Revision rhinoplasty operations that even people considering to get a nosejob for the first time may be worried about, in fact does not have to be so scary. Due to problems in the appearane or in the functionality of the nose, when the aimed results are not achieved, revision rhinoplasty operation can become an option. While the need for a revision rhinoplasty can be obvious soon after surgery, it can also present itself in the long term as well.

While the need for a revision rhinoplasty basically presents itself due to problems with appearance or functionality, the contents of these matters may vary. Excess tissue removal may have been done, or less than enough tissue may have been removed, complications during or after the surgery may occur, the appearance aimed for may not have been achieved, functional problems may not have been improved. Also if the patient does not do their part in the recovery process after the surgery, the results to be gained may also be hindered and create the need for a revision rhinoplasty.

With revision surgeries, sometimes with small touch-ups, sometimes with extensive, reconstructive approaches, the problems that are faced can be resolved and the patient can feel satisfied. In cases that require reconstructing in the nose, ear or rib cartilage can be used. The need for a revision rhinoplasty will be reduced if the patient has realistic goals that are suitable for their anatomy, chooses a right surgeon and is well informed and careful about the postoperative recovery process.

Sometimes patients can need tertiary or quaternary revision surgeries in addition to secondary surgeries. Even though each revision surgery can make any possible future revision surgery harder, with a correct choice of surgeon, even in cases with multiple revisions, good results can be obtained.
