Paige,
Thanks for your question regarding revision rhinoplasty. We perform about 75 rhinoplasties per year and about 150-200 nasal reconstructive cases per year. Of the 75 rhinoplasties about 15-20% are revision cases. So while I haven’t actually worked the numbers, over the years we have plenty of experience. I received my initial training in rhinoplasty in my residency in Galveston, TX where we had an excellent experience with rhinoplasty. I then performed a facial plastic surgery fellowship with Edwin Williams, M.D. in Albany,NY. Dr. Williams trained with one of the most world famous rhinoplasty surgeons to date, Gene Tardy in Chicago. I sought to obtain a fellowship with Dr. Williams because of the strong exposure to rhinoplasty. We performed several hundred nasal cases that year. Since the end of my fellowship I have continued to refine my techniques and participate in constant education in rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is my favorite procedure and I strive to achieve excellent results on every case. Our website has many rhinoplasty cases, both primary and revision. Please take time to look through them and please give us a call anytime.

Dr. Buckingham:
Do you ever perform pro bono plastic or reconconstructive cases? I am primarily referring to domestic violence injuries that are in need of correction or reconstruction for those who cannot afford plastics procedures.
Thank you.
If your answer is NO, would you be able to refer me to a surgeon who accepts charitable cases?

What would be the ideal age to get a Rhinoplasty? I’m 15 and really looking forward to getting a nose job done, and have many friends who got one and had good results. I’m not sure if I should have it done now.
