Revision Rhinoplasty
REVISION RHINOPLASTY
Revision Rhinoplasty (Second revision rhinoplasty and Third revision rhinoplasty) is undoubtedly one of the most challenging surgeries performed by a facial plastic surgeon. Revision Rhinoplasty requires operating on a nose that has previously been altered surgically. This procedure corrects undesirable or subpar aesthetic and / or functional results from a Primary Rhinoplasty. In most cases, patients must wait one year between Primary Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty.
Dr. Chacra specializes in revision nose job and is highly experienced in this aspect of facial plastic surgery. In addition, his expertise in complex nasal trauma and reconstructive procedures allows him to rebuild the structural foundations of even the most disrupted nasal structures.
A thorough nasal examination in primary cases allows Dr. Chacra to determine predictable patterns of anatomical variations. However, in Revision cases, these variations have been further altered, surgically resulting in a less-predictable anatomical configuration on which the surgeon must operate. Thus, due to the extremely sensitive and detail-oriented nature of this procedure, it is crucial to carefully navigate and tailor each revision case with the utmost care and planning.
Experience with these cases is a significant asset when performing Revision Rhinoplasty.
