Rhinoplasty Revision

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Many nose surgeons are emphasizing the need for a good surgery the first time. When consumers look for the quickest and cheapest doctor, it may mean a repeat surgery. This is known as a nose job revision.

In an attempt to save some money on a rhinoplasty -which can run between 6000 and 7000 US$- some patients will return for a revision, often with another surgeon. This second surgery will cost around 7000 to 10000 US$.

Another complication to the second surgery is the possible lack of the “foundation” of the original cartilage. This may mean that the surgeon will have to move to another area, usually the ear cartilage, to find the materials necessary to make the change.

Don’t be alarmed; these revisions are infrequent - if you chose wisely and find a rhinoplasty specialist to perform this complicated procedure. Speak to a cosmetic surgeon in your area to find a provider that you feel confident will give you the nose surgery result you desire, the first time around.
