During this appointment, he will discuss your specific cosmetic goals and expectations, answer questions, address procedure concerns, and explain the intricate revision rhinoplasty techniques he uses during surgery.

What Should I Do in Preparation?
The Eos Rejuvenation team will provide you with a detailed list of steps to take in preparation for your revision rhinoplasty in Los Angeles. You can expect we will ask you to avoid certain medications and herbal supplements, stop all nicotine products, avoid alcohol consumption, and stop eating and drinking the day before your surgery.
What is Surgery Like?
At Eos Rejuvenation in Los Angeles revision rhinoplasty procedures are performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Based on your individual treatment goal, Dr. Nima may use a closed rhinoplasty approach, open rhinoplasty approach, or Piezosurgery.
The open rhinoplasty approach involves making an external incision across the columella (bridge of skin and cartilage between the nostrils), while the incisions for a closed rhinoplasty approach are internal.
While Dr. Nima is highly experienced in using the open rhinoplasty approach, he often recommends Piezosurgery as an alternative. Our goal is to make your revision rhinoplasty as simple, painless, and successful as possible. Piezosurgery often meets these goals as it is accurate, precise, and comfortable.
This cutting-edge technique involves cutting, adjusting, and shaping bone with an ultrasonic scalpel, eliminating the need to break bones or cause unnecessary facial trauma. Since it is more precise, it often results in better clinical outcomes and an easier recovery.
Once Dr. Nima has completed your rhinoplasty, the incisions are closed and you are moved to our state-of-the-art, luxurious recovery room to rest until the anesthesia wears off.
What Should I Expect in Terms of Recovery?
At Eos Rejuvenation, Dr. Nima and his team are dedicated to ensuring that you feel reassured and comfortable through every step of your revision rhinoplasty, including your recovery. As this will be the second time you are recovering from a rhinoplasty procedure, we want to take special consideration to ensure you recover optimally.
In a postoperative visit, Dr. Nima will explain in-depth the steps necessary to heal and cover any specific questions you have. However, you can expect some nasal swelling, mild bruising, nasal discharge, stiffness, and difficulty breathing in the first few weeks of your recovery.
Immediately after your procedure, Dr. Nima will position a cast that rests on the bridge of your nose. This is done instead of the uncomfortable nasal packing typically used for rhinoplasty recovery. At your one week follow-up appointment, Dr. Nima will likely remove the cast based on your individual healing progress.
Regarding your revision rhinoplasty results, you may see gradual changes in your nose and appearance within the first year after your surgery. Generally, final results are seen within one year, but can take up to three years to fully settle.

Other Things to Consider Before Getting a Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is a highly complex procedure and requires special consideration before taking the next step toward surgery. Here are some other important factors to consider when thinking about getting revision rhinoplasty in Los Angeles.
Are Any Additional Risks Involved Compared to Getting a Rhinoplasty the First Time?
An initial rhinoplasty has its own associated risks, and so does a revision rhinoplasty procedure. When undergoing your second, third, or fourth revision rhinoplasty, possible risks include bruising, bleeding, infection, changes in sensations, temporary loss of smell, skin discoloration, scarring, breathing problems, and anesthesia risks.
When choosing your revision rhinoplasty surgeon, take care in picking a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Nima, who has the skills and experience to reduce these risks.
Will I Need to Request Extensive Time Off From Work?
Dr. Nima recommends you allow seven to fourteen days to heal before returning to work and daily life. During this time, you should prioritize your healing and recovery process, which is essential for achieving optimal revision rhinoplasty results.
How Long Will My Results Last?
With revision rhinoplasty, Dr. Nima will shape, contour, and permanently remove bone and cartilage, which means your results should last a very long time. However, various circumstances can affect the longevity of your results, such as a facial injury, damage to your nose during recovery, and other instances.
Is It Really Worth it?
If your first rhinoplasty resulted in unwanted aesthetic or functionality issues, then a revision rhinoplasty in Los Angeles may be the best option for restoring your nose and readjusting it to suit your original facial plastic surgery goals.
