When Should Revision Rhinoplasty Be Performed?

Who is Revision Rhinoplasty For?

Patients who have had rhinoplasty but are not satisfied with the shape of their nose can undergo revision surgery. Revision rhinoplasty is an aesthetic operation performed on patients who have previously had aesthetic surgery but have detected some problems with their nasal shape.

When is the Best Time for Nasal Revision Surgery?

Revision rhinoplasty is performed on patients who did not achieve the desired result from rhinoplasty, as well as on patients in whom some post-operative nasal problems are detected. With this operation, the parts of the nose that need correction are revised. Revision surgery is also recommended for patients who have not had aesthetic surgery before but have minor nasal issues. For individuals who have had aesthetic rhinoplasty, it is necessary for swelling and bruising to subside for the nasal shape to fully emerge. After this swelling and bruising have passed, it takes about 6 months to 1 year for the nose to take its final shape. If there are shape deformities or defects resulting from the surgery after this period, revision rhinoplasty is performed. Patients who wish to have surgery earlier, acting hastily, should consider that the result may again be a disappointment and make their decisions accordingly. The date for revision rhinoplasty should be determined based on the physician's medical justifications and knowledge, not on the patient's emotional state.
