Can You Recommend a Revision Rhinoplasty Surgeon Able to Do Dr. Howard Diamond's "Button" Nose?

S
SwollenMay 2, 2010

I had revision rhinoplasty to correct a few problmes from a small accident. I ended up with a very wide, crooked, collapsed nose with very bad breating problems. I know that many patients were happy with the surgical methods and "button" nose produced by Dr. Howard Diamond of Manhattan years ago. Can you recommend surgeons still willing and able to perform rhinoplasties and revision rhinoplasties using Dr. Howard Diamond's methods and to give them the "button" nose that was very popular?

The number quoted in our literature is more like 10%, meaning one in 10 patients ends up getting a revision rhinoplasty. This number is obviously very surgeon dependent. I am wondering why you brought up the American Board of Plastic Surgery? I do a fair number of revision rhinoplasties in my...

 If the secondary surgery was done in a way to support the nose, there will be little to worry about in the future, i.e., 10-20 years.
