Revision Rhinoplasty in Palo Alto, CA

A successful revision rhinoplasty is entirely dependent on your surgeon’s skill level. When patients need to revise a previous nose job—especially in complex cases where the nasal structure must be expertly rebuilt—they are referred to Dr. Mehta for his extensive skill, expertise, and artistry.

Surgical Precision When It Matters Most

While rhinoplasty is the most challenging plastic surgery, a revision rhinoplasty is even more complex. There is scarring to contend with, there may be limited tissue to reshape, and there are emotional challenges as well.

Due to all these factors, your surgeon’s experience becomes absolutely paramount if you need a second nose job. Dr. Mehta has an international reputation for his rhinoplasty expertise, with patients routinely coming to Palo Alto from around the globe to seek his care.

Revision Expertise You Can Trust

When you’re unhappy with the cosmetic or functional outcome of a nose job, it can be extremely distressing. Dr. Mehta understands the many emotions that patients feel in these situations. In addition to knowing how to approach even the most complex revision nose job procedures, he’s also adept at putting you at ease and restoring your hope in a successful procedure.

When is Revision Rhinoplasty Necessary?

Because rhinoplasty is such a precise procedure, if your primary surgeon misjudges the bone and cartilage that must be removed, you may face a variety of undesirable outcomes.

For example, if your primary surgeon removes too much tissue, your nose will lose its structure.

If too little tissue is removed, your nose may be under-corrected and you may remain unhappy with the aesthetics. And finally, irregularities in the healing process are difficult to predict and may impact your results.

In all of these scenarios and many more, Dr. Mehta can provide the results you want for your nose, both aesthetically and functionally.
