I’ve read a couple different places that sometimes it’s better to revise a short upturned nose before the skin shrink wraps to the new structure. But I’ve also read that it’s best to wait a year for all swelling to subside before getting a revision. Curious what your opinion is on this. My primary rhinoplasty was 6 months ago.

Answer: Revision of the over-rotated tip Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a good candidate for a revision to treat your over-rotated and over projected tip. Tip derotation and tip deprojection would be very helpful for you. I will consider this type of revision at eight months post-op, while other types of revisions require longer wait times. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
