Why Can't I Have an Early Rhinoplasty Revision?

The reason we make patients wait 6 months or more is to let the tissue soften and return to its final shape. However, I think there are exceptions to this rule based on how far along you are in the healing process. You do not want to compound the problem. You should see a revision rhinoplasty specialist with a great deal of experience.
A short, overdone nose is a very challenging problem and should only be undertaken by a surgeon who is familiar with this problem. He should be able to show you before and after revision noses like yours.

This is a great question. Certainly the issues with your nose do not seem to be improving and in many ways are not likely to improve without revision. The reason to wait is for the nose to "settle" and for all of the swelling to resolve.  This will give the revision surgeon the best chance to correct and improve the nose, and will help you have a shorter, less difficult recovery after the second surgery. Best of luck!
 

Typically most of the swelling in the nose resolves within the first few weeks following rhinoplasty but there is a small residual amount which can take up to 12 months or longer to resolve. There is also a gradual process of contracture as the nose becomes increasingly refined, particularly at the tip. Going in too early for revision surgery is not advised because there may be other issues with the nose which haven't yet become apparent. Additionally, the surgeon may be addressing issues which are still evolving. Revision rhinoplasty is among the most challenging of plastic surgery procedures and should be performed by surgeons with extensive training in this area. It is particularly important to have patience in these cases, to optimize the chance of success when the revision surgery does take place.
