Beverly Hills Revision Rhinoplasty
By admin | June 26, 2009
Dr. Kotler's patient had a series of permanent filler injections - no surgery was done.
If you are not happy with your rhinoplasty, what should you do?
First, understand that an imperfect outcome doesn’t necessarily mean that the doctor did not give it his best effort or that the doctor is not adequately skilled. Sometimes things just don’t go well even in the most talented, experienced and superspecialist’s hands. Sometimes complications can occur such as infections which are certainly beyond the control of the surgeon.
Remember, however, that an imperfect result or the results of a complication can generally be improved. Sometimes improvements can take place through a series of office treatments. Certain injections such as cortisone can reduce some areas of scarring and swelling. Other injections, such as liquid silicone, Juvéderm, Restylane and collagen are used to fill depressions, divots and dips in the architecture.
Regardless of what needs to be done, be sure to spend time speaking with your surgeon as to what he believes led to the imperfect result and what he feels can be done to improve the appearance. Often the doctor may suggest a consultation or second opinion with another doctor who has similar skill and experience. This is important. There is no shame in asking for help and advice, and it is for your benefit.
Consultations are always helpful because when you go to another surgeon he has a chance to think objectively and carries no predisposition. But, remember when you do go for that consultation or second opinion, be sure to bring copies of all your records, including copies of your before and after photographs, the operative report, any CT scan or x-ray reports that were done for the sinuses, particularly if you had a blockage of your nose due to a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates.
