What is Revision Septorhinoplasty?

Revision Septorhinoplasty is a nose surgery for people who didn't get the results they wanted from their first surgery. It helps fix the look and function of the nose. Basically, if you're not happy with your previous nose job or have trouble breathing, this surgery might be what you need.

Revision Septorhinoplasty Recovery Timeline

Recovery Duration: It usually takes a couple of weeks to feel better, but your nose might take up to a year to fully settle into its new shape.

Stay in Turkey: You'll need to hang around for about a week or so after surgery, just to make sure everything is okay before you head home.

Return to Work: Most folks can go back to work in about two weeks, depending on what you do for a living.

Return to Exercise: You can start gentle exercises after 3 weeks but save the heavy stuff for at least 6 weeks.

Visibility of Final Results: You'll see the real shape of your nose emerge as the swelling goes down, usually within a year.

Activities to Avoid: For about six weeks, avoid anything that could hit your nose, like some sports.

Diet Post-Surgery: Initially, stick to soft foods and cool drinks. Avoid hot drinks and tough foods until you're feeling better.
