Revision Rhinoplasty by Type
Revision rhinoplasty diagnosed by failure type — implant problems, tip droop, contracture, deviation — each with its own correction strategy
Overview
A failed rhinoplasty fails for a reason, and revision only succeeds when that reason is diagnosed correctly. DU classifies revision cases by type — implant deviation or show-through, dropped or pinched tips, upturned contracted noses, persistent humps, infections — and applies the dedicated strategy each requires.
Dr. Oh has built much of his career on high-difficulty revision work; colleagues in the industry, including clinic managers and their families, have chosen him for their own revisions. Every revision begins with 3D CT to see exactly what the previous surgery left behind before a new plan is designed.

Revision Rhinoplasty by Type — FAQ
How long should I wait after my first surgery?
Generally 6 months or more for tissues to soften, though urgent problems like infection or severe deviation are addressed sooner.
Is revision riskier than a first surgery?
It is more complex — scar tissue and altered anatomy demand experience — which is why revision cases concentrate with surgeons who specialize in them.
Will you use my existing implant?
Usually the old implant is removed and the structure rebuilt, often with your own cartilage, so the problem is corrected at its cause.
How many revisions are possible?
Each surgery consumes tissue, so DU's philosophy is to make this revision definitive — a structural rebuild rather than another patch.
