Iam 16 years old and this week I had a Septoplasty. As expected, my nose didn't have a visible change. So now, I am thinking of having a Rhinoplasty because I have a crooked nose and it is also very long and I really dislike it.
Answer: Nose still crooked after Septoplasty Hello, Mandy. You will have to wait three months or possibly longer before another operation. The nose still being crooked suggests you may need some more work on the septum. Nature typically takes 100 days to heal any operation, anywhere on the body. So, let things just settle down so that the next operation can visit tissue that is completely healed.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Rhinoplasty okay once healed from septoplasty A septoplasty is performed for breathing issues and is usually covered under medical insurance. This is in no way going to change or alter the shape of the nose. It is simply done for breathing problems and is a medical condition. A rhinoplasty is performed to change, alter, straighten the external portion of the nose and is considered cosmetic and is not paid through insurance. A rhinoplasty can be performed at least two months after the septoplasty to make sure that all swelling from the septoplasty has subsided.

Answer: Wait for six months after septoplasty before doing rhinoplasty If you had a septoplasty recently you need to wait at least six months and better one year to allow the healing to complete and scar tissue to settle. This makes the rhinoplasty easier. Any earlier will be technically harder and will increase the risk of scarring leading to a poor result. Regards

Answer: Rhinoplasty After Septoplasty Hi Mandy, Yes you may have a rhinoplasty. In fact, if your breathing is very good now, your recovery from rhinoplasty should be a bit easier and quicker if no further septal surgery is required. Consult with a few rhinoplasty specialists and make sure that they understand your goals. Then carefully choose your rhinoplasty surgeon. Good luck and enjoy your new nose. Dr. P Los Angeles, CA
