How long after rhinoplasty can I do tip plasty? Do I really have to wait 6 months?

Question

Hello I did rhinoplasty and septoplasty about two months ago, but I am not at all satisfied with the shape of my nose and my face has become ugly because the tip of my nose is damaged and it is very high. My question is, at least how much more time can I do tipplasty? Because I got depressed. Do I really have to wait 6 months to a year?

Hello and thank you for your question. Since you anre only two months postop, I would definitely recommend waiting longer. You at least can start doing consults for a revision at six months postop. Depending on exactly what the issue is some surgeons will recommend waiting one year for surgery and other patients we can safely do surgery as soon as eight months post-op. But it really depends on your individual anatomy. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
