The Procedure

Revision rhinoplasty corrects issues from previous nose surgery. The surgeon can use an open or closed approach. The choice depends on what needs to be fixed.

The closed approach is less invasive. It has a shorter recovery time. There is no external scar. The open approach gives better access to the nose structure. It is preferred for major revisions and crooked noses.

The surgery often requires grafts. Surgeons first use cartilage from the nasal septum. If that is not enough, they take cartilage from the ear or rib. Rib cartilage comes from the 7th rib through a 2-3 cm incision.

Surgery time varies widely. Minor corrections take 30-60 minutes. Major revisions typically last 3-4 hours. The complexity and graft harvesting affect the duration.

Recovery and Stay

Patients stay in the hospital for 1-2 days after surgery. The total recommended stay in Turkey is 10 days. This allows for proper follow-up care.

Swelling takes time to resolve. In patients with thick skin, it may take up to 2 years. Revision rhinoplasty has higher risks than primary surgery. These include more scar tissue, graft issues, and prolonged swelling.
