Revision rhinoplasty is a well-known practice in rhinoplasty surgery in order to solve the problems that arise as a result of previous nose surgery , so they can resolve problems as the size, width, profile, tip and nasal asymmetry and the respiratory problem as a result of structural failure in the nose. Sometimes it must be used grafts obtained from ribs or ear to correct the problem.
Revision Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct an unwanted result of the first rhinoplasty. The nose is a complex structure and expert rhinoplasty requires simultaneously correcting nasal deformities while preserving maximal nasal function. The rhinoplasty operations are complex and sometimes unexpected situations can happen. In some cases, complications may occur during the healing process due to the complex structure of the nose.

If all of the cartilage in the nose is used in the first operations, cartilage is taken from the ear or rib in revision operations. For bone or cartilage supplementation, cartilage and tissues taken from the patient’s own body are used due to the possibility of any risk of allergic reaction. Revision rhinoplasty is performed with general anesthesia.
Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure for all patients that are not satisfied with the result of the first surgery, due to problems such as unwanted irregularities, collapse, disfigurement, and inability to breathe.

Revision rhinoplasty is a procedure aim to correct cosmetic deformities in patients that are often unhappy with their prior surgery because this first surgery was not successful in completely correcting the problem but also for patients who continue to have difficulty breathing problems or congestion. Revision rhinoplasty is a much more difficult procedure than the first rhinoplasty due to the change of anatomical plans and the presence of missing tissues.
The success of surgery, correction of physiological functions, as well as the diagnosis and correction of the problems that have occurred in the nose is one of the points to be considered. A revision rhinoplasty is a much more difficult procedure as scar tissue from prior rhinoplasty is often an issue in revision cases and can limit the final outcome since it may recur even after successful revision rhinoplasty.

But if you are very uncomfortable you can do coffee-sniffing exercises 1-2 times a day.
Revision rhinoplasty can be performed by closed or open method. Open nose surgery is usually preferred if there are major structural changes. Minor corrections are usually done with a closed technique. Revision rhinoplasty requires only incisions on the inner wall of the nose to reach the nasal skeleton, there are no scars on the outer nasal skin. Allows the surgeon to directly interfere with the nasal skeleton. However, because the incision is required, the recovery time is longer than the closed technique. The decision to use the closed or open technique in revision nose surgery depends on the condition of the case and the surgeon’s preference, and both techniques contain advantages and disadvantages.
Revision rhinoplasty restores structure and strength to the nose to improve nasal airflow. Form and function are directly correlated, so improving nasal function also enhances the appearance of the nose and vice versa so you can breathe easier after the procedure.
