Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary nose surgery performed to correct cosmetic or functional concerns after a previous rhinoplasty. At Cosmedica Aesthetic in Istanbul, treatment is planned individually to help patients improve nasal appearance, breathing, and overall balance.
Revision rhinoplasty is often more complex than primary rhinoplasty because the nasal structure may already have been altered by previous surgery. At Cosmedica Aesthetic, patients receive an individualized assessment that considers prior surgical history, current nasal shape, skin condition, breathing function, and available cartilage for reconstruction if needed.

People are often unhappy with the look of their nose after the first operation. This could include concerns about the shape, size, symmetry, or appearance of the nose.
Some individuals may experience functional problems after their previous surgery. This includes breathing difficulties because of an obstruction or collapse of the nasal passages.
Asymmetry, persistent swelling, or poor wound healing may necessitate revision surgery to achieve a more satisfactory outcome.
As aging occurs or healing progresses, some patients may notice changes. These prompt them to seek further refinement through revision surgery.
Trauma to the nose following the initial rhinoplasty may require corrective surgery.
Advances in surgical techniques or technologies may offer new possibilities for improving the results of previous procedures.
Candidates may include patients who are unhappy with the cosmetic result of a previous rhinoplasty, experience breathing difficulties, or want to address structural concerns after healing. Suitability depends on nasal anatomy, surgical history, general health, and realistic expectations.

Your Surgeon
Dr. Ufuk Durgun is a board-certified plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon based in Istanbul, Turkey. With over a decade of specialist experience, he has earned recognition as a RealSelf Top Doctor and recipient of the WhatClinic Award.
Dr. Durgun performs both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques and tailors each procedure to the patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. He conducts consultations in English, German and Turkish.
The cost of revision rhinoplasty in Turkey is often more affordable than in countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom. At Cosmedica Aesthetic, revision rhinoplasty starts from €3,490. The final cost depends on the complexity of the case, the surgical approach, and the level of aftercare required.
Revision rhinoplasty in Turkey usually begins with a free online consultation and detailed assessment of the previous surgery, current nasal structure, and patient goals. Because revision cases are often more complex than primary rhinoplasty, treatment planning must be individualized and may involve structural correction, cartilage grafting, or functional improvement depending on the case.
After the assessment, patients receive guidance on the treatment plan, travel arrangements, surgery, and recovery timeline. The step-by-step process below outlines what patients can generally expect when having revision rhinoplasty at Cosmedica Aesthetic in Istanbul.
Revision rhinoplasty is usually more complex than primary nose surgery. A detailed consultation is important to understand what can realistically be improved and which surgical techniques may be needed.
Previous Surgical History: Your surgeon will review your previous rhinoplasty and any changes made to the nasal structure. This helps guide the surgical plan and identify the best approach for revision.
Scar Tissue and Nasal Structure: Scar tissue from earlier surgery can affect both planning and technique. It may influence how the tissues heal and how much correction is possible.
Cartilage Availability: At Cosmedica Aesthetic, we always support our patients after revision rhinoplasty surgery. We want to ensure that the healing process runs smoothly without any complications.
Healing Time and Expectations: Opt for clinics offering multilingual support to ensure clear communication. Our surgeons and medical assistants at Cosmedica Aesthetic in Turkey freely speak English, German, and Turkish. We also provide on-site translators who speak other languages.
Here’s a simple explanation for each step of a surgical treatment process:
Your journey begins with a free online consultation to discuss your previous rhinoplasty, current concerns, and treatment goals. This first step helps our team understand your case and determine whether revision rhinoplasty may be suitable for you.
Revision rhinoplasty requires careful evaluation because the nose has already been altered by previous surgery. Your surgeon assesses the nasal structure, skin condition, scar tissue, and any functional concerns before creating a personalized treatment plan.
Once your treatment plan is confirmed, our team helps you organise the practical details of your visit to Istanbul. This may include support with scheduling, airport transfers, and hotel accommodation for a smoother treatment experience.
On the day of surgery, you are welcomed to the clinic by Dr. Ufuk Durgun and the medical team. Revision rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia using the surgical approach best suited to your individual case.
After the procedure, you receive post-operative care and detailed instructions to support the early healing process. A nasal splint is typically worn for about one week, while swelling improves gradually over time.
Your recovery continues after you leave Turkey, and our team remains available to support you during the healing period. Follow-up communication helps monitor your progress and answer any questions as your final results develop.
Recovery after revision rhinoplasty happens gradually and can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the individual healing process. While the early recovery phase usually lasts a few weeks, the final result develops over several months as swelling continues to settle and the nasal shape becomes more refined.

Rhinoplasty revision typically lasts 2-3 hours, depending on the complexity.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, or anesthesia complications. However, these risks are minimized with experienced surgeons and modern facilities.
The recovery period typically ranges from 1 to 3 weeks, during which swelling and bruising gradually subside. Final results may take several months as swelling subsides and tissues settle into their new shape.
Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary nose surgery performed after a previous rhinoplasty. It is used to correct cosmetic concerns, structural issues, or functional problems such as breathing difficulties.
Revision rhinoplasty is usually more complex than primary rhinoplasty because the nasal anatomy has already been altered by surgery. Scar tissue, healing changes, and limited cartilage can make planning and correction more challenging.
Candidates may include patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose after previous surgery or who experience breathing problems or structural concerns. Suitability depends on factors such as general health, nasal anatomy, surgical history, and realistic expectations.
In many cases, surgeons recommend waiting until the nose has fully healed before considering revision rhinoplasty. This often means waiting around 12 months, although the exact timing depends on the patient and the nature of the concerns.
In some cases, revision rhinoplasty may help improve breathing if functional issues are caused by structural problems in the nose. A detailed consultation is needed to assess whether breathing concerns can be addressed during the procedure.
Early recovery usually takes a few weeks, and many patients return to social activities after around 7 to 14 days. However, swelling can take several months to fully improve, and healing continues gradually over time.
The cost of revision rhinoplasty in Turkey can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, the clinic, and what is included in the treatment package. At Cosmedica Aesthetic, revision rhinoplasty starts from €3,490.
