2-Stage Revision Rhinoplasty This patient had a silicone implant that was thinning the skin and nearly protruding. In the first stage, we removed the implant to allow the skin to heal and strengthen. Once stable, we performed a revision rhinoplasty using the patient’s own rib cartilage and DCF (diced cartilage fascia) to reconstruct the nose and restore natural contour.
After two previous rhinoplasties this patient was left with alar retraction, pinched nostrils, and significant nasal obstruction. Restoration revision rhinoplasty with rib cartilage and composite grafts from the ears were used to improve the airway and restore a natural appearance to his nose.
Before and after restoration revision rhinoplasty to create a more refined appearance in a permanent fashion. A previously placed silicone implant was replaced with her own rib cartilage and fascia (DCF) to create a more unified and balanced aesthetic.
