Revision rhinoplasty can be performed due to functional problems after the first rhinoplasty. Revision (corrective) nose surgeries may be needed because the patient’s expectations of the first nose surgery are not met. However, most of the patients who do not get the desired result from the first surgery are afraid of revision surgeries. The problem that the patient has due to his previous surgery causes concerns before his new surgery. But a good Rhinoplasty Surgeon resolves these concerns of the patient. First of all, the patient’s expectations from revision rhinoplasty should be understood correctly. The success of revision rhinoplasty surgery depends on this.
After rhinoplasty, time is required to complete the healing process. Depending on the content of the surgical intervention, a period of 6 months to 1 year is required for the nose to take its final shape. For this reason, it is generally recommended to wait at least one year before performing a second operation. Revision rhinoplasty surgery is a long and arduous process. As with previous rhinoplasty, it is difficult to tell the patient an exact recovery interval. Patience is required for both the patient who carries the traces of the previous plastic surgery and the surgeon. Before the revision rhinoplasty is performed, many examinations are performed on the patient. After the second operation of the patient, the desired nose structure is determined. Meanwhile, factors such as the patient’s facial structure and age gain importance.
Patients mostly resort to revision rhinoplasty for the following reasons;
Nasal tip drooping
Nasal belt Collapses
Caused by excessive removal of the cartilage structure during the
First surgery
