Seconder Rhinoplasty

Secondary rhinoplasty is a corrective surgical procedure performed to address aesthetic or functional issues following a previous rhinoplasty operation. This type of surgery is typically chosen when the results of the initial surgery were not as expected, complications occurred, or there was a deterioration in nasal function.

Why is Secondary Rhinoplasty Performed?

  • Aesthetic Results: When the expected aesthetic results from the first rhinoplasty are not achieved, such as nasal asymmetry, drooping or overly large nasal tip, or other shape concerns.
  • Functional Issues: If issues such as nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, or other functional problems arise.
  • Complications: If complications such as infection, scar tissue formation, or a disruption in the nasal structure occur after the first surgery.

The Process of Secondary Rhinoplasty

Secondary rhinoplasty is generally more complex and challenging than the primary procedure, as it involves correcting changes already made to the nasal structure. The surgery is performed to repair the nasal structure, restore the desired aesthetic shape, or correct internal nasal functions. This operation requires delicate and precise intervention on the nasal bones, cartilage, and skin.
