Revision Rhinoplasty Long Beach, CA | Keith A. Hurvitz, M.D.

Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a complex plastic surgery procedure designed to correct issues resulting from a previous nose surgery. This intricate procedure requires exceptional surgical skills and precision to address aesthetic and functional concerns from an initial rhinoplasty.

Why Revision Rhinoplasty is Necessary

National medical statistics indicate approximately 15% of patients undergo a secondary rhinoplasty to achieve their desired results. The revision procedure involves addressing both initial aesthetic problems and complications created during the first surgery.

Key Considerations for Revision Rhinoplasty

• More complex than primary rhinoplasty
• Requires advanced surgical techniques
• May involve cartilage grafts from ears or ribs
• Addresses structural and aesthetic concerns
