Anatomy, function and goals
Assessment should connect the request with anatomy, skin quality, previous scars and, depending on the area, breathing, vision, bite or facial movement.

Revision rhinoplasty
Explore Revision rhinoplasty before a specialist consultation. Revision rhinoplasty addresses a previously operated nose; scar tissue, altered anatomy and limited graft material can make planning more complex. Alternatives, preparation, recovery and follow-up must be discussed for your individual situation.
Overview
Revision rhinoplasty addresses a previously operated nose; scar tissue, altered anatomy and limited graft material can make planning more complex. Revision rhinoplasty may be considered only after an appropriate clinical assessment. Technique, expected outcomes, limitations and risks vary by diagnosis and personal health. This guide supports preparation and does not determine eligibility or replace medical advice.

Points to discuss
Use these prompts to prepare your consultation. Only a qualified professional can assess an individual situation.
Alternatives and limits
Ask what can realistically change, what cannot, and whether no surgery, functional care or a non-surgical option is reasonable.
Preparation
Points to clarify with the care team before the procedure.
Clinical and photographic plan
The plan should identify the area, incisions, anaesthesia, combined steps, consented medical photographs and the expected effect on function as well as appearance.
Practical preparation
Confirm medicines, smoking or nicotine, any tests, support after discharge, wound care, devices and access to the team after leaving.
Procedure Pathway
General orientation to confirm for the proposed technique.
Revision rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty addresses a previously operated nose; scar tissue, altered anatomy and limited graft material can make planning more complex.
Technique and care setting
Ask which technique is proposed, who will perform it, where it will take place and what safeguards are available.
Techniques and devices
Compare approaches and devices without assuming that a brand or machine is superior.
Techniques and devices
Open, limited-incision, endoscopic, laser, ultrasonic or electrosurgical instruments may be discussed depending on the operation. A device name alone does not prove a better result.
Recovery
Planning follow-up and a safe return to daily activities.
What may be expected
Swelling, bruising, skin tightness and temporary numbness vary with the area and approach. Results settle gradually.
Care and activity
Do not remove splints, dressings, drains or sutures without instructions. Protect incisions and avoid exertion, heat, prolonged bending and impact until cleared.
Follow-up
Early reviews cover wounds and devices, followed by scar, sensation, facial movement and functional or aesthetic outcomes.
Goals and Outcomes
Realistic goals, limitations and outcome measures to discuss.
Expected outcomes
Discuss realistic goals, how outcomes are measured, important limitations and the possibility that further care may be needed.
Risks and Considerations
Procedure-specific risks and warning signs to request in writing.
General risks
Bleeding, haematoma, infection, poor healing, visible scars, asymmetry, sensory change, an unsatisfactory result and further surgery should be discussed individually.
Area-specific risks
Depending on the procedure, discuss breathing difficulty, dry eye or incomplete eye closure, visual change, nerve weakness, skin loss or altered function.
Warning signs
Persistent bleeding, sudden or one-sided swelling, increasing pain, fever, pus, breathing difficulty, new facial weakness or visual change require prompt advice. Severe breathing difficulty, major bleeding or sudden visual loss is an emergency.
Risks and warning signs
Request procedure-specific risks, warning signs and written instructions explaining when and where to seek urgent care.
