Revision rhinoplasty is a surgery performed to correct an undesirable result following an original rhinoplasty procedure. This procedure is often more complex and time intensive than the original rhinoplasty. Patient specific assessment will determine if additional support needs to be added to the nasal skeleton, or if refining the existing cartilage will produce the desired results. A functional airway assessment will ensure that nasal air flow is not compromised, while concurrently creating a desired nasal shape. Recovery time is 1-2 weeks, although final results may take 12-18 months.

Revision Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Vancouver
The Surgical Experience
Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance or function of the nose following a previous rhinoplasty. Because it addresses issues left unresolved by the initial surgery, revision rhinoplasty is often more complex and time-intensive. During your consultation, a personalized evaluation with Dr. Arko Demianczuk will determine whether additional structural support is needed or if reshaping the existing cartilage can achieve your desired results. A functional airway assessment is also performed to ensure that breathing is not compromised while enhancing the overall appearance of the nose. Initial recovery typically lasts one to two weeks, although final results may take between 12 to 18 months to fully develop.
Dr. Demianczuk is recognized as a leading revision rhinoplasty surgeon in Vancouver. With over two decades of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, he is committed to providing personalized care and helping patients achieve their aesthetic goals.
Your Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility and usually takes approximately two to three hours to complete. It is considered an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home the same day as surgery.
Revision Rhinoplasty Recovery and Results
After surgery, a nose splint will be placed, and some bruising and swelling around the nose and eyes are expected. In certain cases, nasal packing may be used to control bleeding, particularly if the septum has been addressed. Once the splint and any dressings are removed, the nose will still appear somewhat swollen, and the final shape will continue refining over the course of a year.
