Q: Revision rhinoplasty for tip refinement 4 months after initial surgery?
At four months post-op, there is likely to still be some tip swelling after Rhinoplasty. Because this is the most dependent (lowest) part of the nose, it takes longer for the lymphatic drainage of the nasal tip to return to normal.
Most surgeons would advise you to wait a full year before considering a revision, unless there is an obvious problem that is unlikely to resolve spontaneously with the passage of time.
Also, further refinement or narrowing of the nasal tip may make you perceive the bridge to be too wide: the "see-saw" effect. Each rhinoplasty revision becomes progressively more difficult as well.
Trust your surgeon's judgement, and be patient.
