What is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty, also called secondary rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct or improve results from a previous nose surgery. It addresses both aesthetic concerns and functional problems that may have developed after the initial rhinoplasty.
Revision rhinoplasty is significantly more complex than primary rhinoplasty because the surgeon must work with altered anatomy, scar tissue, and often weakened or missing cartilage structures. This is why it's crucial to choose a surgeon who specializes in revision cases.
Previous surgery creates scar tissue, altered blood supply, and structural changes. Revision rhinoplasty often requires cartilage grafting from ear or rib to reconstruct the nose properly. Only experienced revision specialists should perform these procedures.
Primary vs Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is fundamentally different from primary nose surgery. Understanding these differences helps you appreciate why specialist expertise is essential.

Scar Tissue Challenges
Previous surgery creates internal scarring that obscures anatomical landmarks, making precise work more difficult.
Altered Blood Supply
Prior surgery disrupts blood circulation, increasing healing risks and requiring more careful surgical planning.
Structural Deficits
Often cartilage was removed or weakened, requiring reconstruction with grafts from ear or rib.

The Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure
Revision rhinoplasty is more complex than primary surgery. Here's what to expect during your corrective nose surgery journey.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Your surgeon carefully examines your nose, reviews previous surgery records, analyzes photos, and discusses your concerns and goals. CT scans may be used to assess internal structures.
Surgical Planning
A detailed surgical plan is created based on your unique anatomy and previous surgery. This includes determining if cartilage grafts from ear or rib will be needed for reconstruction.
Anesthesia & Open Approach
General anesthesia ensures your complete comfort. Revision rhinoplasty almost always uses the open technique for maximum visibility and precision when working with altered anatomy.
Scar Tissue Removal & Reconstruction
The surgeon carefully removes scar tissue, assesses remaining structures, and begins reconstruction. Cartilage grafts are harvested if needed and precisely placed to rebuild the nasal framework.
Closure & Splinting
Once the corrections are complete, the incisions are meticulously closed. Internal splints support healing, and an external cast protects and shapes your new nose.
Extended Recovery & Monitoring
Revision cases require longer recovery monitoring. You'll stay in Istanbul for 7-10 days with multiple follow-up appointments. Cast removal occurs around day 7-10.
Why Revision Takes Longer
Revision rhinoplasty typically takes 3-5 hours compared to 1.5-3 hours for primary surgery. This is because your surgeon must carefully navigate scar tissue, work with altered anatomy, harvest and place cartilage grafts, and ensure all corrections are precise. The longer surgery time is essential for achieving the best possible results in complex revision cases.
