Comments about Revision Rhinoplasty Dr. Philip Solomon
Revision rhinoplasty is recognized as one of the most complex cosmetic surgical procedures. The technical difficulty in revision rhinoplasty surgery is based on the complexity in working with scar tissue and often overly removed cartilaginous structures. The surgeons goal is to try and rebuild and reshape the nose into a natural appearing and functional structure. These two cases demonstrate examples of revision rhinoplasty surgery that were successfully redone by Dr. Philip Solomon. Every case of revision rhinoplasty surgery is unique. A multitude of surgical options may exist and a patient and surgeon generally will discuss the pros and cons of each. After reviewing surgical treatment options a patient will make an informed decision regarding which surgical procedure makes most sense for their situation. In certain cases a surgeon will utilize synthetic material such as gortex or medpore to rebuild the nose. In other cases a surgeon will prefer to use a patients one tissue from the nose, ear or rib to rebuild and reshape the nose. Ultimately the patient has to decide which method offered by their surgeon they are most comfortable with. As this procedure is complicated it is best done by a surgeon with extensive experience with rhinoplasty surgery and revision rhinoplasty surgery.
