A revision rhinoplasty is a procedure used to correct the results of a previous nasal operation. Patients may have an unsuccessful rhinoplasty where they are left with an over resected bridge, a crooked nose or a malformed nasal tip. Sometimes, patients are merely not satisfied with their primary rhinoplasty and only wish a further refinement.

The aim of revision or secondary rhinoplasty is restore a natural appearance to the nose while improving function. A very detailed understanding of nasal anatomy, function and aesthetics is required to perform this operation. Often, extensive grafting may be needed to replace tissue that has been lost during the previous operations

Few surgeons take a special interest in tackling these types of operations because of their difficulty and the limitations associated with these procedures. Dr.Gantous has dedicated many years to develop an expertise in revisional rhinoplasty. He has extensive experience in the rebuilding and reconstruction of severe nasal deformities that have been caused by disease, accidents or poorly performed operations. Dr.Gantous has developed a national reputation with the use of rib cartilage for the treatment of the most severe cases.
