Lie to rhinoplasty surgeon about the date of my last surgery?

January 19, 2016
Asked By:Chl0eM in Miami, FL

If I lie about the date of when I last had rhinoplasty to a revision surgeon will they find out? For example, if I had surgery 8 months ago, but I say that I had surgery 12 months ago will they find out? Some surgeons won't perform revisions until a year has passed, even if the swelling is gone. I can't wait a year and I will take full responsibility for the lie. But how would they really know when I last had surgery for sure?
