Time to nasal revision afetr a primary Rhinoplasty
The time between a primary rhinoplasty and revisional surgery is dependent on what was done at the initial rhinoplasty. If the area for revision is the nasal tip I would defer surgery for six to twelve months .If the area for revision is not the tip of the nose it could be addressed depending on the problem.

RHINOPLASTY REVISION/WAIT TIME
It is usually suggested that a patient wait for 1 year before attempting to a have rhinoplasty revision. It takes approximately 1 year for all of the swelling to be reduced and the appearance of the nose can go through some visual changes during this time.

Revision rhinoplasty timing.
In order to proceed with a full revision rhinoplasty it is generally recommended to wait 1 year in order for the tissues to complete the healing process.

Sorry that you are unhappy. Usually you have to wait about a year for the swelling to subside and for the tissues to heal before undergoing a revision.

How long to wait for revision rhinoplasty
We usually recommend waiting about a year to allow the nose to settle and the scarring/inflammation to calm down. You may find that the upturned nature of your nose will settle it heals.
It's usually best to get a good sense of the nose's baseline before doing a revision.

with that said, given that you are only at 3 mo you may see changes in the next few months that make you more comfortable with you results
if not visit with someone with experience with revision
rhinoplasty is complex,...
