Can I consult with different surgeons this early (2 months post-op)?

February 3, 2023
Asked By:Honest468593 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I am 2 months post op and my surgeon has confirmed my suspicions that I will require revision surgery. He said he would like to wait 1 more month, then arrange it sometime after 3 months post op. After my experience I do not feel confident having revision under the same surgeon. I understand revision is usually not possible until 6-12 months post op, but if I contacted new surgeons at this stage for a consultation would they discuss my options for future revision/give me a second opinion?
