Most Rhinoplasty nasal irregularities may be improved without additional surgery.
I am passionate about both Rhinoplasty Surgery and Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty. My fellowship preceptor was the first to teach me how to correct irregularities from rhinoplasty using liquid injectable silicone. This is a versatile, off-label filler that may improve the appearance of your nose and lead to a permanent improvement. If a surgeon has no experience in this regard, then his revision rate will be relatively high.
I treat so many patients non-surgically that have undergone 4 or...

Average revision rate for rhinoplasty surgeons
The average is anywhere from 5 to 15% depending upon the experience of the surgeon. Ten percent is probably the national average for revision rhinoplasty (a full secondary rhinoplasty) and minor touch ups.

Rhinoplasty revision rate
In my practice, my revision rate is below 10%. I normally tell my patients that it usually is between 10-15%. This depends on how the bones break, healing, hump regrows, more narrowing desired. Watch my video.

Usual Percentage of Rhinoplasty Revisions
There is no "usual" percentage of rhinoplasty revisions because there are many variables in each surgeon's rhinoplasty practice. National studies say the rate is between 5-15%. An experienced expert who does a lot of difficult revisions on patients after their original operation by another surgeon may need to revise more of these cases. This surgeon probably also has more difficult primary cases referred by other plastic surgeons because of his/her reputation and expertise....

Revision Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty revision surgery may occur at anytime following the initial nasal operation. Revision nasal procedures may be relatively minor or major. The nose continues to change with time even with the best rhinoplasty surgery. National average for revision rhinoplasty ranges from approximately 5% to 15% or higher. The more complicated the initial surgery, the higher chance for revision. For example, an adult with a history of a cleft nose who also broke his nose playing sports will have...

Percent of revisions in rhinoplasty practices.
It should be less than 5% and these should be quite minor touch ups. Since about 40% of my practice is revision surgery from "elsewhere" this group is closer to 5% while my primary rhinoplasty is 1-2%. It also depends how how perfectionistic the surgeon is. I'm more perfectionistic than most of my patients.

Revision Rhinoplasty
Hi,
In my practice I revise approximately 2% of my own Rhinoplasties. These are typically minor revisions. On average, I don't think that >5% would be acceptable.

Average rhinoplasty revisions
This was recently discussed at a national meeting. The average seems to be around 8-10% and this includes even the most minor of revisions. Never trust someone who says they never need to have a revision in their practice.

It varies
In my practice it is between 5 - 8% of cases. But I do a lot of noses and have been doing them for a long time. Younger surgeons usually have a higher rate.
