Can a nose be re-operated on if the first surgery does not achieve the desired result?
Minor adjustments, called revisions, are occasionally necessary. It should be emphasized that improvement rather than perfection is what should be expected from a rhinoplasty. The patient should discuss the result with the operating surgeon to determine whether further improvement can be expected. Sometimes relatively small changes in a previously operated nose require more extensive operations, including cartilage grafting, than patients might think.
