Secondary Rhinoplasty for Correction of Deformities and Airway Obstruction
At Fairbanks Plastic Surgery Center in Salt Lake City, UT, our commitment to enhancing your quality of life extends beyond aesthetic improvements. We understand that the complexities of nasal structure issues can significantly affect your breathing and overall well-being. Our specialized service in secondary rhinoplasty aims to correct deformities and airway obstructions, ensuring both functional and aesthetic harmony.
Understanding Secondary Rhinoplasty
Secondary rhinoplasty, also known as revision rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct or enhance the results from a previous rhinoplasty. Whether you’re seeking to improve aesthetic concerns or address functional impairments, secondary rhinoplasty offers a solution. This procedure is more complex than primary rhinoplasty as it involves working with altered tissue and structures.
Why Consider Secondary Rhinoplasty ?
Correction of Aesthetic Concerns: If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your nose post-surgery, secondary rhinoplasty can address these issues. Whether it’s asymmetry, size, or contour irregularities, our expert surgeons have the skill to achieve the desired outcome.
Functional Improvements: Breathing difficulties post-rhinoplasty can arise due to structural changes or scar tissue. Our focus on functional rhinoplasty in Salt Lake City ensures that any airway obstruction is relieved, enhancing your breathing capabilities.
Nasal Reconstruction: In cases where structural support is inadequate, nasal reconstruction surgery in Salt Lake City becomes essential. We employ advanced techniques to reconstruct the nasal framework, providing both stability and improved functionality.

Secondary Rhinoplasty for Failed Previous Surgery
This 26-year-old patient had two previous operations on her nose (by another surgeon), which resulted in a scooped out dorsum and turned up tip. Rib cartilage grafting was required to achieve correction.
Secondary Rhinoplasty
This 37-year-old patient has over-resection of the supporting cartilage of her nose (performed by another surgeon), which resulted in a lack of definition, and a nose which collapsed on inspiration, with little intrinsic support. Cartilage grafts, taken from one of the patient’s ribs, were required to reconstruct the internal nasal parts in order to achieve a pleasing and functional result.
Corrective Nasal Surgery
This 16-year-old female underwent a “quickie” rhinoplasty (by another surgeon) at age 15, which resulted in a scooped dorsum and a turned up tip, the so-called “Miss Piggy snout.” Correction of these deformities required an open rhinoplasty technique and multiple cartilage grafts.
Corrective Nose Surgery
This 40-year-old female underwent two prior nasal surgeries–by another surgeon. The second surgery resulted in a pencil-like bone graft on the dorsum, and a button of cartilage in the tip. This deformed appearance was corrected using the patient’s own cartilage in reconstructing missing internal parts of her nose.
Secondary Rhinoplasty to correct post-surgical nasal deformity
62 year old female had extensive over resection of her nose in her teenage years by another surgeon. This resulted in a small nose, through which the patient could not breathe well because of collapse due to lack of normal supporting cartilage. An anatomic restoration of the supporting nasal structures was achieved using the patient’s own rib cartilage.
If you have had prior nasal surgery, and achieved an unsatisfactory result, or have difficulty breathing after surgery, be sure to call Fairbanks Plastic Surgery at (801) 268-8838 and come in for a consultation/evaluation of your nose.
