Revision Rhinoplasty in London

Expert correction when your first surgery didn't go as planned

Revision rhinoplasty is different from primary surgery. It requires working through scar tissue, dealing with altered anatomy, and often rebuilding structural support that was removed or damaged. Mr Whitehead's dual fellowship training and experience with complex nasal reconstruction means he can offer an honest, expert assessment of what revision can achieve for you.

Why Revision Is Different

Primary rhinoplasty works with intact anatomy — cartilage is strong, tissue planes are well-defined, and the blood supply is robust. Revision rhinoplasty is a different challenge entirely.

Scar tissue from the first surgery makes dissection more difficult. Cartilage may have been over-resected, leaving insufficient structural support. The blood supply to the nasal skin is compromised. And the psychological impact of a disappointing first result means patients understandably approach revision with anxiety.

This is why choosing a surgeon with specific revision experience matters. Mr Whitehead's training in both rhinology and facial plastic surgery provides the technical foundation needed to manage these complex cases.

Common Revision Scenarios

Every revision case is unique, but these are the most common reasons patients seek correction after a previous rhinoplasty.

Mr Whitehead's Approach to Revision

Honest assessment

Not every nose can be made perfect through revision. Mr Whitehead will give you a candid assessment of what is achievable and will not operate if he does not believe he can improve your result.

Thorough analysis

Revision requires understanding what was done in the first surgery. Mr Whitehead reviews your previous operative notes (where available), examines your nose in detail, and uses 3D VECTRA imaging to plan the reconstruction.

Structural reconstruction

Revision often requires rebuilding the nasal framework with cartilage grafts. Depending on what is available, graft material may come from the septum, ear cartilage, or in complex cases, rib cartilage.

Managing expectations

Revision rhinoplasty works within the constraints of scar tissue, reduced cartilage, and altered anatomy. The goal is meaningful improvement, not perfection. Mr Whitehead ensures you understand this before committing to surgery.

Pricing

From £10,000

Revision rhinoplasty costs more than primary surgery because it is technically more demanding, takes longer, and often requires cartilage grafting from the ear or rib. The all-inclusive fee covers the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital, graft harvesting, and 12 months of aftercare.

The consultation fee (£250) is credited to your surgery if you proceed.
