Is 6 months enough before a revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

December 7, 2017
Asked By:tikvataran in New York, NY

I had my first rhinoplasty about 3 months ago. I wasn't happy with the result, so my doctor said that we should wait at least 6 months before doing the revision rhinoplasty. Is this accurate or should I wait longer? Obviously I want it ASAP, but safety and good results are of utmost importance. Backstory: My nose was slightly elongated and had a slight bump. He lifted it into this position on my face which I like, but I think he removed too much of my dorsal hump and too little from the tip...
