A revision rhinoplasty operation is more challenging and requires expertise compared to the initial rhinoplasty. In the first operation, the structure of the nose was altered, and the number of cartilage and tissue to be operated on was reduced. For this reason, the experience and skills of the surgeon who will perform revision rhinoplasty surgery are of great importance.
Revision rhinoplasty surgery is operated to eliminate either aesthetic or functional problems and in some cases both of them. The most common problem we encounter in a revision rhinoplasty surgery is nasal obstruction. This problem, which we frequently encounter after the first rhinoplasty operation, is mostly temporary and disappears spontaneously after the first week. Although rare, changes in the cartilage and nasal septum during surgery may increase the existing deviation and even impair nasal functions. Surgical intervention is necessary if this situation reaches a serious level where it affects the patient's quality of life. If there is no functional problem and the revision procedure is only needed for aesthetic concerns, it is necessary to wait at least 1 year after the first operation.
Revision rhinoplasty can eliminate these problems:
It is possible to eliminate the above-mentioned problems with revision rhinoplasty, but it should not be forgotten that the area and tissue to be worked on are seriously reduced. In other words, revision rhinoplasty does not do miracles as much as the first rhinoplasty. With the revision operation, minor curvatures or functional problems in the nose are corrected. If patients go into the procedure with this expectation, they will be happy with the result.
Revision surgeries are always more challenging and complex than initial surgeries. However, there is no need to be afraid of revision surgery performed by a good surgeon. Plastic surgeons are accustomed to performing revision rhinoplasty operations. During the surgery, the necessary cartilage and tissues are taken from other parts of the body, and aesthetic and functional problems are solved together.
The success of the revision operation largely depends on its performance by a competent surgeon. Although the operation is more complicated for the surgeon, there is no risk or danger compared to the first nose surgery. After the revision surgery, you may encounter complications such as swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes, as with the first rhinoplasty surgery. By following your doctor's instructions, you can ensure that these complications disappear more quickly. Be sure to inform your doctor immediately if you encounter an unexpected situation such as excessive bleeding, swelling, or bruising.
