What is the best way to determine if a PS is an expert at revision rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty in the african american patient
Feb 25, 2019
Dear Patient,
your question is very valid and important. It has become almost impossible to understand which surgeon is truly specialized in a certain segment of facial plastic surgery. It seems like everyone is the world´s greates expert, when you read social media and the like. Increasingly I find that patients obtain more than one opinion e.g. from an experienced and reputable otolaryngologist who does not engage in cosmetic rhinoplasty himself about recommendations of …
Can a nasal cast be removed as early as four days after surgery?
Early removal of cast after rhinoplasty
Nov 16, 2018
Early removal of a cast can certainly be the right thing to do, depending on what was performed. When a hump is removed and the nasal bones remained stable during the process, I also tend to remove the cast early, sometimes on day 3. Early removal of your cast may be an indicator that your surgeon was able to correct the shape of your nose with particularly soft techniques, so this may be more a reassuring rather than a concerning thing for you.
How difficult to do lateral crural strut grafts with fascia graft for thin skin?
Endonasal Revision of firm tip
Dec 31, 2017
Dear Patient:
Alar strut grafts may be too firm and render the nal tip rigid. In combination with residual swelling of the tissues, your nasal tip may feel hard. Alar strut grafts can be revised and, if needed, replaced through an endonasal approach. Depending on the needed changes, this may even be done under local anaesthesia – together with fascial grafting.

1 year post-op: Unhappy and disappointed, wish I had never done this – options?
Your revision rhinoplasty
May 15, 2017
Hi,
in principle, most changes are reversible. When it comes to bringing down an upturned nasal tip and / or other changes, it is important to balance the need for extensive grafting with the goal not to create a stiff nose. The endonasal approach may be preferable in these cases, at least in my hands. Imaging is certainly helpful to understand your goals and to see if they can be met. Best regards, Holger G. Gassner, MD, Regensburg, Germany
Concealment of Grafts — Ear Perichondrium and Rib Perichondrium Layered
Concealement
May 15, 2017
Hi,
the choice of the right transplant material for camouflage is important. Often, the surgeon decides during the case which material is best suited. Options inlcude thin fascia from the temporalis muscle or from other sources, perichondrium, diced cartilage and many more. I would advise not to get too involved in your surgeons´s decision. Key is you have confidence and trust she / he will make the right choice at the time of surgery. Best regards, Holger Gassner, MD, Regensburg, Germany
Don’t like the shape of my nose after surgery.
Revision rhinoplasty
May 12, 2017
Your nose looks contracted and sceletonized on the photos. It would be important to very diligently examine your nose, especially the skin. In principle, it should be possible to revise your nose, make it look more harmonious and less “operated”. Grafting e.g. of ear cartilage may be required to obtain the result you desire.
My tip is still bulbous after Rhinoplasty, can it be refined?
Your nasal tip
May 12, 2017
Your nasal tip does look large, round and turned downward on the photo. Some of this may still be edema. If you have phases with less swelling, this would be an indicator that your tip may still become smaller. A thorough evaluation can be done after about 10 months. Revision of your tip may include turning it slightly up, making it appear less round and less wide. This can be done through an endonasal approach. For now I would advise to be patient and re-assess in 3 – 4 months.
