Q: Candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty? asked by Laney1007 Chicago

A:

Hi Laney

You may be a good candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty however it can best be answered after a consultation. It is best to wait 8 to 12 months after your first surgery before deciding to undergo a secondary procedure. For tip revisions, many times minor adjustments can be made through a closed approach in order to achieve your goals. In which case your recovery period is usually much shorter.

However, if you are having difficulty breathing through your nose, which is a common concern for many patients requesting revision rhino, then you may require a more extensive open procedure in order to meet your goals. During a consultation your photo can be placed on a computer imaging program to better communicate your wishes and desires. I highly recommend you see a physician with a great deal of experience in treating the nose and revision rhinoplasty in particular. Please let me know if I can be of futher assistance. 

Best wishes!
