Revision Rhinoplasty
What Is It?
Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary or subsequent surgical procedure performed on patients who have previously undergone nose surgery but are dissatisfied with the results or continue to experience functional and structural problems. The aim of the surgery is to correct deformities caused by the previous operation, improve nasal functions, and achieve a more natural appearance.
Surgery Duration and Type of Anesthesia
Revision rhinoplasty typically takes between 2 to 4 hours. Due to tissue healing and adhesions from the previous surgery, the procedure may be more complex. For this reason, it is performed under general anesthesia. If the cartilage structure was damaged in previous operations, cartilage grafts are often harvested from the ear, rib, or nasal septum to provide support and shape.
Why Is This Surgery Preferred?
It is preferred for patients whose aesthetic expectations were not met after the first surgery or who experience functional issues such as breathing difficulties. It can also be performed to correct deformities such as nasal bridge collapse, deviation, or drooping of the nasal tip.
Get in Touch
Aesthetics reshapes not only appearance but also self-confidence.
Who Is It Suitable For?
It is suitable for individuals who have previously undergone rhinoplasty but are not satisfied with the results and require corrections both aesthetically and functionally. Suitable candidates should be patient with the healing process and have realistic expectations.
Recovery Process
The recovery process in revision surgeries may vary depending on the individual. Swelling and bruising usually decrease within the first 1–2 weeks, but in some cases, edema may persist longer. The final nasal shape typically settles within 12–18 months.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is revision rhinoplasty risky?
Due to tissue changes from previous surgeries, it is technically more complex and should therefore be performed by experienced surgeons.
When can revision surgery be performed?
It is generally recommended at least 9–12 months after the first surgery.
What is the success rate?
The success rate depends on the surgeon’s experience, the condition of the tissues, and the patient’s expectations.
When performed with proper planning, an experienced surgeon, and close patient cooperation, rhinoplasty makes it possible to achieve natural and harmonious results that restore the overall aesthetic balance of the face. Since each patient’s anatomy and expectations are unique, personalized planning plays a key role in the success of this procedure.
