Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct any problem areas related to a patient’s first rhinoplasty surgery. Also called, Secondary rhinoplasty, is designed to correct the problems that have either persisted from a previous rhinoplasty or achieve unmet appearance goals. While some issues are easily resolved, some are more challenging.

Dr. Solomon, an OTL Head and Neck Surgeon practicing facial plastic surgery for nearly 20 years has performed thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Rhinoplasty surgery makes up a large portion of the procedures performed by Dr. Solomon. His extensive experience in both cosmetic and reconstructive nasal surgery is comprised of some of the most difficult and challenging cases.

About Secondary Revision Rhinoplasty

Due to the reduction of nose material left behind from the work done in the first rhinoplasty, a secondary rhinoplasty is generally more challenging than a primary rhinoplasty.

Secondary rhinoplasty is potentially challenging to the surgeon because the original tissue has already been altered, and may require reconstruction or rebuilding of the nasal framework to attain ideal rhinoplasty results. Furthermore, the original rhinoplasty surgery will have created scar tissue.

Scar tissue makes separation and repositioning of the remaining cartilage and bones technically more difficult. Secondary rhinoplasty performed by a skilled nasal surgeon, employing meticulous and precise surgical technique can often create significant and dramatic improvement in nasal appearance and function.

Secondary Revision Rhinoplasty

As an expert with thousands upon thousands of surgeries conducted, Dr. Solomon is able to assess each revision rhinoplasty case and determine the anatomical cause contributing to suboptimal cosmetic and functional outcomes after the original rhinoplasty. Understanding such intricacies comes from a career which is focused on cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty surgery. Dr. Solomon has developed a keen sense of judgment and technical skill from the variety of rhinoplasty surgical procedures he has performed.

While every nose is different, Dr. Solomon has likely treated a case similar to yours in the past. A surgeon who tells you that he has no photos or that it is unethical to show photos likely does not have results that he wishes to share. All of our patients displayed online have provided consent and are generally proud of the results achieved by Dr. Solomon of Solomon Facial Plastic, located at the Solomon Nasal and Facial Surgery Centre.

How To Achieve A Natural Looking Nose?

From a surgical perspective, a natural-looking nose has gentle transitions between each aesthetic sub-unit of the nose: the bridge, the tip, the alae, and the columella. The transitions should be soft and free from extreme angles or sharp lines. With some rhinoplasty procedures, the nose has been made to look unnatural with transitions between the different subunits that look artificial. Therefore the primary aim of rhinoplasty surgery is to create gentle transitions between sub-units and to take into account the patient’s goals, facial features and nasal characteristics.

Common Concerns Of Patients Considering Revision Rhinoplasty

Anxiety is common. The prospect of an additional rhinoplasty surgery can understandably cause some feelings of anxiety and caution. But those same emotions can actually help patients proceed carefully and find a facial cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon they feel comfortable with. Learning more about your current nasal condition and what improvements can be made will help you become more comfortable making a decision to proceed. As an expert rhinoplasty surgeon for both primary and revision rhinoplasty surgery, Dr. Solomon has the experience and skill to assess your situation and identify your areas of concern. He will help you understand which refinements and alterations are possible for your unique anatomy, through revision rhinoplasty surgery.

Frustration and confusion can also be common when considering a second procedure. Not knowing what improvements are needed for your nose, or how to proceed can be just as frustrating as knowing exactly what needs to be done, but not being able to find the right surgeon for you. Dr. Solomon provides realistic and honest nasal appraisals and up-to-date surgical recommendations. He encourages everyone to come in for a consultation.
