Revision Rhinoplasty After 7 Months?

I've spoken to many doctors and most have said to wait at least a year. Yesterday I saw one of the most famous doctor here in NY and he said that he could perform surgery on me ASAP. I was so surprised about this. Could this be true? He said it is because he has to add cartilage not remove anything so he does not have to wait? He said my chin implant he can do as well. I saw another doctor today and he said I should wait another 6 months for my nose and the chin implant he needs to see an x-ray?
