturally. Swelling subsides as the tissues mend and regrow, with final results becoming visible after six months to a year, revealing the full, long-lasting effects of the surgery.

FAQ Revision Rhinoplasty

Why would someone need a revision rhinoplasty?

A revision rhinoplasty is often performed to correct issues from a previous nose surgery, such as breathing problems, unsatisfactory aesthetic results, or structural irregularities that did not heal as expected.

How soon after my primary rhinoplasty can I have a revision?

It’s generally recommended to wait at least 12 months after the initial rhinoplasty to allow full healing as swelling and tissue changes resolve. This wait ensures that the final results of the first surgery are fully apparent before making adjustments.

Is revision rhinoplasty more complicated than the first surgery?

Yes, revision rhinoplasty is often more complex due to scar tissue, reduced cartilage, and the need to correct previous alterations. It is not uncommon to require the use of additional cartilage from the ear or rib to correct major deformities. It requires a surgeon like Dr. Morisada with advanced expertise in nasal anatomy and revision techniques.

How can I ensure a successful rhinoplasty?

Choosing an experienced surgeon with a strong background in revision rhinoplasty, like Dr. Morisada, is crucial. Clear communication about your goals, limitations, and expectations is also key to achieving a satisfying outcome.
