Secondary Rhinoplasty – A Second Chance for the Nose You Want

If you are considering rhinoplasty – or a “nose job” – you will want to take great care in selecting a cosmetic surgeon. Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex and difficult of all plastic surgery procedures; the more subtle the necessary corrections, the more challenging the rhinoplasty becomes. Among the most important factors to consider when choosing a surgeon is the percentage of his or her patients who had to undergo a second, revisional surgery to correct the results of the initial rhinoplasty. For most plastic surgeons, this number is approximately 25 percent. (To put this number into perspective, Dr. Joseph Fodero’s rate is 5 percent, one of the lowest rates in the country).

If you have already undergone rhinoplasty and are unhappy with the results, you will be pleased to learn that you don’t have to live with a less-than-satisfactory nose. Secondary rhinoplasty, or revisional rhinoplasty, as available at Dr. Joseph Fodero's New Jersey cosmetic surgery practice, allows patients just like you to have a second chance at achieving the nose they want.

In general, a surgeon with experience in performing complex nose reshaping surgeries, and secondary rhinoplasty in particular, will be able to improve the appearance of the nose whatever the nature of the irregularity. If your surgeon initially removed too much tissue from your nose or left you with too small a nose, grafting methods may be use to reconstruct the nasal contours. Likewise, if your nose has an “operated-on,” unnatural look, a qualified surgeon can artfully restore a more natural look, even if you have undergone several procedures in an attempt to achieve the results you want.
