How Soon After Bad Rhinoplasty W/ Overrated Tip Can I Try Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty?

irsiAug 4, 2013
My tip was elevated with Medpor tip top graft /ear cartilage in open revision rhino 8 weeks ago. I have thick skin & I know part of what I'm seeing is normal swelling, but I feel incredibly self-conscious & pug-nosed.I don't think I'm infected, but this was an overcorrection I regret. When is it safe to seek a filler to slightly lengthen/downturn the nose again & what should I seek?My surgeon provided prednisone instead of Kenalog injections & admittedly refuses to administer Kenalog at all.

In general, it can take 18-24 months before the final result of rhinoplasty is evident. This is especially the case if your procedure was a revision. 70% of the swelling is resolved after the first 3 months, and the remainder goes down over time. Your nose will continue to change over time, and...
