Benjamin C. Marcus, MD answers: Do I need a revision Rhinoplasty?

I had a closed Rhinoplasty nearly 4 months ago. I have noticed that the swelling has gone from the bridge, but the tip doesnt seem to have gone down as much. I feel that the tip of my nose from the side now looks too big for the top part which has gone down, making my nose look unbalanced. By four months, I feel most of the swelling should have gone in the bridge and tip. Should i think about a revision?

Absolutely too soon to tell.

I do up to 150 noses a year and every single patients wonders if they are healed at 3-4 months.

Looking at photos over time I can assure them (and you) that you have at least 30% of your healing to go.

So, be patient and its likely you will have a great result.
