Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Revision

Nose surgery (“rhinoplasty”) is among one of the most delicate and challenging facial cosmetic surgery procedures; therefore, it is important to choose a surgeon who specializes in nasal surgery. Jason B. Diamond, M.D., F.A.C.S. of Los Angeles is an experienced facial and reconstructive surgeon, helping Beverly Hills and Hollywood patients achieve an improved nasal appearance and structure. At The Diamond Face Institute, our rhinoplasty doctor is among the top facial plastic surgeons in his field.

In addition to specializing in cosmetic surgery of the nose, Dr. Diamond also helps previous rhinoplasty patients correct their unsatisfactory results with revision rhinoplasty at his Los Angeles practice. With his knowledge, experience, and aesthetic skills, Dr. Diamond is able to provide Beverly Hills revision rhinoplasty patients with a cosmetically pleasing, better functional nose.

Am I good candidate for nasal augmentation / rhinoplasty?

During a consultation with Dr. Diamond, he will evaluate your nose, discuss your expectations and goals, and review your medical history. From there, our Hollywood revision rhinoplasty specialist will help decide if nose surgery is right for you.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex procedures in all of cosmetic surgery, which is mainly due to the most delicate nature of the nasal anatomy. Every maneuver made in rhinoplasty will not only have an effect on that particular area but will also create changes in other areas of the nose. Therefore, the rhinoplasty surgeon must be an expert in nasal function and anatomy and have a complex knowledge of the intricate relationship that all of the nasal components have with one another. Revision rhinoplasty is even more complex then primary rhinoplasty.

Revision Rhinoplasty Surgery

Dr. Diamond has the skills and eye for detail that can effectively enhance the appearance and/or the functionality of the nose. We most often use the patients own cartilage to provide support to the nose that has previously been weakened by surgery. Cartilage grafts help to rebuild areas of weakness that led to a poor distorted appearance and/or a decreased ability to breathe. Most often we use cartilage from the patient’s septum based on the ease of use and the appropriate strength of the cartilage. When that is not available we may use the patient’s ear cartilage which is not ideal for many uses in the nose because of the inherent curvature of the ear cartilage. The patient’s rib cartilage may also be used, but this too is not ideal based on the need to operate on the chest. Medpore is a synthetic material that has been used in facial reconstruction for many years. This material now allows us to reconstruct a nose without the need to harvest cartilage from the ear or rib, thereby decreasing surgical time and decreasing the morbidity of the procedure. Medpore integrates with the surrounding tissue and has no potential for rejection. This is a very strong and lightweight material that provides excellent support to the nose in those areas that require support.

Using ear or rib cartilage is well tolerated by patients, but any time we can avoid creating extra incisions on the body and performing extra dissections on the body, the patient benefits. Therefore, Medpore provides an excellent grafting material for revision rhinoplasty when septal cartilage is unavailable and it will certainly become more mainstream in the future as more and more literature is published.

For optimal results, Dr. Diamond may also suggest complementary facial cosmetic surgery procedures, such as:

Chin implant surgery
Facelift surgery
Eyelid surgery
Neck lift surgery
