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.

Who Needs

Revision Septorhinoplasty?

Patients who experience breathing obstruction, nasal asymmetry, collapsed nasal valves, or dissatisfaction with appearance after prior surgery may be ideal candidates. Common reasons for revision include:
  • Persistent nasal blockage or septal deviation

  • Tip irregularity or drooping after healing

  • Over-reduction or loss of structural support

  • Visible scarring or unnatural nasal contour

Before recommending surgery, Dr. Balıkçı performs comprehensive evaluations using endoscopic imaging and 3D simulation to identify exact problem areas. Candidates should have completed at least 12 months of healing after their previous procedure and maintain realistic expectations. With his dual specialization in ENT and facial aesthetics, Dr. Balıkçı provides individualized treatment plans focused on balanced proportions and restored breathing comfort.

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:

Comprehensive analysis of internal and external nasal structures using high-definition imaging.

Precise incisions through an open or closed approach, depending on scar tissue and correction needs.
Removal of irregular scar tissue and realignment of the nasal septum for functional improvement.

Reconstruction of nasal support using cartilage grafts harvested from the ear or rib if required.

Ultrasonic bone refinement with Piezo rhinoplasty technology for smoother, trauma-free correction.

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. 

Post-Operative Care and Recovery After Revision Septorhinoplasty

Recovery after revision septorhinoplasty in Antalya requires patience and adherence to aftercare instructions. Dr. Balıkçı’s patients receive personalized follow-up schedules and 24/7 support for comfort and safety.

Recommended care steps:

  • Keep the head elevated during sleep for the first week to reduce swelling.

  • Avoid heavy exercise, sun exposure, and wearing glasses for 2–3 weeks.

  • Use saline sprays and prescribed medications as directed.

  • Attend regular check-ups for splint removal and healing assessment.

  • Refrain from blowing the nose or applying pressure to the nasal bridge.

How Much Does Revision Septorhinoplasty Cost in Turkey?

The revision septorhinoplasty cost in Turkey depends on several factors — including the extent of reconstruction, cartilage graft requirements, and surgical technique. Because these procedures are more intricate than primary ones, pricing is typically higher but remains significantly lower than in Europe or the UK.

At Dr. Hüseyin Balıkçı’s Antalya clinic, the average cost of revision septorhinoplasty in Turkey covers:

  • Pre-operative evaluation and 3D simulation

     

  • Surgery, anesthesia, and hospital stay

     

  • Medication and post-operative care

     

  • Follow-up consultations and translation support for international patients

     

Turkey’s medical tourism system offers excellent value with transparent pricing and world-class standards. Choosing a certified ENT and facial aesthetic surgeon like Dr. Balıkçı ensures a safe experience, predictable results, and lifelong improvement in both nasal function and appearance.
