After the general anesthesia is administered, Dr. Westreich will make incisions in the nose so that he can reshape and restructure the bone and cartilage. Once he has completed the corrective reshaping, Dr. Westreich will close the incisions with sutures and place a splint outside the nose. A revision rhinoplasty generally takes about 3 hours to perform. However, the procedure time may vary, depending on the nature and complexity of the problem that Dr. Westreich is correcting.
