Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is a second correction surgery performed when a person is dissatisfied with the results of previous rhinoplasty surgery or cannot achieve the desired results.
Revision rhinoplasty can be done when the previous rhinoplasty surgeries do not match with the person’s expectations, or when unwanted changes occur on the nose shape.
Revision rhinoplasty surgery is usually a more complex and difficult procedure, because the structure of the nose may have changed or become difficult after previous surgeries. There may not be enough cartilage in the nose, and it may be necessary to get cartilage grafts from other parts of the body. For this reason, the experience and the expertise of the surgeon performing the revision rhinoplasty surgery is extremely important. Revision rhinoplasty surgery may involve a slightly longer healing process than a normal rhinoplasty surgery.
Aesthetic problems
If unwanted changes or irregularities occur on the shape of the nose after the first rhinoplasty (e.g. formation of a hump, irregularity on the tip of the nose, formation of nose asymmetry etc.), revision surgery is performed to correct the aesthetics problems needing to be corrected.
Functional problems
If problems or breathing difficulties occur in the intranasal structures after the first surgery, revision rhinoplasty surgery can be performed to correct nasal functions.
Problems that occur after trauma
If nasal deformities or damages occur after the first surgery as a result of trauma or accidents, revision surgery may be required.
Additional improvements according to the needs and expectations of the person
Some patients, after the first surgery, may want to further improvements or changes. In these cases, revision surgery can be used to meet these requests.
The Healing Process
Revision rhinoplasty surgery usually involves a longer recovery process and may require more patience and care for the patient. During the postoperative period, it is important to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions and clearly state expectations.
Revision rhinoplasty surgery, which requires careful follow-up and maintenance before and after surgery, is usually a more complex and challenging procedure. It may vary from person to person depending on the results of the first surgery. For this reason, people considering this type of surgery should consult experienced surgeons and get detailed information about the possible risks and expected results.
