Revision Rhinoplasty (2026 Guide)
Information for patients who are dissatisfied with a previous rhinoplasty: revision rhinoplasty techniques, recovery, and evaluation.
What is Revision Rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective surgery performed on patients who have previously undergone one or more rhinoplasty surgeries but are dissatisfied with the result due to aesthetic or functional reasons.
Dr. Oray Karaçaylı performs revision surgeries using open technique, potentially utilizing rib cartilage grafts for structural support, ensuring a natural result that harmonizes with facial features.
Why is Revision Needed?
Common reasons include nasal tip drooping, pollybeak deformity, breathing difficulties, or aesthetic asymmetry. The surgery aims to restore both form and function.
Recovery Process
Recovery is similar to primary rhinoplasty but swelling may persist longer. Full results are typically seen after 1 year.
FAQ
