Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision nose surgery defines the operations performed for patients who have previously undergone aesthetic nose surgery and are not satisfied with the aesthetic or functional results despite the passage of one year. In revision nose surgeries, breathing problems and nose shape are corrected, if any.

Preoperative Assessment and Interview

Revision rhinoplasty patients are patients who have experienced disappointment once. All details of the revision surgery and the level of correction of deformities should be shared realistically. Expectations should be in harmony with the result of the correction that the surgeon can make before the operation so that there will be no disappointment again.

Before the revision surgery, the intranasal structures and the cause of the deformation should be determined very well. For this purpose, detailed intranasal and external structures are evaluated. If necessary, computerised tomography can be performed to better evaluate the bones and cartilages.

Revision nose surgeries are technically more difficult than the first operations. After the first operation, there are deformities and thinning of cartilage and bones. soft tissues are covered with harder healing tissues called scars. Natural anatomical structures are disrupted. In these operations, an extra careful surgery is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is revision surgery performed?
After aesthetic nose surgeries, we see the final result at the end of 1 year. After 1 year, major changes in the nose are not expected. Revision surgery can be performed at the end of the 1st year when the tissues are fully healed.
Your blood tests are done one or a few days before the operation. Our anaesthesiologist evaluates the blood tests, examines you before the operation and informs you. It will be enough to come to your room allocated to you 1 hour before the operation. If you need to overcome your excitement before the operation, sedative and encouraging drugs can be given during the preparation phase. The operation takes 3-4 hours on average. Sometimes it may take shorter and sometimes longer. Duration is not restrictive in surgeries. The operation continues until the planned result is achieved. Depending on the surgical procedure performed after the operation, you can stay in the hospital for 1 night or you can be discharged on the same day if a smaller revision has been made.
In revision nose surgeries, open or closed technique can be used depending on the condition of the deformity. If the nasal tip cartilages are not deformed too much, I prefer to do it with closed technique without lifting the nasal skin again. If there is excessive deformation of the nasal tip cartilages, I prefer the open technique if it is necessary to reconstruct the cartilage structures.
