The nose framework is an important structure that carries the nose, gives the nose its shape and provides breathing properly to pass through it. It is important for nasal surgeries to be performed it with appropriate strength and regularity. One of the most frequent and important reasons for revisions of nasal surgeries is an insufficiently strong and unbalanced nose framework. The reason for important pathologies such as nostril asymmetries, pinching deformity, Polly beak deformity, saddle nose deformity, and nasal valve collapse that we frequently see in revision cases is that the nose framework does not have sufficient strength and regularity. In almost all cases opened for revision, there is a need to correct the nose skeleton. Therefore, in revision surgeries, the most important stage of achieving aesthetic and functional progress is to reconstruct the nose framework. In this presentation, we would like to convey our approach and experience on this subject to the participants with both surgery videos and animation videos of our techniques, some of which have been published in international journals.
Approximately half of the rhinoplasty surgeries we perform in our clinic consist of revision cases. The most common and important problem we encounter in revision rhinoplasty is that the nose framework is inadequate, unbalanced or crooked. We aim to share our experiences regarding this important problem and the techniques we apply to repair the nasal skeleton in revision cases with case examples.

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. And I organise “NoseCraft Live Surgery Course“ on rhinoplasty, every year.
