Revision Rhinoplasty at Dr. Limbourg's Practice

Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, is a complex procedure that requires special expertise and precision. At Dr. Limbourg’s practice in Hanover, we specialize in such corrections. Whether the issue is aesthetic dissatisfaction, functional limitations, or both—we thoroughly analyze your individual situation and develop a customized treatment plan.

If the first nose surgery did not achieve the desired results: The chances of revision surgery

Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging procedures in aesthetic and functional surgery. It not only alters a person’s physical appearance but also affects nasal breathing, voice quality, and self-esteem.

However, the first surgery does not always lead to the desired result. In some cases, aesthetic irregularities remain; in others, functional problems arise—such as impaired nasal breathing or a loss of stability. This is precisely where revision surgery (rescue) comes in.

At Dr. Limbourg’s practice in Hanover, we approach this challenge with particular care. With over 20 years of experience in reconstructive nasal surgery, we support patients seeking a second chance for their nose—with a gentle, solution-oriented approach and using the latest techniques.

The most common reasons for secondary rhinoplasty

  • Asymmetry or a crooked nasal bridge after the first surgery
  • Unnatural contour of the nasal bridge (e.g., saddle nose)
  • Nasal breathing difficulties (e.g., due to narrowing of the nasal valves)
  • Insufficient or excessive correction
  • Severe scarring or adhesions
  • Aesthetic dissatisfaction with the tip of the nose, the profile, or the overall shape

The causes are individual—the solution must be as well.

I am so grateful to Dr. Limbourg. Six months ago, she performed a breast implant removal and reconstruction using my own fat. Fortunately, I didn’t need a breast lift, even though other specialists strongly advised me to have one! I listened to my gut feeling, and Dr. Limbourg was right! The result turned out absolutely beautiful, even without a lift. To me, she is the best doctor. You feel so well taken care of by her. A huge thank you for this new lease on life.
