Lexie Wang, MD · Answer

Can you? Yes. Should you? I really recommend waiting as long as you mentally can before you do a revision rhinoplasty. Even though it is only one month, the longer you wait, the more healing your body is able to do and minimize your risk of complications with your next surgery. Revision rhinos are tricky enough as is, so you want to give yourself the highest likelihood of success.

It’s generally advisable to follow your surgeon’s recommendations regarding the timing of revision surgery. Waiting for the full healing period, typically a year, allows your body to recover and the results to stabilize.

Best of luck !

Hello. According to medical studies, it is recommended to wait 1 year for revision rhinoplasty. You are in your 11th month, maybe there will not be much change in 1 month, but it is useful to trust classical knowledge. Therefore, I recommend you complete 1 year.
