Rating: 4.5 (412 reviews)

If a previous nose surgery left you with underwhelming results or new complications, revision rhinoplasty can help restore both confidence and function.

What Is Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary nasal surgery performed to correct cosmetic or functional concerns following an earlier rhinoplasty. This procedure is more complex than primary nose surgery, requiring a high level of expertise due to altered anatomy, scar tissue, and limited cartilage.

At our Las Vegas surgical center, Dr. Kahng draws upon years of experience to create customized revision strategies that rebuild nasal structure, improve symmetry, and restore natural breathing.

Why Patients Seek Revision Rhinoplasty

Patients may seek revision rhinoplasty in Las Vegas at Cara Plastic Surgery & Laser Center for a variety of reasons, including:

Aesthetic dissatisfaction or unnatural results
Irregular contour or visible asymmetry
Over-reduction of the nasal bridge or tip
Pinched or overly rotated nasal tip
Nasal collapse or weakened cartilage support
Difficulty breathing due to septal deviation or internal obstruction
Noticeable scarring or graft visibility

Dr. Kahng takes the time to understand the source of your concerns and develops a personalized surgical plan to address both cosmetic and functional needs.

Why Experience Matters in Revision Cases

Revision rhinoplasty is widely considered one of the most technically demanding surgeries in facial plastic surgery. Challenges often include:

Scar tissue and decreased skin elasticity
Loss of cartilage support from the prior procedure
Unpredictable healing patterns
Need for cartilage grafting from the septum, ear, or rib

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Kahng specializes in these complex revisions. He uses advanced structural techniques and an artistic eye to restore nasal function and facial balance with long-term, sustainable results.

Your Consultation in Las Vegas

During your private consultation at Cara Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, Dr. Kahng will:

Evaluate your current nasal shape and breathing function
Review your surgical history and desired outcomes
Take medical photography for planning
Explain what’s realistically achievable and develop a customized plan

Clear communication, transparency, and education are central to his patient-first approach.

How the Procedure Is Performed

Revision rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia at our AAAASF-accredited Las Vegas facility. Dr. Kahng most often uses the open rhinoplasty technique, which allows full access to the internal nasal structure via a small incision on the columella (the strip between the nostrils).

Depending on your specific case, surgery may include:

Cartilage grafting to rebuild structural support
Tip refinement for improved projection or symmetry
Bridge smoothing or dorsal correction
Functional adjustments to restore airflow and nasal stability

All incisions are closed with precision, and splints are applied to support the healing process.

What to Expect During Recovery

Because of the complexity of revision surgery, recovery can take longer than primary rhinoplasty. Most Las Vegas patients experience:

7–10 days of downtime for initial swelling and bruising
Gradual reduction in swelling over 6 to 8 weeks
Final contour and definition appearing after 12–18 months

Post-op care includes:

Keeping the head elevated during sleep
Avoiding glasses or pressure on the nose
Refraining from contact sports and strenuous activity for several weeks

Our team will guide you through every stage of recovery and provide detailed aftercare instructions.
