Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Raj P. TerKonda

Sourced directly from Dr. Raj P. TerKonda's social posts and replies.

What is revision rhinoplasty and what can it achieve?
Revision rhinoplasty is a personalized procedure designed to correct the results of a previous rhinoplasty, rebuild damaged nasal structures, and repair visible imperfections. It typically involves minor adjustments to improve the nose's appearance or reconstruct it, ultimately helping patients achieve their desired aesthetic outcome and boost confidence and self-image.

What is chronic rhinitis?
Chronic rhinitis is characterized by inflammation of the tissues lining the nose, leading to symptoms such as a runny nose, post-nasal drip, congestion, coughing, and sneezing.

What are RhinAer and VivAer treatments, and what are their benefits?
RhinAer and VivAer treatments are procedures that use a small wand to apply RF energy to the nasal airway, delicately remodeling the nasal passage to improve airflow. They help counteract mucus production, minimize congestion, and provide lasting relief from symptoms like runny nose and difficulty breathing. Clinical findings show significant improvement in nasal breathing (97% of patients), ability to get enough air during exertion (94%), and better sleep (89%). There is no downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities on the same day.

What are the common symptoms of nasal obstruction?
Common symptoms of nasal obstruction include trouble breathing through the nose, nasal congestion, difficulty sleeping, habitual snoring, interrupted sleep, difficulty breathing during physical exertion, and fatigue.
Source →
Who is a suitable candidate for neck lift surgery?
A neck lift may be a suitable option for physically healthy individuals who experience visibly sagging and hanging skin in the neck region and feel frustrated by lines and wrinkles on the neck.
Source →
What is the recovery timeline for rhinoplasty?
It is crucial to allow the nose sufficient time to heal following a rhinoplasty procedure. It can take over one year for inflammation to fully subside, at which point the final shape of the nose becomes visible.
Source →
What are the benefits of a facelift?
A facelift can help give a younger look by decreasing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and rectifying volume loss in the cheeks and under the eyes. Facelift results are long-lasting and typically involve minimal scarring.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$1,485

Payments

25

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Raj P. TerKonda received $1,485 across 25 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was AERIN MEDICAL INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
