After my surgery my nose turned upto be extremely short and upturned tip. Not what I wanted at all. Can tip derotation and lengthening be done safely at 8-10 months? I know 1 year is the standard time to wait to let all swelling go down to see the final result but swelling is not my issue which is why I’m wondering can this be done safely before ?
