Good morning, this is M. MEHTA here.I live in Mumbai. Actually I had a rhinoplasty done two months back for correcting my deviated septum and shaving down the dorsal hump in the upper half of the nose.However i can clear still see the dorsal hump in the upper half and it doesn't appear to be swelling, in fact looks and feels like a bone. My plastic surgeon seems to completely avoid the situation. Henceforth, i just wanted to know when can I get a revision rhinoplasty .

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty cannot be considered sooner than 6 months after primary rhinoplasty. The best advice is to take a deep breath and to sit tight for another 4 months. The rationale for waiting 6 to 12 months for revision surgery is to allow all swelling to resolve. You appear to have a masculine nasal profile appearance, and if there's still swelling, it may Improve on its own. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: RHINOPLASTY REVISION Virtually 100% of all rhinoplasties performed in the world, approximately 20% require a revision rhinoplasty, which means that this is very common. In your specific case, this residual hump or dorsal hump, should be carefully evaluated by a surgeon to determine whether or not it is untreated bone or if it is a bone callus( callus osseous). The ideal time frame to undergo a revision rhinoplasty surgery is approximately six months after the initial surgery. The reason for waiting, is that during those six months the healing process creates scar tissue which becomes very fibrous and it is very likely there will be some need of fine tuning so, it is of the most importance to wait a minimum of 6 months. If you operate too soon after the initial surgery, it will only result in a much more complex surgery and may cause complications and unsatisfactory end results. Be patient with yourself and give your nose the time it needs to heal first before going back under the knife. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best.
