Rhinoplasty is a highly preferred aesthetic operation that produces beautiful results for many patients. This operation is one of the most preferred aesthetic operations today. As a result of rhinoplasty surgery, patients have healthy and beautiful looking noses. However, sometimes collapse, bending, breathing problems and aesthetic problems may occur in the nose after rhinoplasty. In such cases, the second or more operations are called revision rhinoplasty. Although rhinoplasty usually gives the desired results, some problems may arise in some cases. Functional or aesthetic problems also negatively affect the satisfaction of patients. Since the nose is located in the centre of the face, problems in the nose are also seen more by patients. Revision rhinoplasty is performed to correct the problems in the nose of the patients after the surgery. Since the first surgery usually gives positive results, the rate of revision surgery is quite low. However, it may be necessary in some cases.
The Most Common Problems After Rhinoplasty
• Formation of a nose that does not meet the patient’s expectations.
• Continued breathing problems as a result of not fully identifying functional problems before surgery.
• Collapses due to excessive loss of cartilage and bone.
• Nasal tip drop.
• Curvature and distortion of the nose.
• Infections and traumas due to problems during the healing period.
• Severe asymmetry and deformities.
• Irregularities on the dorsum of the nose and incomplete filing of the arch.
When Is Revision Rhinoplasty Performed?
In rhinoplasty operations, it takes approximately one year for the nose to take its full shape and the healing process to be completed. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for a year to understand whether there is a problem in the nose and to evaluate the patient’s satisfaction. In problematic cases, revision surgery can be performed after 1.5-2 years.
In revision surgeries, the problem must first be identified. The content and size of the problem is the most important factor in surgery. Major or minor problems may develop after rhinoplasty operation. Minor problems such as mild asymmetries, negativities due to delays in the healing process can be corrected 1 year after surgery with minor operations or without surgery. However, major problems such as deformities, collapses, nasal tip fall, respiratory problems, severe asymmetries should be corrected with revision rhinoplasty surgery.
Before revision rhinoplasty surgery, the problems should be well determined and the patient should be well informed about this issue. In cases of excessive bone and cartilage loss due to deformities in the nose, it may be necessary to take cartilage from the ear or nose. Patients should be informed about this.
Revision rhinoplasty is a more challenging surgery than primary rhinoplasty. Patients who decide to have this operation are in a more negative psychology because they are not satisfied with their previous operations. Correcting the mistakes made in the previous operation and removing cartilage losses can also be challenging. However, it is possible to achieve the desired result in revision rhinoplasty operations performed by specialist doctors. Patients can achieve the aesthetic and healthy nose that they could not achieve in their first surgery with revision rhinoplasty.
