Hi. When I was 19, I had a nose job the doctor gave me a small short and pointy tip. I need revision and I would like to come to the USA before I make the journey to America.
I need to find out how risky is it? I have seen some before and after photos of some doctors but not sure who is the best doctor in America. I need to know the doctors and whose work is the best. PLEASE HELP

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty There are many surgeons with a great focus on rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty in USA. First you should check their credentials and make sure they have a good number of before/after photos so you can judge their work and compatibility of their sense of aesthetics with yours. Rhinoplasty should be the main surgery that they perform, not breast, body or even other facial surgeries as nasal surgery in modern age has become almost a sub- subspecialty. At last, it is your rapport, personal connection and sense of care that you feel with your doctor that could be different for different patients with different doctors. If you are interested to know just from an academic standpoint, Dr. Dean Toriumi in Chicago has probably contributed the most in advancing the field in recent decades.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty Candidates Kazim Good candidates for revision rhinoplasty have realistic expectations regarding the potential improvements. Some patients may want their breathing improved, asymmetries improved, nasal tip refinement or changes to their nasal bones. Every revision rhinoplasty is different. In some cases small subtle changes are all that is needed. Other cases may be more extensive requiring grafting of cartilage from the ear or rib. Previous operative notes, photos from prior to the initial procedure and a physical exam are used to determine the extent of work needed and possible improvements. Providing the operative note and photos prior to the consultation can be helpful to determine if you are an appropriate revision rhinoplasty candidate. Best of luck, Dr. Kaniff
