You're : You're right that revision rhinoplasty is generally more complicated than the original surgery. In the right hands i wouldn't say that it is more risky, per se. The surgery may be more involved and may require harvesting cartilage from other locations (ear, rib), though.

This : This is a very good question for several reasons. If there are major changes necessary, than a greater reconstructive component may be necessary, then there will be more time required for surgery. Additionally, you are not dealing with pristine tissues and tissue planes so additional difficulties are encountered when operating through scar tissue. If the changes are minor, then there are small risks. Often these risks (primary versus revision) become nearly equal when you have a provider who specializes in revision procedures. All the best, james m. Ridgway, md.

Revision Rhino: Revision rhino is always more risky than primary surgery as there is more scar tissue build up and the blood supply is not as good as it used to be. Not all rhinoplasty surgeons do revision rhinoplasty. It is a risky but sacred field where few endeavor and even fewer get great results.

Revision: Rhinos are usually harder. They should be very problem focused and specific in treatment. Good results can be obtained.
