# Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is secondary nose surgery performed after a previous rhinoplasty or nasal operation. It may be considered when concerns remain or develop after the first procedure, including shape changes, asymmetry, tip collapse, supratip fullness (pollybeak deformity), bridge collapse (saddle nose deformity), persistent or new breathing problems, or scar tissue affecting the result. Revision surgery is technically more complex than primary rhinoplasty because of scar tissue, altered anatomy, depleted septal cartilage, skin envelope changes, and less predictable healing. It may involve both cosmetic and functional components in the same operation.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (FRACS, 2013) and holds AHPRA registration MED0001654827. He performs revision rhinoplasty for patients consulting at his Bondi Junction (39 Grosvenor Street) and Manly (Suite 504, Level 5, 39 East Esplanade) clinics. A clinical assessment of nasal anatomy, scar tissue, cartilage availability, breathing function, and (where available) records from the original surgery is required before any revision decision is made.
