Hello, im a 19 year old male and i got closed rhinoplasty last year in may in turkey. my nose had a big bump and it turned out to be broken. but the surgeon made it 10x worse. I saw the crookedness immediately at cast off (1 week post op), but he told me it was swelling and it would subside. After 6 months i asked how it was still crooked, he told me one of the bones had shifted. Is this easily fixable? should i go for revision? i had done everything my doc asked me to.. what should i do
Answer: Would a revision easily fix mu shifted and crooked nose? 6 months post op Hello @gronin12, thank you for your question. When considering the timing of a revision rhinoplasty, it is important to factor in both the healing process and the timeline set by your surgeon. Most surgeons will recommend waiting at least 6-12 months before undergoing revision rhinoplasty. This allows time for the nose to heal properly and for swelling to subside before performing a secondary surgery. During this period, keep in close contact with your surgeon and inform them of any changes or complications that may arise over time. Additionally, following their postoperative instructions can help ensure successful results from your initial procedure and minimize risks during future revisions if necessary. It is also important to note that everybody heals differently from one another; so while 6-12 months is an indicator, some patients may take longer than 12 months for optimal healing results. In these cases, patience is key! Your body needs time after such an invasive procedure as revision rhinoplasty - pushing past these timelines could result in poor outcomes or further complications down the line. With that being said, be sure to discuss any concerns with your surgeon if they suggest proceeding entry into surgery sooner than expected than what was initially discussed prior to treatment. Ultimately, it's important to be patient during your recovery process and ensure that you understand all of the risks associated with undergoing another surgery so soon after your rhinoplasty. It helps immensely to discuss any concerns you may have directly with your doctor beforehand so they can manage expectations accordingly and help gauge whether or not now really is the ideal time for a revision procedure.

Answer: Rhinoplasty It is difficult to completely straighten a crooked nose. In your case I think your bridge is too wide. If the bones were broken then were not adequately narrowed

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty A short answer: yes. You could have a revision surgery to correct the shape and structure of your nose however, I would suggest waiting for another six months to have the procedure done. A good strategy to plan your surgery would be to research doctors and have in-person or online consultations to get a general sense of what the fees would be like.
