Primary (First-Time) Rhinoplasty: Key Facts

Definition. Primary rhinoplasty is a first-time nose surgery on tissue that has not been previously operated on. It is generally more predictable than revision because the anatomy is intact.

What primary rhinoplasty can address

Primary cases are planned with 3D CT analysis and designed around each individual's facial proportions, with the aim of a natural result.

A well-planned first surgery is the most reliable way to reduce the chance of needing a revision later. — Dr. Daehee Han, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
