Why Patients in Atlanta Choose Revision Rhinoplasty
According to recent data, up to 15% of individuals who undergo primary rhinoplasty will seek revision surgery. Whether due to cosmetic dissatisfaction, breathing difficulty, or complications from a previous procedure, the need for a skilled, experienced surgeon in Atlanta has never been greater.
With over 6 million residents in the greater Atlanta metro and a high demand for facial plastic surgery procedures, Dr. Stong and his team at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery provide patients with a uniquely personal, boutique experience not often found in larger clinics or national chains. We serve patients from neighborhoods like Buckhead, Midtown, Sandy Springs, Roswell, and Alpharetta, as well as from across the Southeastern U.S.
At Kalos, patients are not treated like a number. We provide clear communication, transparent expectations, and comprehensive support throughout the entire process—from your initial consultation to your final follow-up.
What Is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty (secondary rhinoplasty) corrects complications or dissatisfaction from previous nose surgery. Patients may experience:
- Asymmetry or deviation of the nose
- Breathing difficulties due to collapsed nasal valves
- Over-resection or pinched nasal tips
- Scarring or irregular contours
- Persistent nasal humps or bumps
Because of altered anatomy and scar tissue, revision rhinoplasty is one of the most complex procedures in facial plastic surgery. Dr. Stong’s fellowship training under Dr. Andrew Jacono—an internationally renowned rhinoplasty expert—gives him the insight and technique to handle even the most challenging cases.
Open vs. Closed Revision Rhinoplasty
Depending on your anatomy and surgical goals, Dr. Stong may recommend:
- Open Rhinoplasty: External incision for full visibility—ideal for complex revisions and structural grafting
- Closed Rhinoplasty: Internal incisions only—minimally invasive with shorter recovery for less extensive corrections
In many cases, cartilage grafts (from the septum, ear, or rib) are needed to restore support. Dr. Stong is a recognized expert in nasal grafting and structural rebuilding.
Why Choose Dr. Benjamin Stong for Your Revision Rhinoplasty?
Fellowship Training in Complex Facial Surgery
Dr. Benjamin Stong completed a fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Albert Einstein School of Medicine, where he trained under nationally recognized leaders in advanced rhinoplasty and revision techniques. His fellowship emphasized challenging cases involving structural grafting, scar tissue, and prior surgical complications.
Dual Board Certification Supporting Complex Revisions
As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist, Dr. Stong possesses extensive knowledge of both the external appearance and internal function of the nose. This dual expertise is particularly critical for revision rhinoplasty, where aesthetics and breathing are often compromised by prior surgery.
Published Expertise in Nasal Tip Aesthetics
Dr. Stong co-authored a clinical guide on nasal tip projection for Medscape’s eMedicine platform:
Jacono AA, Stong BC. “Rhinoplasty, Nasal Tip Projection.” eMedicine. December 2008.
This work highlights his academic understanding of nasal tip support and contour, which is essential in correcting deformities from previous rhinoplasty procedures.
National Reputation and Academic Credentials
With multiple peer-reviewed publications and invitations to present at international facial plastic surgery symposia, Dr. Stong is regarded as a leader in revision and reconstructive nasal surgery. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and a Diplomate of the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
