Revision Rhinoplasty in Sydney
Monday, August 16th, 2010
Revision rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult facial reconstructive procedures. Often a secondary, tertiary or quaternary rhinoplasty has already been performed leaving the nasal cartilaginous framework ravaged and the skin overlying it scarred and abnormal.
This is one reason to get your rhinoplasty performed in Sydney by a well qualified rhinoplasty expert. This is either an ENT trained Facial Plastic Surgeon such as Dr Pincock or a Plastic surgeon who specialises in the face.
If you have already had a primary rhinoplasty and are unhappy with the results its always best to discuss this with your original surgeon first. You should not be embarrassed or reluctant to bring up certain issues with your rhinoplasty. The best rhinoplasty surgeon in the world has revision rhinoplasty patients and it is therefore not a reflection on your surgeon if you have an issue BUT how he deals with it.
If you are unhappy with seeing your primary surgeon again or have lost rapport, then seeing another surgeon may be necessary.
Remember although choosing your surgeon wisely for a first time rhinoplasty is important it is imperative that you do your research before seeing someone for a secondary rhinoplasty.
Your secondary rhinoplasty surgeon should not be contradictory to your original surgeon or make disparaging comments about your original surgery. It is impossible for the second surgeon to have an understanding of all the factors that led to the issue or have a complete understanding of the conditions of the original surgery.
Revision surgery may simply involve taking down a dorsal hump down a little further or filing down some unevenness from the osteotomies OR it may require a full reconstructive rhinoplasty requiring ear cartilage grafts, rib or even artificial material.
Remember that the nose is not just for looking good so at any stage of rhinoplasty, maintenance of a good nasal airway should be a primary goal for all rhinoplasty surgeons. If you get a blocked nose from a rhinoplasty it will drive you crazy!!!, luckily nasal obstruction following rhinoplasty or “post rhinoplasty nasal obstruction” is relatively easy for an Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon to correct.

Combination plastic surgery procedures in Sydney
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010
It is common to do multiple facial cosmetic procedures at the same sitting, however one cannot be cavalier about it. Some factors to take into consideration are total anaesthesia time, total surface area of surgical fields, total length of surgery and , surgeon fatigue (both mental and physical), expected time of recovery from the surgery.
Commonly performed multiple facial cosmetic procedures by Dr Tobias Pincock in Sydney are:
1. rhinoplasty and chin implant
2. rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty
3. facelift and necklift
4. facelift and blepharoplasty
5. facelift and blepharoplasty and browlift
6. rhinoplasty and necklift
If patients desire a body procedure and a facial procedure performed simultaneously then Dr Pincock works very closely with Dr Tavakoli who is amongst Sydney’s best breast augmentation and body cosmetic plastic surgeons. For more info visit www.drtavakoli.com.au
It is important to mention these to your surgeon at the time of consultation as it is impossible to add a procedure on the day of surgery as a “last minute decision”. Many times a patient is afraid to ask because they are worried about what the surgeon will think, but having an excellent result depends on very clear lines of communication between patient and surgeon.
Plan all these procedures carefully with your surgeon and discuss each risk and advantages and disadvantages of combining or separating these procedures.
Although Dr Pincock is not a fan of the “extreme makeover”, when planned carefully multiple procedures can have a dramatic effect on reducing ageing and improving ones appearance and self esteem.

WHO IS CERTIFIED
Unified International Certification in Facial Plastic Surgery Diplomates
(UIC in FPS Diplomates)
The international certification process is aimed at setting similar standards of knowledge in the area of facial plastic surgery worldwide. The only established certification in the area of facial plastic surgery is that offered by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS).

Keeping this in mind, and with the support of the ABFPRS and the AAFPRS, a Unified International Certification Program in Facial Plastic Surgery was developed. Eligibility criteria were established following the standards of excellence established by the ABFPRS. Today, if international specialists fulfill the criteria, they may be eligible for the Unified International Certification Program sponsored by the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies (IFFPSS) and the national facial plastic surgery society in their country or geographic area.
To achieve international certification the surgeon must:
Have completed an approved residency program in otolaryngology/head-and neck surgery or plastic surgery.
Have earned prior certification by the National Examining Body in Otolaryngology/Head-and Neck Surgery or Plastic Surgery.
Have been in practice a minimum of two years.
