Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Revision rhinoplasty is an aesthetic operation that involves reshaping a previously operated nose. Revision surgery is a challenging operation for many reasons. First, the nose has a complex structure and is at the very center of our beauty. The slightest aesthetic defect directly affects the appearance. While maintaining or increasing the function of the nose during surgery, it is a challenging process that requires experience to give the nose an aesthetically flawless appearance. Some deformities can be quite large. Therefore, treatment may require radical changes in the cartilage tissue and nasal bone. For a person to be satisfied with the results, the nose must be flawless both functionally and aesthetically. According to studies, ten to fifteen percent of patients may be dissatisfied with their nose and may need revision rhinoplasty after rhinoplasty.

Why do patients need a revision rhinoplasty?

There are many reasons. The most common causes:

• Poor healing process or presence of scar tissue from the previous rhinoplasty
• The first surgery did not completely remove the cosmetic problems.
• Failure to pay attention to the patient’s complaints and expectations in the first pre-operative period or communication problems between the surgeon and the patient
• The patient’s dissatisfaction with the new nose shape
• Failure of the nose to fully perform its respiratory function.
• Lifting the tip of the nose more or less than expected
• Problems in the structure of the nose due to accidents in the healing process
• Aesthetic problems in the proportion of the face, lips, and nose

When can revision rhinoplasty be performed?

We usually recommend waiting a year after the first surgery for the nose to fully heal and the final appearance to arrive. However, depending on the type of problem, whether it is necessary to wait after the previous surgery varies. For example, if you think that your nose is too short there is no need to wait. However, if the problem is that the nose is wide or looks big, the best option is to wait as swelling may continue until the first year. Because after a while, there may be no need for surgery again.

How is revision rhinoplasty done?

A comprehensive evaluation of the patient who will undergo surgery is important. No other aesthetic procedure requires as detailed preoperative evaluation as revision rhinoplasty. Because there is a higher expectation compared to the first rhinoplasty. Failure to pay attention to the patient’s complaint during the preoperative period may cause unsatisfactory postoperative results.

Revision rhinoplasty is a surgery that requires more experience and skill. Especially since there is more demand and concern regarding the final result, patients’ aesthetic and functional complaints, as well as their expectations, should be well analyzed. In our clinic, we make a detailed analysis by paying attention to all these issues. Then, we inform our patients about our expectations from the surgery in a realistic way.

After all this pre-operative planning, the operation is performed under general anesthesia as in the first operation. Revision patients are knowledgeable about the surgery and recovery process as they have had at least one rhinoplasty surgery before. In general, the recovery process after revision is similar to the first surgery.
