Spreader Grafts in Revision -part 3

Thanks for your suggestions. I just wonder if this can be fixed without using a spreader graft? My nose is so wide now I think it looks horrible. The last surgery was a revision and the doctor widened it. I just was never told my appearance was going to change that much. He said it would be a little wider. It really looks unbelievably ugly. I haven't heard the best reviews about some of the doctors mentioned in this area. Are you aware of any others, otherwise, do you specialize?

Spreader grafts

Revisional rhinoplasty is challenging and requires a great deal of patience on your part. You have now had several surgeries and I really believe you will need over a year to let everything settle down and heal. After that ask several plastic surgeons to recommend several surgeons, besides themselves, to do another revision. You should get a good idea from those referrals and then interview two or three. All the best,m Talmage J. Raine MD FACS

I don't know anyone who specializes in spreader grafts, but there are many excellent revision rhinoplasty surgeons in Chicago. You should not have problems finding a good experienced surgeon.

Spreader Grafts and Nasal Width

The art of rhinoplasty involves combining the functional aspects of the surgery (breathing) with the aesthetic aspects (a straight, proportionate and balanced nose) and applying these principles to the wide variety seen in an individual's nasal anatomy. I would recommend that you seek several consultations with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons.
