Post-Operative Care for Ethnic Afro Rhinoplasty in Antalya
Recovery after ethnic Afro rhinoplasty in Antalya requires attentive aftercare to ensure smooth healing and natural, balanced results. Because ethnic rhinoplasty often involves thicker skin and more delicate cartilage, post-surgery swelling may last slightly longer than in other nose types—but with proper care, results refine beautifully over time.
Dr. Hüseyin Balıkçı provides personalized recovery guidelines for every patient:
- Keep the head elevated, especially during sleep, for the first week to minimize swelling.
- Use cold compresses as directed and avoid any pressure on the nose.
- Do not wear glasses or sunglasses for two weeks to prevent strain on healing tissues.
- Gently clean the nostrils with saline solution and apply prescribed ointments.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or direct sun exposure for at least one month.

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.
