Revision Rhinoplasty in Cincinnati, OH

What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that can repair problems which have occurred from a prior rhinoplasty surgery. The surgery can improve both aesthetic and functional problems. Individuals unhappy with the results of a previous rhinoplasty procedure and looking for improvement may be good candidates for revision rhinoplasty. As with all surgery, patients should also have realistic expectations and be in good health. During your consultation, our board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Donath will examine your nose to evaluate what you can expect from your surgery.

Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used for the secondary rhinoplasty surgery. Dr. Donath will begin by making incisions. Some of the incisions may be located on the inside of the nostrils while it may also be necessary to make a small incision on the skin between the nostrils. Working through these incisions, the desired shape may be achieved by repositioning cartilage and replacing missing structures. The surgery typically takes two or more hours to complete.

7/2/15, I was very cautious when choosing a surgeon to perform my revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty. I knew that this time around I had to explore all of my options and find the BEST plastic surgeon for the job. After having my first consultation with Dr. Donath, I realized that I didn’t have to look any further. Dr. Donath, understood what I wanted fixed. He gave me an honest assessment and a realistic expectation of what my nose would look like after surgery. He more than delivered. I am so happy with the result. Dr. Donath has such a great, friendly presence that made me feel at ease. The staff was so helpful and reassuring through out the whole process. I am so happy that I chose Dr. Donath to perform my revision surgery. I have so much confidence in his abilities. Thank you!
