Revision rhinoplasty is performed when nasal function problems and outer appearance problems of patients who had undergone a primary rhinoplasty continue or worsen. Literature shows that every 1 out of 4 patients need a revision rhinoplasty.<\/p>\n
Even though this rate is lower in case of well experienced surgeons, sometimes patients need to have a second surgery due to dissatisfaction, recovery problems, and technical problems in surgery. In general revision rhinoplasty requires performance of a limited number of corrective tasks and most of the time the surgery is completed in a very short time. Patients who need a secondary surgery should be much more careful and seek for a competent surgeon that understand their situation, make consistent judgments, have a comprehensive knowledge about the situation and make the required revision.<\/p>\n
First of all it should be known that it is wrong for patients who feel the need for a revision to be scared of undergoing a surgery once again. You don\u2019t have to live with a nose that makes you unhappy, that does not satisfy you, that is blocked and cause you problems while breathing.<\/p>\n
It is very important to know that there is an experienced doctor who adopted the concept of nose. You should understand that the doctor you need is the one who understand that rhinoplasty is not just an ordinary surgery, it is the meeting point of art, science and aesthetic and that doctor should be ready to put all his energy and concentration on this issue.<\/p>\n
Of course it is not easy to perform surgery on noses that require a revision rhinoplasty. Because it is possible that many support points of the nose is damaged and dislocation of cartilage and bone structure is possible. Surgeon may not always be able to estimate the condition of the nose before the surgery. If cartilages are removed, cartilage grafting from other parts of the body, ear or ribs maybe necessary to reshape.<\/p>\n
In summary don\u2019t be unhappy or hopeless. I recommend you to find a surgeon who adopts a nose concept that blends nature with aesthetic and to discuss all your problems with this surgeon frankly.<\/p>\n

If you consider having rhinoplasty surgery,\u00a0contact us<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0right away to get a free consultancy service from\u00a0Prof. Dr. Sel\u00e7uk \u0130nanl\u0131<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Revision rhinoplasty<\/b>, often referred to as <\/span>secondary rhinoplasty<\/b>, is a surgical procedure performed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose surgery. While the primary goal of any initial nose job is to achieve a balance between aesthetic harmony and functional efficiency, the reality of surgical healing and anatomical complexity means that not every outcome is perfect. When a patient is dissatisfied with the appearance of their nose or experiences new or persistent breathing difficulties after their first operation, a revision becomes necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n This procedure is widely considered one of the most challenging operations in the field of <\/span>facial plastic surgery<\/b>. Unlike a primary surgery, where the surgeon works with undisturbed tissues and intact cartilage, a revision specialist must navigate scar tissue, altered anatomy, and often a significant lack of structural support. Achieving success in this field requires the expertise of a senior surgeon, such as <\/span>Prof. Dr. Sel\u00e7uk \u0130nanl\u0131<\/span><\/a>, who possesses the international certification and academic background necessary to handle complex nasal reconstructions.<\/span><\/p>\n The difficulty of a secondary procedure lies in several factors. First, the <\/span>nasal skin<\/b> and soft tissues may have become thinner or more contracted due to previous scarring. This makes the tissue less pliable and more prone to complications. Second, the <\/span>septal cartilage<\/b>, which is the primary source of building material in a first surgery, is often already harvested or damaged. This necessitates the use of alternative graft sources, such as <\/span>ear cartilage<\/b> or <\/span>rib cartilage<\/b>, to rebuild the nasal framework.<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, the surgeon must address both aesthetic and functional failures. It is not enough to simply make the nose look better; the internal structures must be reinforced to ensure the patient can breathe clearly. This dual focus on form and function is why many patients seek out an <\/span>ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist<\/b> who is also board-certified in facial plastic surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n Patients decide to undergo a second (or even third or fourth) nasal surgery for a variety of reasons. These generally fall into two categories: <\/span>aesthetic dissatisfaction<\/b> and <\/span>functional impairment<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n Functional failures are often more distressing than aesthetic ones. Many patients find that while their nose looks better, they can no longer breathe properly. This is frequently due to a <\/span>deviated septum<\/span><\/a> that was not fully corrected, or the collapse of the internal or external nasal valves. When the structural support of the nose is weakened, the nostrils may collapse inward during inhalation, leading to chronic nasal congestion and sleep apnea.<\/span><\/p>\n In <\/span>revision rhinoplasty<\/b>, the priority is often restoring the structural integrity of the nose. If the previous surgeon removed too much of the “L-strut” (the part of the septum that holds up the bridge and tip), the nose may eventually collapse, leading to a <\/span>saddle nose deformity<\/b>. Reconstructing this requires advanced grafting techniques and a deep understanding of nasal biomechanics.<\/span><\/p>\n When considering a revision, the choice of surgeon is the most critical factor in determining the outcome. <\/span>Prof. Dr. Sel\u00e7uk \u0130nanl\u0131<\/b> is an ENT Specialist certified by the <\/span>European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS)<\/b>. With decades of experience and a career focused on academic excellence, he has established himself as a leading figure in <\/span>nasal aesthetics<\/b> and complex reconstructions.<\/span><\/p>\n His philosophy treats nasal surgery as an art form brought to life on living tissue. By combining the precision of a scientist with the vision of an artist, he aims to create a nose that not only looks natural but also functions perfectly within the context of the patient’s unique facial features. For those traveling to <\/span>Istanbul<\/b> for surgery, his clinic provides a standard of care backed by the <\/span>Health T\u00fcrkiye<\/b> guarantee and international health tourism authorization.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is Revision Rhinoplasty?
