Rhinoplasty is perhaps the most challenging of all facial plastic surgery procedures. Even in the best of hands, external deformities or breathing difficulties may occur after rhinoplasty. This is due to the complicated anatomy of the nose and the ‘vagaries of healing’.

In such cases, when a second surgical procedure is undertaken, the experience of the surgeon becomes even more important. Dr.budun, has developed a significant regional referral practice for revision rhinoplasty

If you have had a rhinoplasty, and have problems with breathing or the external shape of your nose, a consultation with Dr. Budun may help determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.
 

The Procedure

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are primarily internal, though a small external incision is sometimes used. The bone and cartilage of the nose is reshaped, and care is taken to preserve the breathing function of the nose. Dr. Budun  is often able to actually improve nasal breathing for his patients.

Patients may expect 5-7 days of swelling in the nose. Dr.Budun   uses absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed, and uses advanced techniques that allow him to avoid packing in most cases.
