Worth it or not usually depends on the surgeon
This is a question we face a lot in our practice. If you spend time on rhinoplasty discussion forums, you will leave feeling very depressed about your chances for the nose you’ve always wanted. These sites are chock full of nightmare stories of bad results and even worse interactions between the patients and surgeons. Having had a bad result already, many patients find themselves understandably bitter, suspicious of doctors, and despairing for the nose they had.

Benefits of revision rhinoplasty
This is a great question. When is any cosmetic procedure 'worth it'?
First off, let's assume there are no functional issues, such as nasal obstruction. If the only issue is aesthetics, then it becomes a value judgment on your part. Hopefully, your surgeon can help you understand what is possible (not guaranteed) for you, and what the likelihood of success is.
If you get this honest assessment, then you can think about whether the changes you seek are (1)...

Is rhinoplasty worth it?
No one can answer this question other than the individual who asks it. If a patient has a great desire for a change in their nasal contour, then achieving a great rhinoplasty result would definitely be worth it. But for the patient who only has mild concerns with their nose, the surgery may not be worth the investment (financially and emotionally). In the end, nothing can substitute for a consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. If a surgeon spends the time with you, then...

Rhinoplasty is a personal decision and needs to be worth it to the patient
One really cannot answer this question for the masses. Every one of my patients who has had a rhinoplasty has felt that the surgery is worth it to them. I think the patient has to decide what they really want and what they need. Then the surgeon has to determine if that is possible and then deliver.

Is Rhinoplasty Surgery Worth It?
This is an interesting question, but probably better answered by the person asking it. The only patients who enter my Operating Room for Rhinoplasty are those who present a reasonable explanation for what they would like to achieve with Surgery, and have anatomic findings that can be addressed with the techniques available. Rhinoplasty has many bad public advertisements in the form of numerous celebrities' strange surgical results. If you are seriously considering...

Rhinoplasty
The only person who can answer the question, "Should I get a rhinoplasty?" is you. A consultation with an experienced, non-pushy, rhinoplasty surgeon can present to you what potential changes to your nose will look like via computer imaging, show before and afters relevant to your case, and discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Revision rhinoplasty may be worth it to you if you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your nose and it is worth the downtime to have it revised. If you decide it is worthwhile to you, then seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty as it is more challenging than most primary rhinoplasties. Review before and after photos of different surgeons' websites. Ask many questions. It may be helpful...

Many Patients Happy with Rhinoplasty Results
To say whether or not a rhinoplasty is "worth it" depends on the patient and their objectives. Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular surgeries performed because it can provide balance and harmony of the face. Most patients are very satisfied with their result, however, there are always patients who envisioned their nose differently. Revision rhinoplasty is beneficial to correct small areas to achieve the desired result or to correct an ill-performed rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty can be extremely effective
Rhinoplasty is a popular and effective surgery to recontour the shape of your nose. Keep in mind that the tissues of the nose are delicate and that a small change can produce a very significant change to your overall appearance. For this reason, it is essential to only work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has great deal of experience in rhinoplasty surgery.
