Hate revision rhinoplasty results, can't wait a year - what should I do? (photos)

Question

I had a revision rhinoplasty and I hate my results. It's been 6 months and my nose is wider, the tip is circular and hangs to the right and my nose is upturned. What should I do? I can't wait a year. Help!

Hi there! Sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your result. Although it's been 6 months, it really is recommended to wait at least 12 months in revision cases to ensure all swelling has subsided. By proceeding before that time, you may miss the full extent of the problem (or, address something too soon that might resolve on its own). During the waiting period, I have patients tape nightly, do compressions if needed for swollen areas, and inject steroid to help improve fullness. There are certainly ways to correct the problems with the tip structure and rotation, though patience at this point is key. Best of luck!

Hello. Ask your doctor about the techniques he/she used and if he/she took photographs during the surgery. Some revision nose surgeries do not heal very long and 6 months may be enough for a second or third revision. I’m the only triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon all around Europe. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost every country in the world and explains my techniques to important doctors with the seminar invitations I receive, so I am definitely the only doctor who can perform your operation very comfortably and successfully. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile (+90 539 204 40 90). You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.
