REVISION RHINOPLASTY ATLANTA, GA | THOMAS WALKER MD FACS

WHAT IS REVISION RHINOPLASTY?

Revision rhinoplasty is a specialized procedure that improves or
corrects the outcome of prior rhinoplasty surgery. Some individuals
may experience functional issues such as nasal blockage or trouble
breathing due to a poorly done initial rhinoplasty.

COMPLEX SURGICAL APPROACH

Reconstructive surgery like revision rhinoplasty is significantly more
complex due to distorted anatomy, scar tissue, and compromised blood
supply. Dr. Walker is an acclaimed expert in these highly complicated
revision rhinoplasty surgeries.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR REVISION RHINOPLASTY?

Candidates for revision rhinoplasty typically include patients who
are:

 	* Unhappy with the aesthetic results of a previous rhinoplasty
	* Experiencing breathing difficulties after initial surgery
	* Willing to wait at least one year after the original procedure

REVISION RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Walker performs revision rhinoplasty under general anesthesia as
an outpatient procedure. He utilizes an external/open approach with
autologous cartilage grafting, potentially from the nasal septum, ear,
or rib.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

During the procedure, Dr. Walker will:

 	* Reshape the nose structure
	* Correct potential deviated septum
	* Address septal perforation
	* Utilize advanced cartilage grafting techniques

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from revision rhinoplasty is similar to primary rhinoplasty.
Patients can expect minimal pain, with bruising and swelling subsiding
over several weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within
4-6 weeks.

TIMELINE OF HEALING

 	* 1-2 weeks: Initial bruising and swelling reduction
	* 4-6 weeks: Most swelling subsides
	* 3 months: Near-final results
	* 1 year: Complete final results

REVISION RHINOPLASTY IN ATLANTA | MARK M. BEATY, MD

UNDERSTANDING REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct or
improve the results of a previous nose surgery. This intricate
procedure aims to address aesthetic concerns or functional issues that
emerged after the initial rhinoplasty.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The goal of revision rhinoplasty is to enhance both the cosmetic
appearance and breathing function of the nose. Due to the complexity
of secondary procedures, it requires exceptional surgical expertise
and a deep understanding of nasal anatomy.

POTENTIAL REASONS FOR REVISION RHINOPLASTY

 	* Unsatisfactory aesthetic results
	* Breathing difficulties
	* Structural asymmetry
	* Nasal deformities post-initial surgery

CANDIDACY FOR REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Ideal candidates for revision rhinoplasty include patients who: •
Have completed healing from their initial rhinoplasty • Have
realistic expectations • Experienced complications or suboptimal
results from previous surgery

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Mark M. Beaty, MD recommends waiting at least one year after the
initial rhinoplasty to allow complete healing and tissue
stabilization. During a comprehensive consultation, the surgical
approach will be customized to address individual patient needs.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Revision rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia
as an outpatient procedure. The technique—whether open or
closed—depends on the specific anatomical requirements and desired
outcome.

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect: • Initial splint for 1-2 weeks • Potential
bruising and swelling • Gradual refinement of nasal shape over 12-18
months

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Each revision rhinoplasty is uniquely tailored, with costs varying
based on individual surgical complexity. During your consultation, a
personalized treatment plan and detailed pricing will be discussed.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS

For patients seeking minor adjustments, non-surgical options like
injectable rhinoplasty using dermal fillers might provide an
alternative to surgical revision.
