Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision surgery is not about aesthetics, but
Treatmentis

Revision rhinoplasty has a higher level of difficulty than the primary surgery and must be performed with caution, requiring a meticulous and experienced specialist. We accurately diagnose the cause for revision and the current condition, and balance it with the overall harmony of the face.

The timing for revision surgery is usually considered after 6 months, when the tissue has stabilized, and if there is inflammation, treating the inflammation comes first.

We begin by examining together why it had to be done again, proceeding with devotion that heals even the heart.
