How soon can I get a revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

CC2211Nov 5, 2025
I had a rhinoplasty in July, and I detest my results. I genuinely cringe every time I catch a glimpse of myself. My surgeon said I need to wait 1 year before getting a revision, but a surgeon I had a consultation with in Korea said I only need to wait 6 months. I’m curious about why there’s such a significant difference between what the two doctors said. For reference, my septum was straightened because my nose had been broken multiple times, and there was a lot of deprojection.

That is a very delicate area, and it is quite unusual to make an incision there. Unfortunately, once an incision has been made, the scar will be permanent.I would not recommend attempting to excise the scar, as this would likely worsen its appearance. It may be possible to place a small alar rim...
