When should I consider revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I had a rhinoplasty done three months back to remove the dorsal hump and correct my deviated septum. However the doctor didn't take out the hump and this has given my nose a very weird look.I know i am only three months in this process, but i feel each day my nose i getting worse. This has put me into depression, hence just wanted to know, did i get botched, and if so when should i consider revision

It seems that you have a residual hump. Ideally, it is best that you have revisiin at least 1 year after surgery. But, if you are stressed too much, I can recommend doing revision 6 months after surgery. Thanks.

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. I’m sorry that you’re unhappy with your initial rhinoplasty results. It’s typically recommended to wait a full year after your surgery before considering revision. If you’re still dissatisfied with your nose’s appearance at that time, revision rhinoplasty can address the aesthetic changes you’d like to make. You can also consider dermal fillers at the six-month mark to temporarily change the shape of your nose as you complete the full recovery phase.

Please note that each subsequent nose surgery becomes more complex due to the loss of structural support, scar tissue, and other factors. 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 review your surgical history, discuss your concerns and goals with you, and determine the best course of action.

Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case from the photos you provided. I would definitely recommend you a revision surgery. There is no projection, the hump is still there and the tip looks droopy. You can have a revision surgery at earliest 6 months after your first nose surgery.
