Revision Rhinoplasty in Ankara - Prof. Dr. Serdar Öztürk

Revision rhinoplasty is a corrective procedure for patients who are dissatisfied with the results of a previous nose surgery. In Ankara, revision rhinoplasty performed by Prof. Dr. Serdar Öztürk, an expert in aesthetic surgery, aims to meet both the aesthetic and functional expectations of patients.

Patients who did not achieve their desired outcome after the initial nose surgery may find themselves with a nose shape that differs from what they had envisioned. This situation often leads to the need for additional surgery. Revision rhinoplasty is performed in such cases to achieve a more satisfying aesthetic result. But why do people need revision rhinoplasty? The most common reason is the failure to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance after the first surgery.

When considering revision rhinoplasty, it is important to evaluate whether the imperfections in your nose are immediately noticeable when you look in the mirror or when others see you. If the flaws are prominent, revision surgery can address these issues. Minor aesthetic imperfections, on the other hand, can often be corrected with simple touch-ups. However, it is crucial to have a detailed discussion with your surgeon. There is a saying among aesthetic surgeons: "Perfection is the enemy of good"; hence, careful consideration is necessary before opting for additional procedures.

Revision rhinoplasty is especially suitable for patients who experience aesthetic or functional problems after their first surgery. A failed nose surgery can result in disproportion, which negatively affects facial expression. For example, if too much tissue is removed from the nasal bone, the distance between the eyes may appear wider, giving the face an unattractive appearance. Similarly, if too much cartilage is removed from the tip of the nose, it can create a pinched appearance, making the person look stern and angry.

In a successful rhinoplasty, the nose should appear as a single, harmonious structure when viewed from the front. However, after a failed surgery, the nose may look segmented, which can disrupt the facial harmony. Additionally, the nostrils should be visible to a certain extent; if the nose tip is overly lifted, it can result in what is commonly referred to as a "piggy nose."

The recovery process after revision rhinoplasty is also important. If breathing problems occur following the initial surgery, this can negatively impact the nose’s respiratory function. Revision surgery not only addresses aesthetic issues but can also improve nasal breathing.

The ideal time for revision rhinoplasty is at least 6 months after the initial surgery. If possible, waiting 10-12 months is even better, as this allows the nose to fully settle. Attempting corrective surgery too early can exacerbate existing issues.

In the revision rhinoplasty procedures he performs in Ankara, Prof. Dr. Serdar Öztürk meticulously analyzes his patients' noses and strives to meet their aesthetic expectations to the fullest. Post-operative care for revision rhinoplasty is similar to that of the initial surgery and is typically a pain-free process.
