When can I safely get a non-surgical rhinoplasty revision?

Question

I had revision rhinoplasty 1 month ago, and the bridge and the radix are way too thin in regards to the tip, I know theres still swelling but in the case of the proportions staying the same. When can I safely get a non surgical revision in order to balance my nose with filler in the radix and beginning of the nos bridge?

In general the Radix of the nose Loses swelling relatively quickly. That said, I agree that it is best for surgical swelling to resolve before proceeding with injectable fillers. If you are comfortable with your doctor, judicious and cautious injections maybe reasonable, depending upon your examination. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

It's important to follow up with your surgeon regarding any concerns you have about the appearance of your nose after rhinoplasty. They will be able to assess your nose and determine if any further procedures, including non-surgical revision with fillers, are appropriate at this time.

In general, it's recommended to wait at least 6-12 months after rhinoplasty before considering non-surgical revision. This allows enough time for the swelling to fully subside and for the nose to settle into its final shape. However, your surgeon may have a different recommendation based on your specific case.

It's also important to ensure that any non-surgical revision is performed by a qualified and experienced injector, as this is a delicate area and there are risks involved. Your surgeon may be able to recommend someone they trust to perform the procedure.

In the meantime, try to be patient and give your nose time to heal. Swelling can take many months to fully subside, and the final result of rhinoplasty can take up to a year or more to become fully apparent.

Best of luck !

Dear Lacey10
I would recommend you wait at least 6 months before doing any fillers to your nose . Wait until all swelling subsides.
