It is hard to know what kind of revision you will need without seeing your pictures - in general for revision surgery you should look for someone with at least 10 years of experience who performs over 100 rhinoplasty procedures a year and is skilled in open rhinoplasty and rib grafting techniques.

You should start by finding a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon. Not all such surgeons have much experience with rhinoplasty let alone revision rhinoplasty. You really want to find a surgeon who has really made rhinoplasty a focus of their practice and has extensive revision rhinoplasty experience.

	Besides finding a surgeon who has the technical ability you need someone who has a similar aesthetic as you. This can be gleaned by reviewing before and after photos of other their other patients. An in person consultation with a few potential surgeons will allow for a better assessment of what changes are possible.

It can be difficult finding a good revision rhinoplasty surgeon.  Your best bet would be to do some research on the surgeons in your area.  Take a look at their before and after pictures to see if you like the results and agree with his/her aesthetic judgment.  I know it may seem like a generic answer, but rhinoplasty is a very personal decision and the techniques can be unique to surgeons.  So see what you like and go for a few consultations and make your decision that way.

I am sure that there are many fine rhinoplasty surgeons in Arizona.  You can start by looking at the ASPS or ASAPS websites and finding someone in your area.  Also ask around your community.
