What Are the Risk in Having a Rhino-revision Surgery 4 Months After the Initial Surgery?

Three months ago I had rhino-plastic surgery. The swelling in my bridge has gone down but the bulbus still has some swelling I have been told. However, the bridge has changed the total look of my face. My eyes are no longer full and round but slanted and drown inward towards the center of my face. This new nose appears to be long and disproportionate. I would like to have the bridge removed so I can look like me again!

Initial swelling right after surgery may be evident near the eyes,... more

Don't do it.

It is much too early to consider any revision surgery. It really can take 18 months to see the real result of a rhinoplasty. Things you don't like now may go away. Please talk to your surgeon about what he/she might recommend for non surgical treatment.
