Introduction: Can a Revision Rhinoplasty Fix a Crooked Nose or Other Issues?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries performed worldwide. While it can drastically improve the appearance of the nose, sometimes the results may not be as expected. When complications or dissatisfaction arise after a rhinoplasty procedure, revision rhinoplasty offers a solution. This secondary surgery is designed to correct problems that may have occurred in the first operation, including issues such as a crooked nose, breathing difficulties, and cosmetic imperfections.
