Revision rhinoplasty in Dr. Geraldo Capuchinho Plastic Surgery Clinic

Revision rhinoplasty at the Dr. Geraldo Capuchinho Plastic Surgery Clinic in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, focuses on restoring both nasal function and appearance. This complex procedure addresses issues from previous surgeries using the specialized Rhino & Beyond™ method. The clinic holds JCI accreditation, which confirms it meets high international safety and quality standards.

Expert Surgical Care

Dr. Geraldo Capuchinho Jr. leads the clinic with extensive training in plastic and cranio-maxillofacial surgery. He completed a clinical fellowship at the University of Basel in Switzerland and trained in Germany, Egypt, Italy, and Turkey. As a board-certified specialist and member of ISAPS, Dr. Capuchinho Jr. focuses on structural reconstruction. He uses his background in facial bones and tissues to fix difficult problems like scar tissue and loss of nasal support.

Structural Nasal Reconstruction

The clinic uses a structural approach to revision rhinoplasty. This method focuses on rebuilding the bone and cartilage framework to prevent future collapse or pinching. To achieve this, the surgeon often uses autologous cartilage grafts. These grafts are taken from the patient's own septum, ear, or ribs to provide strong support. The surgery can be performed using either an open or closed approach depending on the specific needs of the nose.

Diagnosis and Planning

Every revision starts with a detailed diagnosis of the previous surgery. The team analyzes breathing issues, nasal tip drooping, and dorsal irregularities. Patients can use 3D simulation during the planning stage to help visualize potential results. This tool helps set clear expectations before the procedure begins. Doctors also review old surgical records whenever possible to understand the changes made to the nasal anatomy.

Recovery and Results

Healing from a secondary rhinoplasty takes time and patience. Initial swelling usually goes down within weeks, but refined results appear around 3 to 6 months after surgery. The nose continues to change as scars mature for up to a full year. Patients must follow specific care steps, including resting and staying out of the sun. Physical activities are reintroduced gradually to protect the new nasal structure. If you are unhappy with a previous nose surgery, you can leave a request on Bookimed to explore your options.
