What is Revision (Secondary) Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective surgery performed on those who have had previous rhinoplasty surgery but are not satisfied with the results or have functional problems. Deformities, asymmetry, drooping nasal tip or irregularities on the nasal dorsum that occur after the first surgery can be corrected with this operation. In addition, functional disorders such as breathing problems can be corrected with revision rhinoplasty.

This operation usually requires more careful planning to correct the scars or deficiencies left by the first surgery. During revision rhinoplasty, the condition of the cartilage and tissues used in the previous surgery is evaluated and cartilage taken from the rib or ear can be used if necessary.

Who Gets Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty surgery is preferred in the following cases:

  • Those who did not get the desired result after their first rhinoplasty surgery,
  • Those who have problems such as asymmetry, curvature, collapse or excess in the shape of the nose,
  • Those who have breathing problems and need a second intervention due to a deviated septum,
  • Those who encounter unexpected complications during the recovery process after the first surgery,
  • Those whose nose structure does not look natural after the surgery or is incompatible with their facial features.

Whether these individuals are suitable for revision rhinoplasty is determined after a detailed examination and evaluation process.

What Problems Can Be Corrected With Revision Rhinoplasty?

Revision rhinoplasty can help correct the following problems:


  • The tip of the nose is too low or too upturned,
  • A hump or collapse on the bridge of the nose,
  • Unequal nostrils,
  • Continued nasal curvature,
  • Formation of hard or irregular areas in the nose after surgery,
  • Continued or worsening breathing difficulties.


When planning revision rhinoplasty to solve such problems, the general anatomical structure of the nose and the patient's expectations are taken into consideration.

When Can Revision Rhinoplasty Be Performed?

The ideal time for revision rhinoplasty is usually at least 6 months to 1 year after the initial surgery. This is because the tissues in the nose need to heal completely and the swelling has completely gone. However, if there is a serious deformity or functional problem that requires immediate intervention, an earlier surgery may be considered.

It is important to be patient during this process and wait for the nasal tissues to heal completely. In addition, general health status should also be taken into consideration when planning the second surgery.
