Nose Surgery
Revision Rhinoplasty
A secondary nose surgery correcting shape and breathing problems.
Approximate timings reflect the practice information supplied for Op. Dr. Soner Tezcan. Additional procedures, health and recovery may change the plan. Surgery, stay and activity plans are confirmed during consultation and follow-up.
What is it?
Revision rhinoplasty corrects remaining deformity or breathing issues after a previous nose surgery.
Who is it for?
After previous nasal surgery, tissue recovery and suitability for further surgery are assessed individually.
How is it done?
An open approach is generally used; rib or cartilage obtained behind the ear is selected according to the support required.
Recovery
Approximate return to work/social life: 10–12 days. This does not mean full recovery or clearance for exercise or flying. Swelling and tissue settling may take longer and are reviewed during follow-up.
Aftercare and follow-up
- One or two checks are planned before departure according to the return date. A flight report is provided; fitness and timing for travel require medical assessment. Anti-embolism stockings form part of the care plan.
- Antibiotics, pain relief, stomach protection and antibiotic ointment are used only as prescribed. Dose, application site and duration are individual; do not start treatment independently.
- Absorbable sutures are used; routine stitch removal is not planned. Scar cream is started after wound closure at the time advised by the surgeon.
- Nasal spray is used as prescribed. Glasses are avoided for the first two months; subsequent use depends on review.
- General activity plan: gentle walking in week one; light exercise after week two; regular sport after month one; weight lifting after month two. Every stage requires review and surgeon clearance; some procedures need longer restrictions.
