REVISION RHINOPLASTY (REVISION RHINOPLASTY)

Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective surgery performed on patients who have previously undergone rhinoplasty but have not achieved the desired results or have experienced functional problems. This procedure, usually scheduled 6 to 12 months after the initial surgery, is performed to improve aesthetic appearance or address functional issues.

These types of surgeries are more challenging than primary rhinoplasty because the tissue structure may have changed, the cartilage may have reshaped, or the healing process may have evolved in different directions. Therefore, revision surgery must be performed by experienced surgeons with careful planning.

WHY IS REVISION RHINOPLASTY PERFORMED?

The most common reasons for revision rhinoplasty include drooping nasal tip, asymmetry, a collapsed or hump-shaped nasal dorsum, breathing difficulties, and nostril disparity. While these issues can sometimes be addressed with minor adjustments, other procedures requiring extensive cartilage grafting may be necessary.

HOW IS REVISION RHINOPLASTY PERFORMED?

In revision rhinoplasty, the nasal structure is typically supported by tissue taken from the patient's ear or rib cartilage. This procedure provides both aesthetic and functional reconstruction of the nose. Therefore, the duration and technical details of the procedure can be more complex than those of primary rhinoplasty.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN IS REVISION RHINOPLASTY NOT PERFORMED?

After the first surgery, it is generally necessary to wait 6-12 months.

IS REVISION NECESSARY AFTER EVERY RHINOPLASTY?

No, but some patients may continue to have aesthetic or functional problems.

IS REVISION RHINOPLASTY MORE DIFFICULT?

Yes, it is a technically more complex procedure because the tissue structure changes.

IS CARTILE TAKEN AGAIN IN REVISION SURGERY?

Ear or rib cartilage can be used if necessary.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PROCESS AFTER REVISION RHINOPLASTY?

Similar to the first surgery, approximately 1-2 weeks of rest and a full recovery period of 6-12 months are expected.

CAN EVERY PROBLEM BE SOLVENTED WITH REVISION SURGERY?

Many problems can be corrected, but the outcome depends on the patient's existing nasal structure.

WHY ARE REVISION SURGERY PRICES MORE EXPENSIVE?

It is more costly as it requires more experience, time and special techniques.

What Factors Affect Revision Rhinoplasty Prices?

Because revision rhinoplasty is a more complex procedure than the initial surgery, pricing also varies. The most important factors influencing this difference are the surgeon's experience and the difficulty level of the procedure.

First, the surgeon's expertise is crucial in revision rhinoplasty procedures. These types of surgeries require detailed planning, more precise surgical techniques, and specialized tissue requirements. This naturally impacts the price. As the surgeon's experience increases, the cost of the procedure can also increase.

If additional procedures such as cartilage grafting are required (such as tissue harvested from the ear or rib), the surgery may take longer and the surgical difficulty may increase. This directly impacts the cost of the surgery. The techniques and technology used (such as piezoelectric technology) may also make a difference in price.

Regional factors such as the patient's city of residence, clinic density, and demand for cosmetic surgery also influence prices. Prices are generally higher in larger cities and popular cosmetic surgery centers.

Ultimately, revision rhinoplasty costs vary depending on the surgeon's expertise, the extent of the surgery, the techniques used, and regional factors. For healthy and aesthetically pleasing results, value and expertise, not just price, should be prioritized.

IN CONCLUSION;

The hospital or clinic where the surgery will be performed plays a significant role in the price. Procedures performed at private hospitals can be more expensive due to the technology used, postoperative services, and care. The duration of the surgery also affects pricing. Revision surgeries generally take longer and require more resources.
