Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty

Some patients may not be satisfied after rhinoplasty. New problems may develop after surgery or the patient's expectations may not be met. In such cases, the problems that have occurred in the nose are tried to be eliminated and the corrections that can be made in line with the patient's wishes are made.

Reasons for revision: Artificial appearance, presence of unresolved nasal arch, low nasal tip, over projected nasal tip, excessively long nasal tip, excessively short nasal tip, nasal midline deviation, nasal arch collapse (saddle-nose deformity, inverted-V deformity), persisting breathing problems.

Before Surgery
