I am considering having a revision rhinoplasty cause I've developed a pollybeak deformity. I have an acquaintance who works as an assistant to a plastic surgeon and he told me that the surgery is a much simpler process that can happen with local anesthesia, it takes less time to heal and that the overall cost of the procedure is significantly smaller than a full nosejob. I can't afford a second nosejob but if this is really the case I would like to look into it. Is there any truth into it?

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty costs and recovery
The amount of work in a revision rhinoplasty can be either quite simple or very extensive depending upon what was done to your nose previously and what additional alterations you would like achieved. If it is something as simple as just taking down a small pollybeak and not doing anything else to the nose, then this procedure can often be done under local anesthesia with minimal costs and downtime. However, if other changes need to be made like correcting a hanging tip which you might have or narrowing the mid third or correcting irregularities, other efforts and costs might be involved. I hope this information helps.

Answer: Polly beak deformity
A Polly beak correction is a combination of reducing the prominence of the septum as well as possibly increasin the projection of the tip. The first of these is relatively straightforward whereas the second may be more complicated if using a graft. Go in for a consultation and discuss your options and the costs involved.
