Generally, we advise patients to wait one year before considering revision surgery to address any problems. This is due to the ongoing healing process of the soft tissues and final results can't be determined until that time. If the problem is restricted to the bone (ie persistent deviated nasal bones), then it is reasonable to intervene earlier. For example, if a deviated nasal bone is noted in the early postoperative period, one can attempt to medialize the bones.
Within the first 10 to 14 days, it may even be done in the clinic. Your surgeon may also discuss using sedation in an appropriately credentialed facility. If a problem with the nasal bones is noted after two weeks, one can still intervene sooner than a year but may need to recut the bones in order to solve the problem.
