Mastering the Art of Revision

As a premier facial specialist, Dr. Torkian has performed countless revision rhinoplasties to a great result, testifying to his unrelenting skill and ability. If you received a nose job from a previous surgeon and are unhappy with the results, Dr. Torkian may be the perfect fit to give you the nose you wanted the first time around with revision rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills

What Is Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose surgery. It may address:

  • Breathing difficulties caused by structural issues
  • Asymmetry or irregularities in the nose’s shape
  • Over- or under-correction from the initial surgery
  • Scar tissue buildup affecting the nose’s appearance or function

This procedure is often more complex than primary rhinoplasty due to scar tissue and changes in nasal anatomy. Dr. Torkian uses advanced techniques and a personalized approach to restore both form and function, helping patients achieve balanced, natural-looking results.

Understanding Why Revision Rhinoplasty Is More Complex

Revision rhinoplasty is often referred to as one of the most technically demanding cosmetic surgeries. After a previous nose job, the nasal anatomy has been altered, sometimes significantly. There may be scar tissue, cartilage loss, skin thinning, or structural changes that make surgical planning far more complex than in a primary rhinoplasty.

At our Beverly Hills revision rhinoplasty center, Dr. Torkian uses his extensive training and decades of experience to correct both functional and aesthetic issues that occurred during the first surgery. Whether you're facing breathing problems or simply unhappy with the appearance of your nose, revision nose surgery demands a high level of expertise and precision to get it right the second time.

Dr. Torkian's Commitment to Functional Excellence in Revision Rhinoplasty

As a board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Torkian has complete control over nasal functionality in every revision nose surgery delivered.

In some cases, he can even improve a patient’s breathing by correcting a deviated septum or some other functional flaw.

Even though patients’ first concern may be their nose’s appearance, they often get the valuable secondary benefit of smooth, comfortable breathing. In some cases, however, patients come to Dr. Torkian because their breathing worsened after a previous rhinoplasty.

In such a case, Dr. Torkian can improve the nasal airway without altering the nose’s appearance. One of Dr. Torkian’s primary practice philosophies is that shortcuts are never beneficial.

After examining the exact issue, his approach is comprehensive and thorough, ensuring the positive results last a lifetime.

If a previous nose job has left you unable to properly breathe through your nose, it may be time to consider scheduling a call with Dr Torkian’s Revision Rhinoplasty Beverly Hills Center (310) 652-6673.

Revision Rhinoplasty: Open and Closed Incisions

The nose is a complicated anatomy, and as a rhinoplasty requires an aesthetic approach to sculpting, the procedure is among the most challenging of all plastic surgery procedures.

After a primary rhinoplasty, some patients experience breathing difficulties, or the final result is uneven too large, too small, or other aesthetic problems. Noses may heal improperly or shift while healing. In these cases, our revision rhinoplasty Beverly Hills Center can correct any problems associated with primary surgery.

The two types of incisions are called “open” and “closed.” Closed incisions are placed through the nostrils, with corrections performed from within the structure.

If the initial surgery was complex and requires a more thorough correction, an open incision, which is a small, thin cut at the base of the bridge between nostrils, gives Dr. Torkian more access to the structure to correct any problem. Both surgical techniques require about the same recovery time.

Common Reasons for Revision Nose Surgery

Patients seek revision rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills for a variety of reasons, some functional, some cosmetic, and many a combination of both. The most common concerns include:

  • Pinched or collapsed nasal tip
  • Breathing obstruction due to internal valve collapse
  • Crooked or asymmetrical nasal bridge
  • Over-reduction (nose appears too small or unnatural)
  • Excessive scarring from previous surgery
  • Nasal hump recurrence
  • Nostrils that are uneven or overly narrowed

Dr. Torkian specializes in restoring balance, proportion, and function through highly tailored revision nose jobs, always with a focus on natural-looking results.

Why “Botched” Nose Jobs Require a Specialist

Not all plastic surgeons are equipped to handle revision rhinoplasty. This is a field that demands not just technical skill, but also deep anatomical knowledge, aesthetic intuition, and surgical artistry. Many patients come to Dr. Torkian after being told by other surgeons that nothing more can be done, or worse, after another failed attempt at correction.

As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist, Dr. Torkian has built a reputation as a top choice for revision rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills. His advanced techniques allow him to rebuild structure, improve function, and refine appearance even in difficult or highly complex cases.

What Is the Right Timing for Revision Rhinoplasty?

Many patients are eager to fix a poorly done nose job, but timing is critical. Dr. Torkian generally recommends waiting at least 12 months after your original rhinoplasty before undergoing revision surgery. This allows swelling to fully resolve and the nasal tissues to stabilize, providing a clearer surgical landscape.

If you’re unsure whether you’re ready for a revision nose job in Beverly Hills, Dr. Torkian can assess your healing progress and advise on the safest, most effective timing for your procedure.

Is a Third or Fourth Rhinoplasty Possible?

Yes, although increasingly complex, it is possible to undergo a third or even fourth rhinoplasty. Dr. Torkian regularly treats patients who have had multiple previous nose surgeries and are still unsatisfied with either the appearance or functionality of their noses. With the right technique and careful planning, improvement is possible, even when hope feels lost.

How Much Does Revision Rhinoplasty Cost?

Regardless of the amount of work necessary to achieve the desired outcome, revision rhinoplasty costs vary greatly. Anesthesia, clinic, location, and insurance coverage are among the many things that determine overall rhinoplasty costs. It is highly unlikely for insurance to cover procedures that lack functional improvements. Payment arrangements and flexible financing terms may be available. Prospective patients can learn of their exact Torkian Facial Plastic Surgery revision rhinoplasty costs by scheduling a consultation.

Revision Rhinoplasty FAQs

Why should I consider revision rhinoplasty?

How safe is revision rhinoplasty?

What should I expect for my revision rhinoplasty recovery?

Why should I consider revision rhinoplasty?

If you are unhappy with how your nose has healed or aged after your last rhinoplasty procedure, you could benefit from revision rhinoplasty. In most cases, poor outcomes and errors from past nose job surgeries are fixable with revision surgery.

How safe is revision rhinoplasty?

Revisional surgeries are more complex than standard rhinoplasty. Yet, nose job repair surgery is among the safest cosmetic procedures performed today. Additional risks are associated with revision rhinoplasty, such as excess scar tissue, healing impairments, damaged blood vessels, decreased sensitivity, and additional correction surgeries. Interested parties can learn about their unique risks and suitability by scheduling a rhinoplasty consultation.

What should I expect for my revision rhinoplasty recovery?

Complete revision rhinoplasty recovery usually takes several months to one year. It’s common for some patients to have shorter or longer recovery times. During the first phase of recovery, there will be some mild bruising, swelling, discoloration, and soreness. Patients return to the clinic after a week to have their results assessed and bandages removed. At this point, most revision rhinoplasty patients feel well and recovered enough to return to work or school. Strenuous, high impact, and certain activities are to be avoided until medically cleared to resume, usually around the four-to-six-week mark after revision rhinoplasty. Clear guidelines for revision rhinoplasty recovery that minimize the likelihood of injuries, complications, and issues that could tarnish patient recovery and outcome are addressed during the consultation and before scheduling the procedure. If you are considering revision rhinoplasty in California and you have more questions about revision rhinoplasty than those addressed above, call (424) 392-7417.
