Nose is bulbous/nostrils are asymmetrical 6 months after rhinoplasty - should I wait before getting a revision? (photos)

Thank you for your question and photos. You are correct to consider waiting before undergoing a revision. Rhinoplasty recovery takes at least one year as there may still be residual swelling and the nose can continue to settle during this time.
After adequate time has passed, you may look further into how revision rhinoplasty can provide more symmetrical results while reducing the appearance of a bulbous tip. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can evaluate your results and concerns while taking your surgical history into account.

It is better to wait for a year after rhinoplasty procedure to give the nose time to heal and swelling to subside. At this time you might consider consulting with your surgeon if steroid injection can help.

Thank you for this question! The healing process after rhinoplasty can take a long time. This is dependent on the type of rhinoplasty you had done, and how fast you heal from prior surgeries. In general, 6 months after surgery is well within the healing window. In our experience, healing can take up to 1 year to 18 months after rhinoplasty. If the bulbous-ness persists after that time frame, speak with your surgeon about any further recommended procedures to address it.
