Revision Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Revision rhinoplasty price with &NewMe

A revision (secondary) rhinoplasty is a second or later operation on a nose that has already had surgery. Packages listed on &NewMe run from €2,800 to €4,000, updated October 2026. Prices are set by the providers, not by &NewMe. Send photos and your operation details and your coordinator sends a written quote, usually within 24 hours.

When do people consider revision rhinoplasty?

People look into it for different reasons, and only a surgeon who has examined your nose can tell you whether it makes sense:

• Breathing: the nose feels blocked, or breathing is worse than before the first operation.
• Shape: the bridge, the tip or the nostrils do not look the way you and your surgeon planned, or the nose looks uneven.
• Change over time: the nose changed as it healed, for example a tip that dropped or a bridge that became irregular.
• An injury: a knock to the nose after surgery changed its shape.
• A different goal: you want a different look from the first operation.

Revision is common enough that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons lists the possibility of revisional surgery among the risks of any rhinoplasty. It is not a sign that you did something wrong.

How long should I wait before a revision?

Most surgeons want the nose to finish healing first. Swelling goes down over many months, and the tip can take the longest to settle, so the nose you see at three or six months is not yet the final shape. Surgeons often advise waiting around a year after the last operation; some plan sooner when there is a clear reason, for example a breathing problem. While you wait, keep the date of your operation and photos taken at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months in good light. They help a new surgeon see how your nose has changed.

How much does revision rhinoplasty cost in Turkey?

The packages below are the revision packages providers have listed on &NewMe, with the surgeon, the hospital and what the provider says is or is not included. Prices are package prices for surgery, not &NewMe fees.

A revision usually takes longer, the surgeon works through scar tissue, and less of your own cartilage may be left, so grafts are more likely. Cartilage can come from the septum, the ear or a rib, or from a donor (cadaver). Many surgeons price the exact plan only after seeing photos. See also the rhinoplasty cost guide.

What affects the price of a revision

• What your nose needs: a small tip correction costs less than rebuilding the bridge or the supporting cartilage.
• Cartilage: from your own septum, ear or rib, or donor cartilage; rib or donor cartilage usually adds to the price.
• Breathing: correcting the septum or the nasal valves in the same operation is included by some surgeons and priced separately by others.
• How many operations you have had: each earlier operation can make the next one more complex.
• Surgeon and hospital: experience, demand and where the surgeon operates.
• The package: nights in hospital, hotel and transfers included or not.

Two quotes are only comparable when they cover the same work and the same extras.

How a surgeon decides if you need a revision

Expect questions and photos first, and a check in person before the operation. A surgeon will usually want to know what was done, when, by whom and in which country (and the operation report, if you have it); what worries you now, shape, breathing or both; whether the nose has changed in the last six months; and your health, medicines, allergies, smoking and any injury to the nose since surgery. A good surgeon will also tell you when waiting is better, or when surgery is not needed. If you are unsure, ask two or three surgeons for a written opinion and compare what they propose, not only the price.

What photos and documents to send for a quote

• Photos of your nose now: front, both sides, both three-quarter angles, from below and from above, in daylight, no make-up or filters, hair away from the face.
• Photos from before your first operation, if you have them, from the same angles.
• Your operation report or discharge letter, or at least the date, the surgeon, the hospital and what was done.
• Breathing: whether one or both sides are blocked, and since when.
• Health details: medicines, allergies and any other nose or sinus problems.

Your coordinator sends them to the surgeons you choose, and you get the quote in writing. You pay nothing until you accept it. See how to take rhinoplasty photos.

How to choose a surgeon for a revision

Revision is not the same job as a first rhinoplasty, so ask about it directly:

• How many revision rhinoplasties do you do each year, and can I see revision cases like mine?
• Will you plan cartilage grafts, and from where? What if more is needed during the operation?
• Is a breathing correction part of the plan, and is it in the price?
• Who operates, in which hospital, and how many nights are included?
• What follow-up do I get after I fly home, and what happens if I need another adjustment?

A listed revision package means the provider sets a revision price; it is not a measure of experience, so ask each surgeon for their own revision cases. Plastic surgeons and ENT (facial plastic) surgeons both do rhinoplasty; ENT surgeons are often chosen when breathing is part of the problem. Compare profiles, reviews and hospitals in the rhinoplasty surgeon list, and see how we verify providers and how to choose a rhinoplasty surgeon.

Risks and realistic expectations

Revision surgery carries the risks of any rhinoplasty, such as bleeding, infection, breathing problems, numbness and a result you are not happy with. It is often more complex than a first operation, and results can be less predictable, because scar tissue and less cartilage limit what can be changed. Ask your surgeon what is realistic for your nose, what the nose may still look like at 12 months, and what a further adjustment would involve. Swelling and bruising are normal after any rhinoplasty, and the final shape takes up to a year to appear. Get medical help at home first if you have heavy bleeding, fever, severe pain or trouble breathing after you travel.

Planning the trip

Plan for about a week in Istanbul: the listed packages include one to two nights in hospital, and the splint usually comes off after about seven days. Flights, travel insurance and, with some providers, hotel nights and transfers are extra. Many surgeons want to see you before you fly. Ask in writing how follow-up works once you are home. The NHS advises checking the surgeon's qualifications and the aftercare plan before you book surgery abroad.
