Optimizing Recovery in the Secondary Rhinoplasty Patient.
Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am 2026 May; 34(2):329-338.

Abstract

Evidence-based strategies to optimize recovery following secondary (revision) rhinoplasty are detailed herein. We emphasize a holistic, proactive approach that encompasses the entire surgical process, from patient selection to preoperative optimization of sleep and nutrition, to postoperative adjuncts to support healing. The review highlights intraoperative techniques to improve outcomes, as well as postoperative protocols to manage pain, edema, ecchymosis, and scarring using both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods. Successful revision rhinoplasty hinges as much on meticulous planning and patient management as surgical technique.
