She mainly complained of wide nose tip and wide alar base. she also felt that her nostrils show was higher than the ideal with a very large bulbous nose tip. On examination, Dr Rahul Gogoi decided on the following issues.
​
1. Lack of nose bridge height. previously patient had undergone rhinoplasty with ear cartilage, which proved to be insufficient for proper nose bridge height and tip support.

Dr Rahul Gogoi is among only 3 surgeon in the world to perform Preservation Push Rhinoplasty in the world. The most advanced asian rhinoplasty technique
​
2. Her nose tip was not properly supported. the ear cartilage previously used was insufficient in strength to support her nose tip, resulting in her nose tip to collapse and upturn under its own weight of the cartilage and skin. Dr Rahul Gogoi performed Dorsal Preservation Push up rhinoplasty along with extended Spreader graft, Bilateral Septo Columellar Extension graft to get her nose tip in a more pleasing and aesthetic position.
​

Revision Rhinoplasty by Dr Rahul Gogoi - long term review. our beautiful patient from Bangalore. She had previously undergone primary rhinoplasty in Bangalore. her main complaints were regular and bent nose bridge and nose tip. she also complained of unsatisfactory nose tip shape. On examination her main issue after her primary rhinoplasty were as follows and the steps taken by Dr Rahul Gogoi to correct the issues to get the best revision rhinoplasty results in India
​
1. From the front view, it was obvious that her nose was completely deviated right from the bridge till the tip. She had a typical S shape nose deviation. On revision rhinoplasty surgery Dr Rahul Gogoi noticed that the tip graft previously used was insufficient to hold her nose tip, due to which her nose tip and septal cartilage buckled and bent under the pressure of her now nose cartilage and skin along with excessive scar tissue formation. Dr Rahul Gogoi performed bilateral spreader graft along with advanced ultrasonic rhinoplasty to straighten her nose bridge. Along with this, he also used septal extension graft, alarcfrtilage only strut graft with articulated alar rim graft to correct and support hose nose tip
​
2. The nose tip had lost its support completely, along with thistle also had developed alar pinching due to excessive trimming of her tip cartilages after her previous rhinoplasty. Dr Rahul Gogoi performed his signature alar cartilage only strut graft to re construct her nose tip. For the pinched nose tip, Articulated alar rim grafts were given. These steps are extremely complicated rhinoplasty surgical steps to perform. These were executed flawlessly by Dr Rahul Gogoi, the reason why Dr Rahul Gogoi is regarded among the best rhinoplasty surgeon across Asia and one of the best surgeon for revision rhinoplasty in India and Asia.
Revision rhinoplasty for our patient from Hyderabad. Here our patient was previously operated in General Plastic Surgery department in Hyderabad. The main reason for unsatisfactory rhinoplasty result was chiefly due a miss diagnosis. She had insufficient nose bridge height which was not addressed in her primary rhinoplasty. along with this the lack of ultrasonic rhinoplasty during her previous rhinoplasty in Hyderabad meant that her nose bones were not properly reduced resulting in lack of proper nose dorsal contours, leaving an unsatisfactory nose shape.
​
1. Dr Rahul Gogoi performed his signature Dorsal Preservation Push up Rhinoplasty to lift her nose bridge to get it into a proper balanced contours. Because Dr Rahul Gogoi perform dorsal preservation push up rhinoplasty, it gives him the advantage of producing more natural looking contours. Incidentally Dr Rahul Gogoi is the only surgeon in India and Asia to perform Dorsal preservation push up rhinoplasty. it is the most advanced preservation rhinoplasty technique in the world.
​
2. Her nose tip was projected to a proper position. her nose cartilages were severely damaged due to scarring after her primary rhinoplasty. Dr Rahul Gogoi performed his signature alar cartilage only strut graft to reconstruct her nose tip. Articulated alar rim graft was done to get a more smooth nose tip and Ala contours.
​
3. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty was done using advanced piezo surgery to narrow her nose bones. Often Indian nose have much more thicker nose bone than Europeans. this makes traditional rhinoplasty technique ineffective for proper nose bone contouring. Dr Rahul Gogoi with his vast experience in Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, routinely gets the best possible contours for his rhinoplasty surgeries Both primary and revision nose jobs

On the interesting note, her husband is also a General Plastic surgeon. she was operated in a general plastic surgery department. Rhinoplasty require higher amount of training post masters. Generally a surgeon who dedicates majority of their practice to rhinoplasty eventually is better trained to deliver better results over a surgeon who perform full body surgeries. a short example is a general plastic surgeon who perform 300 surgeries a year, but has about 40-50 rhinoplasty is lesser skilled in rhinoplasty in compared to a Maxilla Facial Surgeon who operates 300 surgeries a year but rhinoplasty accounts for 100-150 surgeries a year. This is a compounding effect, as the Maxillo Facial Surgeon in this picture would probably operate over 600 rhinoplasties in 4 years as compared to 200 rhinoplastic by the general plastic surgeon. overall the higher number of rhinoplasties operated by a rhinoplasty dedicated surgeon gives him/her more experience and insights on rhinoplasty surgery, hence rhinoplasty dedicated surgeon keeps getting better faster consistently.
