Revision Rhinoplasty Reviews
He listened to my issue and willing to assist with my possible revision
Dr Brissett is a wonderful doctor. He listens to me and is very empathetic.
Excellent surgeon.
When you have to put your daughter's physical future in the hands of someone else, you must do a thorough investigation of who is the most qualified doctor. I found Anthony Brissett after a lot of searching and finding Mexican-style surgeons, very bloferous and with spectacular clinics but not trustworthy. Dr. Brissett not only met all medical credentials as he is certified by: The American Academy of Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery). The American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery. The American College of Surgeons. So we made the decision to come to Houston to see him and talk to him and we decided that it was the best possible option. Here we forget about the "perfect" "signature" type noses that doctors in Mexico make and we focus first on fixing the medical problem that my daughter had and then on leaving her as natural as possible, both objectives were achieved 100% . If this comment is useful to you and you decide to go and meet this great doctor, please tell him that with your visit you saved my little finger on my left hand. Thank you Dr. Brissett, you DID change my daughter's life in more ways than one. I can see your masterpiece everyday...
I had a botched rhinoplasty and my nose was extremely distorted. My doctor recommended a surgeon and l had my consultation. He told me that l would need someone qualified to restructure and rebuild my nose. He gave me Dr. Brissett's details and now it's six weeks later and l have my life back. I can now breath perfectly to the point of doing light excerise and something l hadn't really considered at the time but my nose is beautiful. It's really lovely and moreover suits my face. I cannot thank Dr. Brissett and his team enough. Aside from being absolutely lovely, the level of care and professionalism was fantastic. I will be forever grateful to an outstanding group of people with a miracle worker at the helm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do you have to wait to have revision rhinoplasty?
The ideal time to have a revision procedure is not always defined. It can be performed at any point if you're concerned about the function or aesthetics of your nose. However, it's very important to heal completely from your initial rhinoplasty surgery. This is why Dr. Brissett suggests waiting a full 12 months before seeking a secondary procedure.
Will my results be better?
Revision procedures are complex because much of the original nasal structure has already been altered. It's important to find a specialist with years of experience with this particular surgery. Our team in Houston, TX, has an excellent track record of providing patients with beautiful results that last.
What are the risks of revision rhinoplasty?
Just like any other type of surgery, revision rhinoplasty is not without risk. Patients should follow our pre-and post-surgical instructions to avoid complications like bleeding and infection. We review all potential risks with each patient before deciding whether they're a good candidate for this procedure.
Who Is A Candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty?
The best candidates for revision rhinoplasty:
- Have had one or more previous nose surgeries with undesirable results
- Have problems with form and/or function
- Have realistic outcomes
- Desire a long-term solution
- Desire a natural look
What To Expect During Revision Rhinoplasty
Since revision surgery to fix an old nose job follows one or more previous nose surgeries, a patient needs to understand that this surgery is more complex and technical. In some cases, patients may have had multiple prior nose surgeries, which significantly alters the nose. Before any nasal surgery, the nose naturally consists of various layers of tissue planes that are dissected during nasal surgery. Going into a revision surgery, these planes may be completely gone, which the surgeon will have to address. In some cases, a graft will need to be used to replenish the structure.
Also, depending on the state of the nose, the surgeon will need to choose between open or closed rhinoplasty. With open rhinoplasty, a small incision will be made on the underside of the nose between the nostrils to allow the surgeon better access to various parts of the nose. The technique is used for more complicated surgeries and is used most often with revision surgery. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions that are made inside of the nostrils and are reserved for less complicated surgeries.
How Long Is Recovery from Revision Rhinoplasty?
Depending on the complexity, revision surgery can take about 1 hour to complete. Similar to primary nasal surgery, a patient can expect pain, discomfort, bruising, and swelling following surgery. There will be multiple follow-up appointments to check the progress of the nose. Results from revision surgery can vary greatly due to a number of factors, such as how complicated the surgery was and the previous condition of the nose. Most patients should be able to notice a marked improvement in their nose after a few months.
