Revision rhinoplasty is performed to help enhance the appearance and improve any functionality concerns resulting from prior surgery. Consider revision rhinoplasty if you are experiencing concerns such as a build-up of scar tissue, unwanted bumps or bulges, cartilage or bone collapse, asymmetrical appearance, inadequate tissue removal, breathing issues, or general unhappiness with the results of your initial surgery.
The extent of what can and cannot be modified varies from patient to patient and often depends on your unique facial structure, skin type, and your previous rhinoplasty surgery. Consultation with an experienced surgeon will give you a good idea of what results you can expect to achieve.

Revision rhinoplasty is an incredibly complex procedure that should only be performed by an experienced surgeon. Dr. Jacob Sedgh is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in revision rhinoplasty and genuine care for the well-being of his patients.
The following revision rhinoplasty before and after photos provide a glimpse into Dr. Sedgh’s previous work and demonstrate how complex the procedure can be. What these photos fail to show is the genuine improvements in patients’ ability to breathe clearly and feel confident in their appearance. When it comes to revision rhinoplasty, millimeters can make a difference, and your surgeon’s depth of knowledge and experience is critical.
It’s important to note that each revision rhinoplasty surgery is unique. While looking at pictures is helpful, the best way to alleviate your concerns and determine if you are a candidate for the procedure is to schedule a consultation today.
Consultation
Find out whether this suits your anatomy.
Dr. Sedgh assesses your face in person and explains the technique he would use, because the right plan depends on your bone structure, skin and healing, not on a standard template.
Every photograph below is an actual patient of Dr. Sedgh, shown in the same lighting and the same angle before and after revision rhinoplasty, because a result photographed under different conditions is not a fair comparison. Individual results vary.

This brilliant young man had a traumatic nasal fracture with two unsuccessful surgeries before coming to our practice. His results were suboptimal and he was trying to hide them with the application of fillers. Finally, he came in for revision rhinoplasty with rib graft after dissolving his fillers. The results are shown at nine months following his successful and last revision.

Age: 44 This beauty was pessimistic about undergoing another rhinoplasty after two unsuccessful surgeries. It’s not about the number, it’s about the approach! She found Dr. Sedgh through one of our happy reviews on yelp, and it was a privilege to have her trust. Now, she loves her new nose six months following revision rhinoplasty with cadaveric cartilage graft.

This patient had a rhinoplasty elsewhere and came to Dr. Sedgh for a revision as she was not satisfied with her previous results and had a residual dorsal hump as well as significant asymmetric nostril retraction. Dr. Sedgh decided to use a cadaveric rib for this procedure and was able to reduce her dorsal hump and correct her nostril retraction with advanced nostril repositioning technique, giving her a beautiful refined profile and overall achieving the results they both aimed for.

24F 1 year post. This case shows exactly why revision rhinoplasty is so rewarding as a plastic surgeon! This beautiful model had a previous unsuccessful rhinoplasty, which created significant deviations, a poly-beak deformity of the tip and a loss of tip support. I performed a Revision Rhinoplasty using her own rib cartilage. Her after photos are one year post-op. Her nose is perfectly balanced with the rest of her facial features and accentuates the beauty of her eyes even more. (Note: A conservative buccal fat pad reduction was simultaneously performed to improve the jawline definition).

27F, 3 months post. This beautiful model was very bothered by her original rhinoplasty results performed elsewhere and the significant asymmetry and crookedness caused by that surgery. Dr. Sedgh performed a revision Rhinoplasty with rib graft to restore symmetry and balance to her midface. These results are at the three months following the surgery. As time goes on with these type of revisions, there will be more and more refinement of the tip area.

1 Year Post Op, 24 F. This patient’s revision rhinoplasty with application of rib cartilage corrected a hanging columella, inverted V deformity of the midvault and constriction of her external valves for a balanced, natural look. I also straightened the bridge to address a crooked appearance, creating a more symmetrical profile.

9 Months Post Op, F 26. Here we are, 9 months post-op, and what a transformation. This revision rhinoplasty addressed a major septonasal deformity, including overall loss of structure and suppoprt in the midvault and tip with addressing significant assymmetries and unfavorable contractions due to an unsuccessful first surgery at a different place. The result? A more balanced, refined look with natural projection, and best of all, easier breathing.

8 Months Post Op, Revision Rhinoplasty; Male, 35. Some complicated cases might be a longer journey. This patient’s process began two years ago (2022) with a primary rhinoplasty. The revision rhinoplasty allowed me to address external deviation, nasal asymmetry and drooping of tip with dorsal hump. The result is a more balanced look and natural looking result.

1 Y Post-Op F 32 A full year of healing, refinement, and transformation. This patient came to me with a crooked bridge and concerns about facial symmetry. Our goal was simple: create a straighter, more refined nose that brought balance to her features without ever losing her natural look. As she healed, we performed a small in-office touch-up to perfect her result. Now at 1 year post-op, her outcome is stable, harmonious, and beautifully natural.

5 Months Post-Op 47. This patient sought a more comprehensive solution after a previous rhinoplasty left her with unresolved concerns. We developed a customized surgical plan that included a revision rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift, and chin implant. Each procedure was carefully selected to lift, refine, and rebalance her facial features, working in harmony to restore a more youthful and cohesive appearance. Just 5 months post-op, she already looks naturally refreshed and aligned with the vision she had for herself. 5 Months Post-Op 47.

This patient underwent revision rhinoplasty to correct an inverted-V deformity, a hanging columella resulting from improper prior technique, and inadequate tip definition. Through precise structural restoration and careful refinement of the nasal tip, Dr. Sedgh achieved a more balanced, natural, and harmonious nasal contour. At just 3 months post-op, her results are already showing significant improvement in both form and function.

5 Months Post-Op F 29. At just 5 months post-op, this beautiful patient is already seeing the difference: improved breathing and refined symmetry from the bony vault to the tip. We also focused on decreasing the vertical height of the tip for a more balanced, natural look, an important modern concept I emphasize often. With advanced technique and years of experience in complex revision cases, many patients have not only restored their results but regained their confidence.
Photographs show real outcomes and are not a guarantee, because every result depends on the anatomy and healing of the individual patient.
