A revision rhinoplasty refers to a procedure intended to reshape the nose when prior surgery has already been performed. Most surgeons who perform rhinoplasty on a regular basis will tell you that revision rhinoplasty is quite different and could almost be considered a distinct surgical procedure. There are many additional variables that need to be considered when performing revision rhinoplasty, which is why this operation should be reserved for plastic surgeons who do this consistently week in and week out.

A revision rhinoplasty is the name for a "nose job" procedure performed on someone who has has a rhinoplasty in the past. It is performed to correct / improve the appearance of the nose and/or correct problems with breathing (nasal obstruction) that can arise from some rhinoplasty surgery.
