Revision Septorhinoplasty
Revision septorhinoplasty in Turkey is a specialized procedure that corrects both aesthetic and functional issues following a previous nose surgery. It addresses residual deformities, breathing problems, or unsatisfactory cosmetic results caused by scar tissue, cartilage loss, or over-resection. This operation is more complex than primary septorhinoplasty because the nasal structure has already been altered.

How Is Revision Septorhinoplasty Performed in Turkey?
The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia and may last 3–5 hours, depending on the complexity of previous surgeries. At his modern Antalya clinic, Dr. Hüseyin Balıkçı follows a meticulous, step-by-step process:

Internal splints and fine sutures placed to maintain stability during healing.
This detailed method ensures minimal bleeding, reduced bruising, and an outcome that enhances both breathing and aesthetics, making Antalya one of the best places for revision septorhinoplasty in Turkey.
What Are the Risks of Revision Septorhinoplasty?
Because it involves previously operated tissues, revision septorhinoplasty carries slightly higher technical challenges than first-time procedures. However, in skilled hands, these risks remain low and manageable.
Possible risks include:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or nasal stiffness
- Prolonged healing due to scar tissue
- Minor asymmetry or irregular contour during recovery
- Short-term breathing obstruction from internal swelling
- Rare infection or delayed cartilage healing
Dr. Hüseyin Balıkçı minimizes these complications through careful pre-operative planning, gentle tissue handling, and advanced microsurgical techniques.

Revision Septorhinoplasty FAQ
In most cases, surgeons recommend waiting at least 12 months after the first surgery so that swelling fully resolves and tissues stabilize. Operating too early can lead to unpredictable results and a higher risk of complications.
Yes, revision surgery is usually more complex because there may be scar tissue, missing cartilage, or altered anatomy from the first operation. This often requires advanced techniques and sometimes cartilage grafts from the septum, ear, or rib.
Revision surgery can significantly improve both the appearance and function of your nose, but it may not achieve “absolute perfection,” especially if the tissues are severely damaged. A detailed consultation is important to match your expectations with what is surgically possible.
Early recovery is similar, with most swelling and bruising improving within 1–2 weeks, but residual swelling may last a bit longer than after primary surgery. Final results can take 12–18 months to fully settle, especially at the tip of the nose.
In many revision cases, extra support is needed because cartilage from the first surgery has been removed or weakened. Your surgeon may use cartilage from your nasal septum, ear, or rib to rebuild and stabilize the nose for a more predictable, long-lasting result.
