Is a revision rhinoplasty at 5 /6 months post op too soon? Worried about the risks but unhappy with current results (photos)

I would wait an entire year minimum to think about doing any revisionary procedure. That bump is where the bone was fractured to narrow the nose. Sometimes this does "break" correctly and you can get deformities of the bone. I would definitely see a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty who is also board-eligible or board-certified with training in aesthetic plastic surgery (not an ENT or OMFS).

Hi @km727! I am sorry that you are not happy with your results. I recommend waiting a year before considering a revision rhinoplasty since you can be swollen for up to 12 months. I would also request a second opinion from a facial plastic surgeon that specializes in revision rhinoplasty. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photos. Though much of the swelling is reduced within four months, your nose will be in a phase of recovery for at least one year following your rhinoplasty procedure. It is generally suggested to wait until this entire recovery process is complete to consider a revision, even if you’re only interested in shaving down the bump you’re referring to.
Since each subsequent nose surgery becomes more complex due to loss of structural support and scar tissue, the importance of experience, expertise, and artistry cannot be overstated. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to assess your surgical history and concerns to determine the best course of action for you.
