There are many reasons why a rhinoplasty may need to be redone. The reasons may either be due to appearance or problems with nasal function. These indications may be a cosmetic or functional problem. Reasons for a revision rhinoplasty procedure include: open roof deformity, inverted V deformity and pollybeak deformity.

Open roof deformity sometimes occurs after the nasal hump has been taken out. Fractures of the nasal bones close the open roof. Or, in some instances, a dorsal cartilage graft improves an open roof deformity.

Inverted V deformities can occur when the upper lateral cartilages of the nose collapse. Your physician should pinpoint the deformity’s cause and plan proper treatment accordingly.

Pollybeak deformities may be caused by from unsatisfactory tip projection, less-than-adequate dorsal hump reduction, or even by scar tissue. Your surgeon can find out why the deformity exists and correct it.

Other problems can occasionally occur with rhinoplasty surgeries. Correction procedures are extremely complex and require the skills of a highly trained and experienced cosmetic surgeon.
