Revision Rhinoplasty Dallas, TX | Rod J. Rohrich, M.D.

Understanding Revision Rhinoplasty in Dallas

Secondary or revision rhinoplasty is a complex surgical procedure designed to restore both nasal shape and function. This procedure is typically performed following previous surgery or trauma and can help resolve breathing problems.

Key Considerations for Revision Rhinoplasty

Selecting an experienced surgeon is critical for revision rhinoplasty. The margin between an excellent and poor result can be as minimal as 1-2 millimeters. Dr. Rohrich emphasizes that successful revision rhinoplasty is as much an art as it is a surgical procedure.

Ideal Candidates for Revision Rhinoplasty

• Physically and emotionally healthy individuals
• Realistic expectations about potential improvements
• Seeking functional and aesthetic nasal enhancement
• Previous unsuccessful nasal surgeries or trauma

Surgical Approach by Dr. Rohrich

Dr. Rohrich utilizes an "open approach" to revision rhinoplasty, which involves carefully separating the nasal skin from its underlying bone and cartilage framework. This technique allows comprehensive visualization and precise reshaping of nasal structures.

Surgical Technique Highlights

• Preference for patient's own tissue grafts
• Comprehensive nasal structure assessment
• Customized sculpting techniques
• Septum and airway stabilization

What to Expect During Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Rohrich will thoroughly examine your nasal structure, discuss potential improvements, and evaluate factors such as existing nasal bones, cartilage, facial shape, skin thickness, and individual expectations.

Procedure Details

The revision rhinoplasty procedure involves precise reshaping of nasal structures. After surgery, a splint is applied to maintain the new nasal shape, and soft plastic splints may be placed in the nostrils to stabilize the septum and improve nasal airway.
