Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that can help to restructure bones, cartilage, soft tissue, and skin of the nose. The results are meant to be permanent. It takes an entire year for the nose, or for any part of the body, to completely heal from any kind of surgery. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, there will be changes that occur in the nose over the course of the year that need to be addressed to obtain an optimal outcome. We have also come to appreciate that the nose changes significantly over our lifetime, whether or not surgery has been performed. This is one of the reasons why revision rhinoplasty is performed and it is a very common procedure. Some patients may opt to have follow-up surgery down the line if they wish to further correct or refine their nose.
