Correcting Failed Rhinoplasty: A Second Chance at Natural Breathing
Repair of Cartilage Loss (Nasal Valve) and Structural Reconstruction
Looking in the mirror after a rhinoplasty and failing to see the result you imagined — or breathing far more poorly than before — is a deeply wearing experience. If you are living with an asymmetric appearance, an over-resected (pinched) nasal dorsum, a drooping tip, or the breathing difficulty known as nasal valve collapse, the first thing to know is that you are not alone, and that the situation is not without remedy.
Correcting a failed rhinoplasty (secondary or revision rhinoplasty) is considerably more complex than a first operation and calls for advanced ENT and facial plastic expertise, because the supporting tissues and cartilage inside the nose have often been removed or damaged irreversibly during the first procedure.
At our Lider Centrio clinic in Bayraklı, İzmir, Op. Dr. İbrahim Korhan approaches these demanding cases on the principle of reconstruction. Missing or collapsed cartilage structures are repaired with micrometric precision using cartilage grafts taken from your own body — usually from behind the ear or from rib cartilage. Without any foreign or synthetic material, we restore both the aesthetic proportions of your nose and its airways using your own biological tissue. To erase the marks of the past and make a new beginning in which you breathe with confidence, you are welcome to our transparent assessment process, where every step is planned together.
