Can I Have Revision Rhinoplasty After 9 Months?
asked 1 year ago by Sharpie

Question viewed 311 times
Tags: 9 months post-op, timing
The Chief of the Nose Group of the University of São Paulo School of Medicine which is the biggest medical school in South America is telling me that I am ok to under go a revision rhinoplasty. He has a great reputation and owns the largest clinic in SP along with his brother and father who do the same thing. Many of their surgeries are referrals from previous doctors who have had complications with their rhinoplasties. Should I be ok? What happens if my nose is not ready and they perform surgery?

9 vs 12 months
It really depends on the condition of your skin and tissues as well the surgical plan. Most revision are best done after a year but some can be performed as early as 6 months - when it is evident that the condition will not improve AND unlikely that it will change much with time

Revision Rhinoplasty after 9 Months
Although we frequently suggest waiting a year after the original surgery to have a revision rhinoplasty, this recommendation is not absolute; it does depend on what was done and what needs to be revised. I don't know the surgeon you're talking about, but I suggest you follow his recommendations because he sounds very experienced.

Timing of Revision Rhinoplasty
The standard answer for timing of revision Rhinoplasty is 1 year. Although this is not absolute, the rationale behind is that it takes at least a year for the result from Rhinoplasty to unfold. As Dr. Aldea eloquently put it, there is absolutely no reason to rush.

Time for revision rhinoplasty
As far as the exact timing for rhinoplasty revision it depends on the nature of the initial surgery the recovery of the patient and what the revision entails. A minor revision could be undertaken sooner than a major revision typically.

You may be a candidate for Revision Rhinoplasty 6-12 months after your original surgery.
I read your concern. If your surgeon is a rhinoplasty specialist, and if you have a situation that requires surgical intervention, your surgeon may advise proceeding 9 months after your original surgery.
Revision rhinoplasty surgery is the most challenging operation in the arena of facial plastic surgery. In that regard, I cannot predict your satisfaction or your outcome after your procedure. Choose your rhinoplasty surgeon wisely.
All the best from NJ.

Rhinoplasty revision
One year is the magic number that people talk about. Some patients tissues may be supple enough a bit earlier to go ahead with a revision.
