Two years ago, I had septolplasty, bilateral turbinates reduction and bilateral nasal valve collapse surgeries. I’m thinking of having rhinoplasty now to improve the appearance of my nose. I know I should have done it at the same time along with the other surgeries but at that time, my main concern was to improve my breathing. If I would have a rhinoplasty in the future, would this be considered a revision rhinoplasty since I already had previous surgeries in my nose, though not cosmetic? Thanks

Answer: When rhinoplasty is performed after previous septoplasty, it is called a primary rhinoplasty.
