Secondary rhinoplasty depends on the extent of the deformity resulting from the initial rhinoplasty, as well as the patient’s facial features and preferences.

This type of surgery often requires the use of cartilage, either from the patient’s own rib or from a rib bank where ready-made ribs from donors are available, to reconstruct the internal and external structures of the nose. This achieves a harmonious aesthetic appearance and ensures good respiratory function.

In secondary rhinoplasty, recovery is usually slower compared to the initial procedure, and the final results are delayed slightly. The nose continues to improve gradually, and this improvement period can last from one to one and a half years.
