I had a Rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago, where the tip was trimmed, the nostrils were narrowed, and nose was set back a little. But it's too subtle and I want it done again. However, I don't want to wait until a year later after the procedure. There is hardly any swelling now. I will see my surgeon in 6 weeks. Can I have another Rhinoplasty sooner than a year? How soon after a Rhinoplasty can revision be done?

Answer: Early revision nasal surgery Generally, we advise patients to wait one year before considering revision surgery to address any problems. This is due to the ongoing healing process of the soft tissues and final results can't be determined until that time. If the problem is restricted to the bone (ie persistent deviated nasal bones), then it is reasonable to intervene earlier. For example, if a deviated nasal bone is noted in the early postoperative period, one can attempt to medialize the bones.
