Unhappy with Results - Should I Get a 2nd Rhinoplasty?

it can take up to one year for all of the swelling to go away from the tip of your nose. It is best to wait at least that long even if a revision is necessary since this could make your result worse if you had surgery sooner. I would follow regularly with your surgeon as there may be interventions that can be done during the healing process to improve the results.

It takes at least one year for the nose to fully heal following rhinoplasty. The last part to come in is the tip of the nose. If you had a lot of initial swelling and/or thick skin it can take even longer. I try to dissuade my patients from even considering revision surgery at three months. This should not be addressed verbally until at least 6 months and not done before a year or more. Your surgeon should be able to judge how much swelling remains at 1 year.

I read your concerns and reviewed your photos. You appear to have significant residual swelling in your tip even though your Rhinoplasty was 3 months ago. I don't think your laryngochondroplasty (Adam's apple reduction) is contributing to your tip swelling. Ask your surgeon if he thinks a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) injection to your nose might be helpful for the tip swelling. 

Based on how good you look now, I don't think you'll request further nasal surgery. I think your tip will significantly improve over the next 3 months, so sit tight for now.

All the best from NJ.
