My surgeon's assitant told me that sometimes he performs revisions after 8-10 months depending on the conditions of the patient. I have thin skin and my surgeon said that after 6 months my inflammation process should be pretty much over. They also thought that my healing/scarring process has been fast. Is this true? And also, is it wise or is always better to wait 12 months?

Hi @Genuine209146! I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Often times, if a dent arises in the nose after rhinoplasty, it can be improved with a filler. If this works, then silicone can be placed which will give a more permanent result. It is certainly easier than going through another surgery. Be sure to see an experienced injector for consultation.
If your droopy nasal tip appearance is bothering you, the best way to address this may be with revision rhinoplasty. In our experience, fillers do not lead to tip lifting. If you decide to do further surgery, your operative report may be helpful to see what has been done. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph
