Getting Revision Septorhinoplasty, Should I be Nervous About Outcome, It's a Different Doctor?

Hi, I am a UK 39 old man and had open rhinoplasty 12month ago. The op was not a success and the company I went with are willing for me to have revision but with septorhinoplasty as my nose is bent. The surgeon who failed to do my nose has now left and a new surgeon who is very experienced in ENT is carrying out the revision. All my swelling seems to have gone, but the tip is still a little round and fat and seems a little swollen still. I am nervous and was wondering is he okay to perform the op

Plastic Surgery "Companies": A New Dilemna

Although you may do just fine with your recently "assigned" Surgeon, and his credentials may be impeccable, it is always a good idea to get a few opinions, particularly when considering revision surgery.
