They are corrective or complementary surgeries applied to patients who have had rhinoplasty surgery before. According to the literature, 1 in 10 patients undergoing rhinoplasty have various problems that require revision surgery.
It is possible to perform corrective surgery in patients who think that the problem has not resolved with the surgery or that the problem continues despite rhinoplasty.
Patients who have undergone rhinoplasty cannot see the newly formed nose shape immediately. A period of about 1 year is required for the nose to be shaped after the surgery.
At first, edema and bruising on the nose and face may prevent the evaluation of the final nose shape. Patients need to wait for a while for these effects to wear off.
The negative effects of the new nose shape should not be decided immediately. Because most complaints that seem to be negative in the first weeks or months are resolved with the passage of sufficient time.
For these reasons, full recovery should be expected for revision surgery and the shape of the nose should be evaluated accordingly. A second operation performed before this will have a lower success rate.
