Secondary Rhinoplasty at The Gunter Center in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
Rhinoplasty performed by an unskilled or less-than-qualified plastic surgeon can cause more problems than it solves. Many times, patients of such surgeons experience breathing problems following surgery. They may also have nasal asymmetry and an artificial, "operated-on" appearance. Secondary (revision) rhinoplasty performed in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area by Dr. Jack P. Gunter and Dr. C. Spencer Cochran can greatly improve unsatisfactory results and restore a natural look to the nose. Dr. Gunter and Dr. Cochran have spent much of their careers perfecting the techniques used to correct nose problems caused by inexperienced or unskilled rhinoplasty doctors.
Candidates for Secondary Rhinoplasty
Secondary rhinoplasty is performed to correct problems that persist or develop after a previous rhinoplasty procedure. At times, the problems are minor and can be easily corrected, but major problems require more expertise and skill than is necessary to perform primary rhinoplasty. This is because the normal anatomy is no longer intact and the tissue planes present before the first surgery are now filled with scar tissue, making it difficult to reposition the remaining cartilage and bone. Using advanced techniques perfected over years of study, Dr. Gunter and Dr. Cochran can significantly, and sometimes dramatically, improve the appearance and function of a patient’s nose.
Surgery and Recovery
Using the most advanced secondary rhinoplasty techniques, Dr. Gunter and Dr. Cochran strive to produce noses that appear natural, function properly, and are in balance and harmony with other facial features. To accomplish this, our highly skilled surgeons must reshape the supporting cartilage and bone and redrape the skin over the reconstructed nasal structure to give the nose its new shape. Recovery from secondary rhinoplasty usually takes no longer than the healing time for the first rhinoplasty. As with primary rhinoplasty, at first some bruising and swelling will be evident following the procedure, but within a few weeks there will be little outward indication that any surgery took place.
The patient's wishes for the appearance of the nose are always considered, but oftentimes limiting factors such as skin texture and thickness, the amount of scar tissue from the previous surgery, and facial proportions affect the outcome. Each of these factors plays an important role in what can be achieved through revision rhinoplasty. In a secondary rhinoplasty consultation at our Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas office, or in an Internet consultation, Dr. Gunter or Dr. Cochran will discuss what can be accomplished according to each patient's specific situation.
