“I could not be happier with my results! I love my new nose!”

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Heather had a wonderful experience with her revision rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Spencer Cochran at the Gunter Center for Aesthetics and Cosmetic Surgery.

FEMALE VOICE: The reason that brought me here to Dr. Cochran’s office was that I’d had a rhinoplasty before and I wasn’t happy with the results from that. I also had continued problems with breathing and my sinuses. I also had worked with Dr. Cochran in the operating room and knew some of his work and how conscientious he was and that he was coming to work in a rhinoplasty practice.

So I came to him for a secondary rhinoplasty and revision of sinus surgery. I couldn’t be happier with my results. I feel, I love my new nose. I can breathe better. I can smell better. It looks better. Every person in this office treated me like I was part of the family, like I was a very important person, even from the receptionist telling me directions of how to get home in bad traffic, to Dr. Cochran, you know, calling to check on me the night before surgery and stuff like that. So overall my experience has been wonderful and I’m just so glad that I did it.

Secondary Rhinoplasty

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

DR. JACK P. GUNTER: Secondary rhinoplasty is a rhinoplasty performed for patients who have already had a previous rhinoplasty and either they’re dissatisfied, well they are dissatisfied with the operation for one reason or another. Now there can be, these can be due to minor deformities that they have or major deformities. And if it’s a minor deformity it can be fairly easily fixed. However if it’s a major deformity it becomes more difficult and is much more difficult than primary rhinoplasty. And it can be a problem with the aesthetics as well as a problem with breathing.

And when we go into secondary rhinoplasty we start having to take cartilage from other parts of the body because the cartilage inside the nose has been operated on, some of its been removed, some of it is distorted, and sometimes we have to build a complete new framework and it’s under the skin. And then if the skin’s been damaged it’s very difficult to improve the skin. So because of its difficulty it is very important that the patient select a highly qualified surgeon to perform any type of secondary rhinoplasty.

Dr. Spencer Cochran

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

FEMALE VOICE: Dr. Spencer Cochran is a highly respected rhinoplasty surgeon who was hand selected by Dr. Gunter for his knowledge and skill in all aspects of nasal surgery. Like Dr. Gunter, rhinoplasty is his passion and area of expertise. Board certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology and a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Cochran embraces the most innovative, cutting edge techniques available in primary and secondary rhinoplasty. His focused background and surgical experience have allowed him to become a highly skilled rhinoplasty specialist.

DR. SPENCER COCHRAN: Ever since the beginning of my medical training I knew that I wanted to be a rhinoplasty surgeon. Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult procedures in plastic surgery and in order to get consistent results you really have to dedicate yourself to that alone, and that’s what I’ve decided to do. But it, more than that it’s also the sense of satisfaction that I get from helping patients, being able to improve their breathing at the same time improving the appearance is very important. The two really go hand in hand, a nose that functions well should also look good and vice versa, and being able to correct those things together is very important.
