Revision Rhinoplasty

If you’re dissatisfied with the results of a previous rhinoplasty, Dr. Furze’s proprietary No-Ultrastructure Rhinoplasty and Comprehensive Preservation Rhinoplasty techniques can get your nose to the cosmetic look you desire while also stabilizing it to last a lifetime.

Dr. Furze’s Ultrastructure Rhinoplasty technique is designed to change the outward appearance of your nose for cosmetic or functional purposes.

Created by Dr. Furze, his Comprehensive Preservation Rhinoplasty technique focuses on maintaining the shape of your nose.

Dr. Furze’s No-Rib Revision Rhinoplasty process utilizes non-structural bone from inside the nose rather than rib cartilage, resulting in faster healing and no rib pain.

Dr. Furze’s proprietary techniques were created to deliver results designed to last a lifetime, rather than the typical 10–20 years of traditional Rhinoplasty.

Revision rhinoplasty is performed on patients who want to revise their previous rhinoplasty results due to reasons that include:

  • Dissatisfaction with the cosmetic outcome of previous Rhinoplasty
  • Cosmetic or structural defect caused by previous Rhinoplasty
  • Breathing problems that have arisen due to previous Rhinoplasty
  • Accident or trauma that needs to be addressed through Rhinoplasty

Commonly Asked Questions

  • Performed as an out-patient procedure, Revision Rhinoplasty is a surgery performed to revise the results of a previous rhinoplasty due to reasons that include:

    • Dissatisfaction with the cosmetic outcome of previous Rhinoplasty
    • Cosmetic or structural defect caused by previous Rhinoplasty
    • Breathing problems that have arisen due to previous Rhinoplasty
    • Accident or trauma that needs to be addressed through Rhinoplasty
  • Rhinoplasty can be used to make the nose smaller, reduce the bridge of the nose, narrow the nose and shape specific portions, such as the tip of the nose or nostrils. Rhinoplasty also may be used to improve nasal breathing. More than 250,000 Rhinoplasties are performed in the United States each year.

  • Dr. Furze can perform both nasal airway or sinus surgery at the same time as Rhinoplasty surgery, delivering better results with less down time.

  • While recovery time varies, most patients only take one week off from work. Dr. Furze’s patients usually experience very little pain or nausea. A small splint will be left in place for one week after surgery, and most swelling disappears several weeks after surgery. However, some minor swelling may remain for several months after surgery, and some of the most subtle changes may take up to a year to be noticeable.

  • If performed for functional reasons, such as to correct a broken nose or to improve the nasal airway, a portion of the rhinoplasty may be covered by your insurance. However, insurance coverage varies considerably according to each insurance company and policy. Our office is experienced in working with insurance companies, and we will assist you with insurance issues.
