Can I get revision rhinoplasty after 6 months? Since what I'm concerning has nothing to do with swelling. (Photos)

Based on your photos, you appear to have a pleasing nasal profile appearance 6 months after rhinoplasty surgery with rib cartilage. Since revision rhinoplasty is exponentially more difficult than primary rhinoplasty, it will be helpful to know what is bothering you so we could see how best to advise you moving forward. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs alone, it is difficult to tell what bothers you the most. If you do ultimately end up getting revision, this can be done as early as eight months depending on your individual anatomy. Some patients need to wait much longer. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
