Does Revision Rhinoplasty Have to be Open? Answered by Dr. Albert
"A common misconception is that complex revision rhinoplasty can only be performed open. This is not the case. I perform 100% of rhinoplasty closed whether a patient has had 1 rhinoplasty before or 5. There are no maneuvers or techniques that can be done open that can't be done closed, and performing these procedures closed allows for less bruising, swelling, and overall downtime while minimizing some risks that come with open rhinoplasty."
- Dr. Mark G. Albert, Plastic Surgeon

How Soon Can I Have My Revision Rhinoplasty Done in NYC?
The timing for a revision rhinoplasty varies depending on individual circumstances and the extent of healing from the original procedure. Generally, it's advisable to wait at least a year after the initial rhinoplasty to allow the nose to fully heal and the swelling to subside. This waiting period allows for a more accurate assessment of the results and ensures that any adjustments made during the revision surgery are based on stable tissue. Consulting with Dr. Albert will provide personalized guidance on the ideal timing for your revision rhinoplasty, ensuring optimal outcomes.
How Often Do People Need a Revision Rhinoplasty?
Per studies, it's estimated that between 5% to 15% of rhinoplasty procedures may require revision. While rhinoplasty is generally considered a safe and effective procedure for enhancing the appearance and function of the nose, there are instances where patients may not achieve their desired results or experience complications that necessitate revision surgery. One notable example is the case of Priyanka Chopra, a prominent Hollywood actress, who reportedly underwent rhinoplasty that did not yield the desired outcome. Despite her initial hopes for cosmetic improvement, the procedure resulted in an outcome that was perceived as less favorable by both the actress and the public.
How Can I Ensure I Have a Successful Procedure?
Factors contributing to the need for revision rhinoplasty in New York City may include inadequate communication between the patient and surgeon regarding expectations, unrealistic aesthetic goals, surgical technique, or unexpected healing responses.
Patients considering revision rhinoplasty should have realistic expectations regarding the outcome and understand that the healing process may take time. Open communication with Dr. Albert, thorough preoperative discussions, and a clear understanding of the goals are essential for a successful revision rhinoplasty experience.
