The moment my cast was removed I stared into the mirror and hated what I saw. My nose looked too flat and big on my face, far from what it looked like before. Prior to my surgery, my nose had a huge bump and was thinner. He removed excessively off the bridge and my bridge now looks fat and my tip looks huge. I really need a revision because im so depressed. Before the surgery I used to be a happy, straight A student, but now I feel like im going down hill :/
Answer: Revision rhinoplasty, over resected dorsum, how long for revision rhinoplasty Dear yama,It is advisable to wait 6-12 months prior to performing a revision rhinoplasty. If you are comfortable with the primary surgeon then a waiting period closer to 6 months can be considered appropriate because he is familiar with the initial surgery and will be more comfortable with what is necessary to correct the problem. If you are not comfortable with the primary surgeon then used to should wait at least 12 months. A rhinoplasty can evolve significantly over that length of time correcting some abnormalities and possibly revealing others that might not be apparent earlier. Time also allows for a more stable skeletal structure within the nose which gives the revision surgeon a better framework to work from. In my practice I insist patient's wait a full 12 months prior to performing a revision rhinoplasty. It is the best and safest approach.

Answer: How soon for a revision rhinoplasty?
I'm sorry you are having so much trouble. I would recommend that you wait at least a year so that you have complete healing and an accurate judgement about the amount of correction can be made. Also consider having a consult with computer imaging so that you and your surgeon can be sure to be on the same page about how much to change your nose.
