How Long Should I Wait Before I Get Another Rhinoplasty?

In general, one must wait at least a year
after the first rhinoplasty for revisional surgery to allow for normal wound
healing. It is optimal to have your secondary surgery performed by a
rhinoplasty expert, one who has Experience, Expertise, and has delivered Exceptional
results in rhinoplasty. This is the most complicated, difficult operation in
cosmetic surgery.

It is acceptable to undergo a revision rhinoplasty one year after your surgery. This is the time it takes for full healing and allows your surgeon to assess how best to revise your nose.    

One year is an adequate time to wait before undergoing revision rhinoplasty.  More important question is how to proceed.  As you probably have learned by now revision rhinoplasty is one of the more difficult procedures for a surgeon to master. The goals is to create a beautiful nose with nice proportions that fits that particular face. In my practice we offer computer imaging to our prospective rhinoplasty patients, so that the goals and aspirations of the patients can be communicated. Of course not all surgeons that can created changes on the computer can produce those changes in the operating room. Pick you rhinoplasty surgeon carefully.
