Revision rhinoplasty—also known as secondary rhinoplasty—is one of the most complex and technically demanding procedures in facial plastic surgery. It’s not simply a repeat of the original surgery; it’s often a complete reconstruction of both the aesthetic appearance and functional structure of the nose. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Dr. Ben Stong brings a rare combination of surgical skill, academic knowledge, and artistic vision to help patients who are dissatisfied or struggling after a previous nose job.
Whether the result of an inexperienced surgeon, poor healing, or unexpected complications, revision rhinoplasty patients often experience a range of issues, including:
- Asymmetry or deviation of the nose
- Breathing difficulties from collapsed nasal valves
- Over-resection leading to a pinched or unnatural nasal tip
- Visible scarring or surface irregularities
- Persistent dorsal humps or bumps not corrected in the first surgery
These concerns aren’t just cosmetic—they can significantly affect your confidence and quality of life. That’s why choosing a surgeon with exceptional expertise in both aesthetic balance and nasal function is absolutely essential.
Dr. Ben Stong: Fellowship-Trained, Double Board-Certified Specialist
Dr. Ben Stong is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist, uniquely qualified to perform revision rhinoplasty at the highest level. He trained under Dr. Andrew Jacono, one of the world’s leading rhinoplasty surgeons, gaining advanced insight into the correction of difficult nasal deformities and functional complications. This fellowship training, combined with years of hands-on surgical experience, allows Dr. Stong to handle the most challenging revision cases with precision and care.
Unlike general plastic surgeons or cosmetic providers, Dr. Stong’s dual certification means he is deeply trained in both the internal anatomy of the nose (for breathing) and its external structure (for aesthetics). This integrated approach is especially important in revision cases, where scar tissue, altered anatomy, and compromised cartilage can make even small corrections difficult.
Academic Expertise Meets Surgical Precision
Dr. Stong is not only a skilled surgeon but also a recognized contributor to academic research in rhinoplasty. He co-authored the clinical guide “Rhinoplasty, Nasal Tip Projection” for Medscape’s eMedicine platform alongside Dr. Jacono. This publication underscores his expertise in nasal tip support and projection, which is often one of the most challenging aspects of revision procedures.
In many revision rhinoplasty cases, the nasal tip may have been over-resected, collapsed, or misshapen by previous surgery. Dr. Stong applies advanced techniques—such as cartilage grafting and structural reconstruction—to rebuild the nose while preserving or improving function.
