Rhinoplasty surgery has been increasingly performed in recent years and is among the most commonly performed surgeries today. As a result of such a high number of rhinoplasty surgeries, complications and problems have also increased at a similar rate and revision surgeries have become important. The main limitations in revision rhinoplasty are mucosa and skin. Problems such as serious mucosa and skin losses, skin collapses due to infection and abscesses, nostril over resections, severe retractions and serious deformities due to skin necrosis are considered under the title of extreme revisions. Almost half of the rhinoplasties we perform in our clinic are revision cases. We have significant experience with such extreme revisions. We would like to share our experiences with the participants with case examples.
It is bothersome for both the patient and the surgeon when a patient needs a revision in rhinoplasty surgeries. Especially if it is an extreme revision, it can be catastrophic. In this course, our aim is to first talk about the ways to avoid such troublesome revisions and then to mention about solutions to make such revisions better aesthetically and functionally, and to share our experiences with sample case video presentations, animations and illustrations.

After completing many national and international studies between 2012-2017, I was appointed as an associate professor at the same university. After this stage, I focused only on nasal health and aesthetics. I have conducted many studies on rhinoplasty. In 2022, I was appointed to the ENT department of Medipol University as a professor. I still continue my work here. I organize Rhinoplasty Fellowship programs in our university. To date, we have accepted and trained fellows from all over the world.
