Dr. Bared’s Approach to a Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure
Patients seek a revision for one of several reasons: they are unsatisfied with their previous cosmetic outcome, they are having difficulty breathing through their nose after their previous rhinoplasty surgery, or they have sustained trauma to their nose after previous surgery. Dr. Bared’s experience and expertise have exposed him to the most challenging revision nasal cases. He has a wide breadth of experience in nasal cases. Dr. Bared’s expertise in rhinoplasty has made him a sought-after surgeon for the most complicated cases such as reparative surgical procedures for significant deformities as a result of skin cancer, trauma, or previous cocaine abuse.
One of the biggest challenges in revision rhinoplasty is the unknown nasal structure that the experienced surgeon will find during the procedure. In order, to face this uncertainty the revision rhinoplasty surgeon needs to have a large scope of experience and knowledge with many different techniques. Dr. Bared’s approach to revision rhinoplasty is to fix the underlying issues and not simply to camouflage the problem. Camouflaging the problem or deformity will only increase the possibility of further issues in the future.

Building a Structural Foundation for Nose Jobs
Dr. Bared addresses both the aesthetics and the function of the nose during revision rhinoplasty. He does not use artificial implants during surgery, electing to use his own cartilage for the revision procedure. Dr. Bared avoids the use of artificial material during rhinoplasty as these have been known to increase the risk of infection and extrusion when placed under the thin skin of the nose. He uses cartilage from either the septum, ear, or rib to serve as grafts in revision surgery.
Dr. Bared believes in building a strong and solid foundation for the nose during primary and, particularly, revision surgery. Oftentimes, the very reason patients have issues after rhinoplasty and seek revision surgery is the fact that this solid foundation was not established during the initial surgery.
It has been Dr. Bared’s experience that the majority of deformities following rhinoplasty are due to a lack of structural support at the time of the initial surgery. He often sees patients who had rhinoplasty 10 to 15 years prior who may have been initially satisfied with their results, only to note a progression of a deformity, develop new deformities, develop breathing issues, and become progressively distressed.
Contraction of the skin is normal after rhinoplasty. The skin ‘heals’ by contracting. It is inevitable for scar tissue to form underneath the skin after any rhinoplasty.
The skin after rhinoplasty behaves like any other wound in the body. It is for this very reason that Dr. Bared performs a structural rhinoplasty, utilizing cartilage grafts. Grafts serve to give the nose its new, aesthetic shape while being able to withstand the contraction of the overlying skin envelope. In revision rhinoplasty, oftentimes the cartilage from the septum is not available. In these cases, Dr. Bared will utilize either ear cartilage or rib cartilage. The type of graft and cartilage will depend on the deformity. Dr. Bared will review these options with you at the time of your initial consultation, explaining the benefits and risks of rib cartilage rhinoplasty.

Dr. Bared has encountered many different issues that revision rhinoplasty patients present with for revision rhinoplasty. The most common aesthetic deformities often encountered in a revision rhinoplasty include:
- pointy tip
- pinched middle third of the nose
- irregularities of the dorsum
- overly scooped dorsum
- retracted nostril

The Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure
It is imperative that a surgeon performing a revision rhinoplasty be highly trained and experienced because it is a complex surgery that requires sophisticated knowledge. Dr. Bared’s practice consists largely of Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty – 70%.
The surgeon won’t know exactly what they will find when they go in after another surgeon has performed work, and they must be ready for anything. Dr. Bared has this knowledge and training, and he will perform the cosmetic surgery along this general plan:
Anesthesia in a Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure
This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. This will promote your comfort and safety during the operation.
What Incisions are done in Revision Nose Job?
Your revision rhinoplasty will most likely require an “open” approach so that the doctor can see everything that was done by the previous surgeon. If ear cartilage is used, an incision is placed within the skin crease behind the ear. If rib cartilage is used the incision is made, in the vast majority of cases, in the right chest. The chest incision is placed within the crease underneath the breast in women.
Sutures in a Revision Nose Surgery
Dr. Bared will put stitches in place as necessary to promote healthy healing and minimal scarring after revision rhinoplasty. Dr. Bared uses the finest sutures in closing the wound and is very meticulous about the placement of the incision and its closure to ensure the best outcome. These sutures will need to be removed in a follow-up consultation.
Revision Rhinoplasty: Recovery Time and Results
This cosmetic nose surgery is generally performed as an outpatient procedure. That is, barring any issues, you will go home the same day as the surgery. You will see Dr. Bared in the office the day following your surgery. Generally, plan to see Dr. Bared three times within the first week following your surgery. It is imperative that you follow his detailed care instructions closely for the best cosmetic goal. Dr. Bared is very cautious to prevent infections during the initial healing process. In addition to the antibiotics you will take orally, he may have you use antibiotic nasal soaks.
These are all precautions to help prevent the risk of infection after revision rhinoplasty. You can expect to have a splint over your nose for the first week. The sutures are in place for the first week as well. Be prepared for one week of downtime from work or school, during which time you will stay indoors and avoid strenuous activity. Ice packs can be used for 24 hours after surgery to reduce swelling and pain. Give yourself time to heal properly.
The initial swelling from the surgery will subside over the first week to ten days. If you experienced any bruising around the eyes, you can expect these to resolve during this time. Dr. Bared educates patients about what he describes as two types of swelling after surgery—that related to the initial rhinoplasty itself and the second related to the healing and ‘redraping’ of the skin. With this second form of swelling, you can expect your nose to appear wide to you after the cast is removed. This type of swelling is normal and expected. It will take months before you begin to see the refinements that were made during your surgery. You will first begin to see the changes that were made to the profile of your nose while the changes to the frontal view of the nose may not be entirely evident. Your nose will appear slightly wide at first. These changes are due to the normal healing that takes place after surgery. The follow-up visits with Dr. Bared are very important. Follow-up visits will affect your ultimate outcome. During your follow-up visits, Dr. Bared may place small amounts of anti-inflammatory steroid injections in the nose to help with the swelling as well as have you perform nasal pressure exercises for the swelling.
