How soon after rhinoplasty can bones be reset? I am 6 weeks post op and you can tell that the bones are uneven. Can this be done sooner than 6 months? What procedure can be done in office vs. operating room and would a full revision be needed to get that done?
Answer: Bones Uneven 6 weeks after Rhinoplasty
If there is a visual difference, wait 6 months for swelling to be reduced. If there is a palpable difference, there may not need to be a revision. If there is a minimal amount of rasping that needs to be done, this can be done under local.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty revisions should wait 9-12 months depending on the circumstances. Without pictures, it is impossible to determine what the specific problem is, or whether your assessment is correct. If there are major asymmetry issues with your nasal bones, osteotomies will have to be repeated. This procedure is best performed under anesthesia. However, many issues do resolve with a tincture of time. Stay in close contact with your Surgeon and try to be optimistic.

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery recovery
Dear renap1,
I would wait the full 6 months for all of the swelling to come down
Even though you can tell it is not right, we need to wait so we can know exactly where to reset the bones
It is something that can be done pretty easily without a long surgery, but you should probably be asleep for it
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani

Answer: Need time before considering a revision rhinoplasty
The real question is if you see an external abnormality. It is not unusual to feel some degree of irregularity of the nasal bone area after an osteotomy or fracturing of the bone. The bone of the nose is membraneous bone and heals quickly and will remodel over time. Ask your surgeon for an evaluation and give it time to smooth out. It the bones are actually not aligned accurately then a revision could be done.

Answer: Nasal bone issues
I would give it six months to a year before considering revision of nasal bone issues. It is too early to treat at this point.
