Why Consider Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty is typically sought by individuals who are dissatisfied with the results of their initial surgery, whether due to aesthetic reasons, functional issues, or structural complications. Common concerns that lead patients to seek rhinoplasty revision include asymmetry, difficulty breathing, or an unnatural appearance. Benefits of revision rhinoplasty include:
Improved Nasal Functionality
Revision rhinoplasty can address functional issues such as breathing difficulties, often caused by structural irregularities or a deviated septum.
Enhanced Aesthetic Results
This procedure refines the nose shape to better align with the patient’s facial features, creating a more balanced and natural look.
Resolution of Complications
Revision surgery can correct complications such as scarring, over-reduction, or asymmetry, restoring a more harmonious nasal appearance.
Complexities of Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is more complex than a primary rhinoplasty because it involves working with altered nasal structures, scar tissue, and sometimes weakened cartilage. Dr. Baltodano’s advanced training and expertise in plastic surgery make him well-equipped to handle these challenges, ensuring precision and attention to detail. His background includes a surgical internship at Johns Hopkins Hospital, training at Albany Medical Center, and a fellowship in microsurgery at Temple Health System/Fox Chase Cancer Center, allowing him to achieve successful outcomes in challenging revision cases.
Key Techniques in Rhinoplasty Revision
Dr. Baltodano customizes each rhinoplasty revision to address the patient’s unique concerns and the issues arising from previous surgery. Common techniques include:
Structural Grafting
When cartilage has been over-reduced or weakened, Dr. Baltodano may use cartilage grafts from the patient’s ear, rib, or septum to rebuild and support nasal structures.
Scar Tissue Management
Scar tissue from previous surgeries can affect results, so techniques to carefully minimize and manage scarring are essential.
Nasal Tip and Bridge Correction
Adjustments to the tip and bridge address any asymmetry or aesthetic concerns, ensuring a natural and balanced result.
Functional Restoration
Dr. Baltodano addresses any structural issues that impact breathing, ensuring both aesthetic and functional improvements.
