Why Have Revision Rhinoplasty?
There are many issues our patients present to us, but typically, revision rhinoplasty is requested for the following aesthetic problems:
- The nose looks unnatural.
- The bump on the bridge of the nose was not resolved.
- The bridge was overly reduced and collapsed (called “saddle nose”).
- Crooked or uneven tip.
- Uneven nose shape or bridge.
- Nose is too big.
- Nose is too small.
- Breathing problems after surgery.
What To Do If You Are Unhappy With Your Nose Job
If you have had rhinoplasty surgery and are displeased with the outcome, something can be done about it. Generally, the corrective surgery will be easier to perform, depending upon the situation. If your nose is too small for your face, it may require a longer procedure, as cartilage may need to be harvested from another part of your body to rebuild the nose structure. This is a type of reconstructive surgery and requires a high level of skill. Dr. Chang has been trained in advanced craniofacial surgery, and can meet with you to evaluate your individual situation and advise you about what corrective surgical technique will be required to bring about the result you initially wanted.
How is revision rhinoplasty performed?
The procedure will vary from patient to patient, but generally involves removing any remaining cartilage that should have been removed in the first surgery. This is the simplest of the procedures that may be necessary. In cases in which too much nose structure was removed, a more complicated surgical process will be necessary, possibly requiring building up the bone and cartilage structure that was removed. If the skin on the nose is very tight and stretched, special procedures may be necessary to restore a natural appearance to your nose and face. No matter what issue you are dealing with, we have the knowledge and skill to advise you of the procedures needed to resolve your problem.
Revising an Earlier Nose Surgery
When taking the steps to get a “nose job,” the expectation is that you will be thrilled with the result, and happy to see a more balanced, well-shaped, and natural looking nose. Generally, a successful rhinoplasty will give you the following outcome:
- A well-functioning nose.
- A nose that is in balance with your face, and suits your unique features.
- A nose that looks natural.
- A nose that enhances the appearance of your face.

"I have never felt so confident. Dr. Chang completely changed how I saw myself in the mirror. I was terribly self conscious of my nose from my youth and finally decided to go through with the surgery. Not only was it inexpensive compared to the other three doctors I contacted, the before and after pictures of patients were also much better looking than the others! The whole process of surgery and recovery was quick and pretty much painless. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting cosmetic surgery. It really made me a happier person." - Catherine M.

"I cannot say enough about my surgery with Dr. Chang! I had full facial Rejuvenation including a facelift brow lift and upper eyelids done 4 months ago.

"I went to Dr. Chang to correct the damage done to my breasts from pregnancy and breastfeeding. He went above and beyond to make me comfortable and to explain exactly what the procedures (lift + implants) would entail. He was extremely responsive and truly understood the look that I was trying to achieve - full, natural for my frame, and with minimal scarring. I'm only two days out from surgery and I'm already loving my results. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Chang to restore my chest to its pre-baby appearance. I actually think they are going to be better than they ever were before I had kids!" - Emily L.
