If so, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Hagen to discuss how revision rhinoplasty can achieve the results you’ve been waiting for and restore your confidence.

The Revision Rhinoplasty Process What to Expect

Consultation: Dr. Hagen will assess your nose’s structure, function, and previous surgical results to determine the best approach for correction.
Preparation: Pre-surgical instructions, including dietary and medication guidelines, will be provided.
Anesthesia: General anesthesia will be administered to ensure comfort during surgery.
Surgical Technique: Incisions are made to refine the nasal structure, correct asymmetry, or improve breathing function. Cartilage grafting may be used if necessary.
Closing the Incisions: The incisions are sutured, and splints may be placed to support the nasal structure.
Recovery Room: After the procedure, you’ll be monitored before being cleared for discharge.
Aftercare Instructions: Post-operative care will be explained, including how to manage swelling and your expected follow-up schedule.

After Your Revision Rhinoplasty: Recovery & Results

Since revision rhinoplasty is more complex than primary rhinoplasty, healing may take longer. Swelling and bruising last 2–3 weeks, and a splint is worn for the first 7 days. Most patients return to work and light activities within 2 weeks, though residual swelling can persist for several months.

Final results take 12–18 months to settle fully as the nose refines over time. Due to the delicate nature of revision surgery, Dr. Hagen will provide personalized aftercare instructions to optimize healing. Results are long-term, with continued refinement as swelling resolves.
