Dallas Revision Rhinoplasty doctors

One can have nasal airway collapse after rhinoplasty and it can happen in both primary and secondary. Most of these can be corrected through an open approach and after the use of grafts for contour correction of the specified area.

Having a rhinoplasty the second or third time is very complicated and one has to look seriously at this because one can only have so many rhinoplasties before needing significant nasal reconstruction. I would definitely seek a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that has significant expertise and experience in  secondary and tertiary rhinoplasty procedures because these are completely different operative procedures that require additional experience and judgment.

Optimally, one of the most important aspects in rhinoplasty, both primary and secondary, is to use autologous tissue if needed. These are the most challenging operative procedures that we do in aesthetic plastic surgery, therefore, it’s very important to choose an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. Find someone that has significant expertise in secondary rhinoplasty surgery as this is a very challenging and difficult operative procedure. One can never totally restore one to a normal nose especially if you’ve had multiple operative procedures. The use of rib grafts are used if there is loss or collapse of the nose and/or tip. However, it is not without its problems including potential temporary chest wall pain and warping of the cartilage itself short or long term. I will use it in those patients where I can not use any other autologous material like septum or the ear and certainly in the dorsum if I need to augment it more than 4-6mm, I will definitely use rib.
