Hey. I had tip plasty performed nearly a month ago. It was to raise the tip of my nose slightly because it was too long for me face and dipped a lot when I smiled which made me incredible self concious. I'd always put my hand over my face when I smiled. Now it has been done, he has not raised the tip at all. It is just a bit swollen. How long to I have to wait to get it done again? Thanks X
Answer: Waiting a year is best If you have had a previous rhinoplasty and are not satisfied with the appearance in the tip area, a minor revision tip rhinoplasty can be performed. Typically, however, most surgeons recommend waiting a full year to allow healing to occur. This way both the surgeon and the patient know that they are looking at a final result and that healing from the past has resolved.

Answer: Revision tip rhinoplasty Remember that the image you're looking at in the mirror right now may well change significantly in the next several months so be patient. Revision tip rhinoplasty is usually delayed 6-12 months following the initial operation to allow all the swelling in the nasal tip skin to resolve so as to make an accurate diagnosis and successful sugical treatment plan. Revision tip plasty is usually performed through an open approach. Cartilage grafting is commonly used to provide adequate tip support and definition. Surgery on the nasal septum is often needed to shorten the nose and may have been overlooked with the initial surgery. If you want to obtain a second opinion, you might wish to see a plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience with revision rhinoplasty which is more challenging.Best of luck
