Failing rhinoplasty? Will I need to have a revision? (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question. It difficult to tell just based on the photos. At eight months post-op, you are still swollen. The final results take at least 1.5 years for the swelling to fully resolve. This can require lots of patience and waiting. Steroid injections performed by your surgeon can be extremely helpful. I usually start steroid injections around 1 to 2 months after surgery and continue as needed. I recommend that you maintain close follow up with your qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
