Injectable Fillers – Not just for the lips and folds!

San Francisco Non-Invasive Revision Rhinoplasty with Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse

Revision rhinoplasty is considered one of the most challenging procedures in facial plastic surgery. The need for a revision result when imperfections occur after rhinoplasty surgery, or when
there is an obstruction of breathing patterns.

Most often even small imperfections are corrected by another surgery. However, now with the newer, longer-lasting facial filler materials, (Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse) we can now improve imperfections in the office by injecting the filler material to fill in the area of concern with almost no downtime. The filler is not permanent, but results can last for a year and sometimes longer.

This technique has been successful and is an excellent option for revision rhinoplasty, especially in patients who do not want to undergo another surgical procedure.

Patients who choose revision surgery for permanent correction, the concept of facial aesthetics and beauty is highly subjective. However, an understanding of aesthetic facial proportions serves as a guide when evaluating patients.

As a board certified facial plastic surgeon, my training, experience and expertise with regard to the facial structure helps with interpreting surgical goals and concerns that improves my ability to correct deformities.

The shape and size of the nose has a significant impact on the overall balance and symmetry of the face.

A nose that “in the beholder’s eye” is inconsistent with the rest of the face, may sometimes result in a lack of confidence and dissatisfaction with one’s appearance.

Surgery of the nose requires exceptional anatomical knowledge and surgical skill, as well as the eye of an artist taking into consideration, ethnicity, gender, and even height.
