Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, is a highly specialized procedure that corrects issues arising from one or more prior nose surgeries. Patients may seek revision to improve nasal symmetry, refine results that feel too artificial, or correct functional problems such as breathing obstruction or collapse of internal nasal structures.
Because scar tissue and altered anatomy can make revision surgery more challenging than primary rhinoplasty, it’s critical to choose a surgeon with both reconstructive skill and aesthetic precision. Dr. Patt’s dual training enables him to restore form and function simultaneously, achieving natural, long-lasting results.
Patients may be good candidates for revision rhinoplasty if, after fully healing from nose surgery, they are concerned about one or more of the following:
Each revision rhinoplasty begins with a comprehensive consultation and 3D analysis of the nose and face. Dr. Patt takes the time to thoroughly understand your previous surgical history, as well as your desired outcomes and functional needs.
Using refined open and closed rhinoplasty techniques, he carefully reshapes bone, cartilage, and soft tissue to restore balance while preserving healthy nasal structures. When necessary, he may use grafts from the septum, ear, or rib to rebuild internal support and create lasting improvements in both appearance and breathing.
Most patients can return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days; however, swelling may take several months to subside completely. As healing progresses, you’ll see gradual refinement and improved definition in your nasal contours. Full results typically emerge within 9 to 12 months, revealing a smoother, more natural shape and better airflow.

Learn More About Dr. PattDr. Patt typically recommends waiting at least 12 months after your original nose job. This allows swelling to resolve fully and tissues to stabilize, providing him with the clearest view of your nasal structure before planning a safe and effective rhinoplasty revision.
No, most patients find that revision rhinoplasty is not more painful than their previous procedure. While mild soreness or congestion is expected, discomfort is typically well-controlled with prescribed medications. Dr. Patt and his team provide clear aftercare instructions to enhance your healing and comfort.
Visible scars after revision rhinoplasty are unlikely because most incisions are hidden inside the nostrils or along the natural creases beneath the nose. When external incisions are necessary, Dr. Patt places them discreetly, and they fade significantly over time, leaving virtually no visible trace of the surgery.
