Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to correct residual problems from a patient’s first rhinoplasty. Residual problems could be related to breathing issues that remain unresolved, but could also be related to aesthetics, with the results from the original rhinoplasty not turning out as expected. Secondary rhinoplasties tend to be trickier than a first time procedure, therefore it is extremely important to choose a highly skilled board certified surgeon that specializes in this type of procedure.
For people who are exploring revision rhinoplasty in Toronto, Dr. Solomon is a highly skilled and meticulous facial reconstructive surgeon. Dr. Solomon, an Otolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeon practicing Facial Plastic Surgery, has a wealth of experience in the intricacies of the nose to correct some of the most difficult revision rhinoplasty issues.
One of the most common reasons among patients opting for Toronto revision rhinoplasty is breathing issues. In some cases, following a rhinoplasty, the nasal structures are weakened and over time may cause breathing problems such as nasal valve collapse. When this happens, it can also cause aesthetic concerns. Since good nasal function is imperative to a good quality of life, any breathing issues that remain or develop following a primary rhinoplasty should be addressed with a revision.
In some case, patients also find that there are appearance issues that remain to be addressed after a rhinoplasty. For instance, some patients who chose rhinoplasty to fix a bump on the nose may find that a residual bump remains after the surgery.
Since the healing process varies on a case-to-case basis, some patients find that as the swelling subsides, asymmetries and depressions appear on the nose. If there are minor problems, these can often be addressed with steroid injections. However, more major issues will require a secondary rhinoplasty, which must take place at least six months after the original procedure to ensure that swelling has subsided sufficiently.
Other factors such as skin quality, severity of issues, adherence to pre- and postoperative instructions, all play a role in the final rhinoplasty result. Although poor healing can be triggered by various factors, it often results in less than optimal results. An unfortunate, but common reason patients seek revision work is due to unrealistic expectations regarding the outcome of the original procedure.
At Dr. Solomon’s Nasal and Facial Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, he uses advanced computer imaging to generate images for the patients to give them an idea of how they will look post-surgery. By using these types of tools, expectations can be managed which in turn leads a higher overall patient satisfaction with the results and reduces the likelihood of seeking a secondary procedure out of disappointment.
Despite the variety of reasons people may seek a second rhinoplasty, the surgeon’s skill remains the main component in the final rhinoplasty result. Since revision rhinoplasty are typically more difficult than primary rhinoplasty, it is only the most experienced of plastic surgeons that are able to effectively perform the procedure. Working out of his clinic, specializing in revision rhinoplasty in Toronto, Dr. Solomon has nearly 20 years experience treating patients of all genders and ethnic backgrounds seeking to improve the appearance or utility of their nose.

Kathy Ellis2024-12-16 I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Solomon, and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the first consultation, Dr. Solomon’s expertise and professionalism put me at ease. He guided me every step of the way, ensuring that I understood the process and felt comfortable. The outcome exceeded my expectations, as I now look like a fresher, younger version of myself. Dr. Solomon’s attention to detail and skill truly enhanced my natural beauty. I feel more confident and rejuvenated than ever. I must also recognize two of his amazing staff, Nurse Maddie and Nurse Nancy who were kind, attentive, responsive and always available when I reached out to them. Thank you Dr. Solomon, for giving me a renewed sense of self! Vanessa Gray2024-12-06 I am exactly one week out from my deep plane facelift surgery. I am healing so quickly and the results are already so amazing. Dr. Philip Solomon is not only a skilled surgeon but an artist. I travelled all the way from Vancouver and have no regrets. Thank you Dr. Solomon, Nancie, and the rest of your team! L J2024-12-06 Dr Solomon and his team have been exceptional. Ive always felt self conscious about the droopiness of my nose tip, but from the first consultation, Dr Solomon put me at ease with his excellent bedside manner and willingness to answer all my questions. After surgery, a nurse called me to check in, and my recovery process has been quite smooth. Now at 8 weeks post op I feel a newfound confidence every time I look in the mirror. Nancy has also been incredibly supportive, patiently answering questions and providing reassurance as I continue to navigate some post-op swelling (which is expected). Incredible experience and I’m so grateful to the entire team! Jen Muller2024-12-05 I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Solomon. A few years ago, I had rhinoseptoplasty for a deviated septum and a nostril that seemed to be collapsing. Since the surgery, I have been able to breathe much better. I then developed a cyst deep under the layers of my skin beside my nose. It took three years of meeting with various experts to try to figure out what was going on and how to remove it without scarring. Apparently this type of cyst is very rare. It took a long time, waiting for ultrasounds and CT scans. Dr. Solomon helped me through this entire process and was able to remove it from the inside of my nose without scarring. I cannot express enough of my appreciation for the removal of the cyst. It was causing a lot of issues for me with swelling that was unpredictable and distressing. It is a big decision to consider surgery and it’s important to research who you choose to work with, I would feel confident in your choice if you choose to work with Dr. Solomon. Susan Khamassi2024-12-03 I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Solomon. I was very nervous for years to do it because I wanted to still look natural. During my consult he listened to everything I wanted and now after 5 months post surgery I am beyond happy with the results. He is very skilled and would recommend him 1000 percent ! Thank you again ! R Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is great! Makes you feel comfortable and is also good with his aftercare and post procedure check ups. Results are amazing! Irene Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is amazing! He makes you feel comfortable and always addresses any of your concerns. Results are beautiful and natural! Anna Kayden2024-12-02 I’ve had two surgeries with Dr. Solomon and couldn’t be happier with the results. He’s an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon whose judgment I trust completely. Dr. Solomon provides honest, realistic feedback and never overpromises the degree of results, which I deeply appreciate. His clinical team is outstanding—they create a safe, welcoming environment every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for future procedures if needed. Devina Dasilva2024-10-29 It was a blessing in disguise that your receptionists treated me so poorly which led me to go elsewhere. I Thank the Lord each day for not having Dr. Solomon touch my nose and perform surgery. My nose is in the utmost pristine condition and it's only because of the Lord. What a huge blessing to find an amazing surgeon elsewhere. A big Thank You to all the receptionists who were absolutely rude towards me. Had it not been for your ridiculous behaviour - I might have walked out with a botched nose job. Tina S2024-10-25 Dr. Solomon did a top notch job on my revision rhinoplasty. I am truly amazed at the results - they are even better than what I had hoped for. Even with the issues with my nose, he fixed the issues completely and made adjustments as-needed for a stunning result. And did it all "closed". Quite incredible. I'm still amazed. Prior to surgery (consultation phase), Dr. Solomon answered my many, many questions without hesitation - bc of my experience with a previous surgeon, I was quite nervous and asked many questions. He was very patient with me. The entire team was exceedingly professional - even his operative support team. 5 stars for them too. As a side note, I researched Toronto plastic surgeons for months before landing on Dr. Solomon. I've also since learned that he has an excellent reputation not just among patients, but within the medical community. I recommend Dr. Solomon wholeheartedly.
