Revision Rhinoplasty Specialist ~ Best in the US?

As the others have mentioned, there is no one best surgeon for you. Certainly, you do want to find a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty and has good results. Equally important is that you find someone you trust, who you communicate well with.

Rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty especially, is a very complex surgery so experience is very important. You also want to make sure that your surgeon respects the functional aspects of the nose so that this isn't compromised in the process of surgery (it doesn't have to be).

The best rhinoplasty surgeon is the experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who understands your concerns and desires and with whom you feel confident. The surgeon should be able to explain the problems and challenges with your nose. He/she should set realistic expectations for what can and cannot be achieved. It is helpful if you provide operative notes and photos prior to the initial rhinoplasty. In addition each surgeon has a different aesthetic eye, so review before and after photos to see if you and the surgeon share the same aesthetic eye.
Best of luck,

Open dialogue and understanding is always needed when undergoing rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty surgery.  Both the patient and the surgeon must  develop a trust that they are both working towards the same goal.  Revisions are very difficult surgically and emotionally.  Take your time choosing your surgeon and understanding the surgey that will be done.

There is no best surgeon for everyone. Every surgeon has good and bad results.

The qualities you should search for:

1) Someone with whom you feel comfortable. Someone who is attentive and has the same goals.

2) Someone who has experience with revision nose surgery.

3) Someone who gives you reasonable expectations. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

I agree with Dr. Galitz-  almost any experienced facial plastic surgeon will tell you that revision rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging aesthetic surgical procedures, so you want to find a surgeon experienced in these procedures.

You can do your homework by visiting different doctor's websites, seeing before and after photos, and speaking with or meeting with your prospective surgeon.
