What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

The reasons for considering revision rhinoplasty are many. Some patients are dissatisfied with the results obtained by another plastic surgeon. Others may find that functional issues, like breathing problems, are not fully corrected after the first procedure. In very rare instances, complications could occur initially, and revision rhinoplasty may then be performed to address the effects of this event or to achieve the outcome that was originally intended. With Dr. Cohn’s experience, precision, and artistic eye, he can help you obtain the look and functionality you’re seeking.

You are dissatisfied with the results from the original rhinoplasty
You experienced complications from the original rhinoplasty
Your initial complications have been exacerbated by the first rhinoplasty
Difficulty breathing which was not addressed in your first rhinoplasty procedure
