Are you a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty?

November 4, 2011 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question:

Are there any factors that make someone not a good candidate for revision rhinoplasty?

Answer:

There are many factors which makes an individual a poor candidate for revision rhinoplasty. In my practice I see a great number of patients who are presenting for revision rhinoplasty. When I meet with these patients the first thing that I consider is whether or not I will be able to provide substantial improvement to their nose if we elect to move forward with the revision rhinoplasty. I am not concerned with my ability to change a nose or fix a nose, but, mostly what I am concerned with in revision rhinoplasty is whether or not the second or third surgery on the nose is going to be worth it. If the changes to the nose are going to be extremely slight I may not elect to perform the procedure. Setting realistic expectations with the patients is paramount in patient satisfaction. If I feel that the expectations of the patient are unrealistic then I will also elect not to perform revision rhinoplasty. The issues of scarring of the nose and severe nasal deformity actually makes me want to help the individual with their revision rhinoplasty and gross abnormalities of the nose rarely, if ever, would be a reason for me not to perform a revision surgery as I feel that these are the patients who need my skills the most.

Dr. Schoenfeld fixed my broken nose last St. Patty's Day and I couldn't be happier with the results. I fell on my nose multiple times as a kid and officially broke it 3 years ago, so let's just say my nose was pretty messed up and useless. I finally decided it was time to get it fixed at the beginning of 2017. Dr. Schoenfeld has a great bedside manner, is honest about expectations, and exudes a confidence that immediately made me trust him as a surgeon. The surgical team at River Road Surgery Center was also excellent. They answered all of my questions, made me feel at ease, and pumped me…

5 stars

Thanks again for the most excellent work you did on my nose -- I am just thrilled (yet still recovering.) It has made a world of difference to my breathing and I couldn't be happier with the work you did! I've almost got my smile back. Best wishes -- and thanks so much again to you (and Dawn, too). Sincerely,

5 stars

Thank you so much for not only beautifully repairing my nose, but for rearranging your schedule and going out of your way to help me in my time of need. Your friendly and distinctive assistance is appreciated more than you know. Thank you,
