The Benefit of Revision Rhinoplasty Abroad 

It isn't possible to control the results of a rhinoplasty procedure, even with a qualified surgeon. Undergoing a rhinoplasty surgery with an unqualified surgeon will result in unsatisfying results, forcing you to undergo a second procedure known as revision rhinoplasty.

Revision rhinoplasty is more difficult because the surgeon has to correct and work with damaged tissue. You might think returning to your previous doctor is safer. But it's better to find a qualified surgeon who's experienced in revision rhinoplasty. With revision rhinoplasty abroad, you can find more qualified and inexpensive surgeons than in your local country.

There are other appeals to having revision rhinoplasty abroad:

 You can have access to one of Europe's leading cosmetic surgeons.

The geographical location plays a role. Turkey and Croatia have gained a reputation as top destinations for rhinoplasty surgeries. Also, the vast number of patients who travel to these destinations adds value to their experience and understanding of international patients' expectations.

Modern facilities and equipment 

The revision rhinoplasty specialist uses the latest technology and equipment in their field. Ensuring your treatment will have great results and a higher success rate.

Get access to superior patient care service.

Most doctors usually see their patients once a month. So, an average doctor spends fewer than seven minutes with a patient. Ultimately, this means that patients don't experience good patient care services from their doctors.

On the other hand, you can expect to be treated with care and respect when you go abroad. Revision rhinoplasty surgeons in renowned hospitals take time to talk to patients.

You can access more innovative treatment options. 

Traveling abroad to have revision rhinoplasty will open other possibilities or introduce a better, more effective treatment.

Tips For Choosing The Best Revision Rhinoplasty Clinic Abroad 

  • Schedule an online consultation. Most clinics or hospitals that work with international patients offer this service. 
  • Create a shortlist of possible clinics abroad:  research the clinic you plan to visit overseas. Most reputable clinics will have an official website, and you can examine the specialist's expertise, reviews, and credentials.  
  • Understand the procedure you need. Understand the procedure plan you need. Visit your local doctor and understand what treatment best suits your case.
  • Research the condition of the clinic before booking. It's recommended to visit the clinic before booking and finalizing the procedure. Talk to the staff and past patients if possible. 
  • Verify the surgeon's experience. Ask about the surgeon's education, additional fellowship training, and how many times they performed the treatment. 

Ideal Candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty Abroad

How Is the Surgery Performed Work?

Revision rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging plastic surgeries because of the complicated anatomy of the nose and working around damaged tissues from the previous surgery. In revision rhinoplasty surgeries, the surgeon's experience becomes vital to delivering satisfactory results.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery from revision rhinoplasty can take longer to heal. A patient who undergoes revision rhinoplasty can take more than one year to recover from side effects like inflammation fully. Each surgery is different, and each patient's needs are different. Also, some patients heal faster than others.

After the surgery, immediately expect some nose bleeding and bruising. One week after the revision surgery, you will experience some pain managed with medication. But breathing through the nose will still be challenging.

After several weeks, you can begin light sports but avoid sports that need physical contact. Swelling and bruising will fade, and you will start to look and feel healed.

Revision Rhinoplasty Complications 

  • Reduced skin elasticity
  • Nose bleeding
  • Diminished blood supply
  • Damaged or missing skeletal elements.
  • Pain
  • Increased subcutaneous scarring
  • Anesthesia risks
  • Infection

Revision Rhinoplasty Success Rate

Revision rhinoplasty has a success rate of 5% - 10%.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

Is revision rhinoplasty more painful?

Most patients report they experience a low degree of pain. And experience a faster recovery period compared to the previous rhinoplasty surgery. Revision rhinoplasty surgery will result in less bruising. But it depends on the amount of revision your case needs.

Should I go to the same surgeon for revision rhinoplasty?

It is advised to seek the consultation of your primary doctor who performed the rhinoplasty. Then seek a second opinion from an expert surgeon who has experience in revision rhinoplasty surgeries.

How many times can you have revision rhinoplasty?

There is no accurate number of times you can have revision rhinoplasty. It is vital to choose the right surgeon. Each surgery will come with a set of complications and risks increase. But the procedure will get more complicated the more you have it.

How difficult is a third rhinoplasty?

It is possible to seek third revision rhinoplasty. But it will have more risks compared to previous surgeries. It is best to wait until you're fully recovered, which is a year after your last rhinoplasty surgery.

Which country is best for revision rhinoplasty?

Turkey is considered one of the best destinations for medical tourism. It hosts best-in-class plastic surgeons and modern facilities.
