For many people, a rhinoplasty procedure is a dream come true. It’s an opportunity for them to change their appearance for the better, address any structural issues in their nose and to be more confident in themselves. So when a rhinoplasty goes wrong, it can be extremely disappointing for the patient. However, there’s hope for Orange County patients who are in this situation. Dr. Kevin Sadati is a highly-skilled facial plastic surgeon who is an expert in the revision rhinoplasty procedure. His goal is to fix the mistakes that were made during the original surgery, but also provide the patient with the results they wanted from their rhinoplasty in the first place.

[toggle_item title=”The Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure” active=”true”]A revision rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that aims to improve the results after a primary rhinoplasty procedure is performed. In some cases, the revision rhinoplasty is necessary because the patient is not happy with the aesthetic results of the initial surgery. In other cases, a revision is needed because a surgeon did not use the proper techniques during a rhinoplasty procedure. This subsequently caused more harm than good, and the nose now contains structural issues. The revision rhinoplasty is a more complicated surgical procedure because there is more scar tissue present and the face has already been through one traumatic event.[/toggle_item]
[toggle_item title=”Reasons for a Revision Rhinoplasty” active=”false”]There are many reasons that a patient might desire or require a revision rhinoplasty procedure. A few common reasons for having a revision rhinoplasty performed by an expert facial plastic surgeon include:

• Cartilage collapse or damage to the nasal bone structure.
• Obstruction in the nasal passageways as a result of the primary procedure, ultimately causing the patient to have a difficult time breathing or sleeping.
• Worsened appearance of the nose. Some surgeons do not complete the procedure properly and do not achieve the proper symmetry during the operation. This can leave patients feeling frustrated with their appearance after the surgery is complete.
