	* Recovery Time: 7-10 Days
	* Discomfort Level: Mild-Moderate
	* Anesthesia Options: General

UNDERSTANDING RHINOPLASTY IN AUSTIN

Balanced facial features define true beauty. When nasal structure
appears disproportionate, it can draw attention away from other facial
attributes. Dr. Givens, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon,
specializes in precise nasal reshaping techniques that restore facial
harmony.

RHINOPLASTY CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty include men and women seeking to
improve nasal shape, size, and function. Specific criteria include:

 	* Good physical and mental health
	* No serious medical concerns
	* Non-smoker
	* Ability to safely stop blood-thinning medications
	* Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

TYPES OF RHINOPLASTY

OPEN RHINOPLASTY

An incision is made on the columella in an upside-down V-shaped
pattern to minimize scar visibility. This approach is ideal for
extensive nasal tip corrections and revision surgeries.

CLOSED RHINOPLASTY

All incisions are made within the nasal structure, leaving no external
scarring. This technique is suitable for less comprehensive nasal
modifications and improving anatomical airway obstructions.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Rhinoplasty recovery varies by individual. Typically, external nasal
splints are removed one week post-surgery, with most bruising and
swelling resolving within two weeks. Patients should prioritize rest,
maintain a nutritious diet, and avoid stress during healing.

UNDERSTANDING REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, is
performed when a previous rhinoplasty did not achieve desired outcomes
or caused additional complications. Nationwide, about 15% of
rhinoplasty cases result in the need for revision, but Dr. Weinfeld's
revision rate for his primary rhinoplasties is significantly lower, in
the low single digits.

This procedure is more complex than primary rhinoplasty, addressing
both the original nasal issues and any flaws introduced by the first
surgery. Patients often seek revision rhinoplasty after experiencing
dissatisfaction or new nasal imperfections following their initial
surgery, which can be emotionally and financially taxing.

Dr. Weinfeld, based in Austin, Texas, is frequently sought out for his
expertise in revision rhinoplasty. He regularly treats patients
referred by other surgeons and from various locations across Texas and
beyond.

HOW REVISION RHINOPLASTY IS PERFORMED

Revision rhinoplasty requires detailed attention to scarring and
changes made in the initial procedure. Dr. Weinfeld typically opts for
an open rhinoplasty approach for moderate to major revisions, allowing
better visualization and access to the nasal structures. For minor
revisions, a closed (intranasal) approach may be considered.

During the procedure, the soft tissues are carefully separated from
scarred areas, and the underlying cartilage and bone are assessed.
This helps Dr. Weinfeld reconstruct the nasal structure to achieve the
patient’s desired outcome. Cartilage grafts are commonly used to
rebuild or support damaged areas. The septum is the preferred source
for these grafts, though in some cases, cartilage from the ear or rib
may be necessary.

KEY POINTS

	* Dr. Weinfeld utilizes the patient’s own tissues, avoiding
cadaveric cartilage or permanent foreign materials like silicone or
GORE-TEX.
	* He has extensive experience in revision rhinoplasty, with
specialized training and numerous contributions to the field.
	* Dr. Weinfeld is a member of the Rhinoplasty Society and has
lectured at top medical institutions and conferences.

PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Revision rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, typically
as an outpatient procedure. After surgery, splints are placed inside
the nostrils and on the nose bridge, and are usually removed within
6-8 days. Bruising and swelling vary, but most patients recover within
about one week.

If cartilage is taken from the ear or rib, mild discomfort and a
small, well-concealed scar may result. For patients needing rib
cartilage, the incision is discreet, often hidden by natural body
folds or clothing.
