Hi It's been 7-8 monts since my rhinoplasty. My nose still looks bent/crooked to one side, although it is better than it was post surgery. My surgeon says its difficult to make it better in terms of make it more straight, so he won't consider a revision surgery. What are your thoughts? I think it could look more straight than it is and I would happily do a revision surgery.
Answer: Please consider re-asking you a question with before and after photos. We always advise our patience that the goal of rhinoplasty surgery is improvement of nasal appearance and breathing. We always try to get somebody's nose perfectly straight, however, sometimes we fall short. It's difficult to assess your results with the two small photos that you posted and without knowing what you started with. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty I would recommend waiting the full time to heal from the initial surgery. It is difficult to determine the adequacy of this outcome without seeing the prior pictures. If you are not going to follow up with your original surgeon....I would go see a board-certified plastic surgeon (with plastic surgery residency and aesthetic fellowship training) for a consultation.

Answer: Please give me a 2nd opinion of my results after rhinoplasty? Hello @Dkaap, thank you for your question! Generally, you should wait a minimum of one year before considering revision rhinoplasty after undergoing the initial surgery. The healing process can take up to a year, so it's best to be patient and follow all of your doctor’s post-operative instructions in order for the best results. During this time, any swelling that remains from the original surgery should have reduced significantly if not completely disappeared. Once your body has had enough time to heal properly and adjust to the changes made with rhinoplasty, you can consider further treatments or revisions if necessary.
