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: Timing of Revision Rhinoplasty In general, most rhinoplasty surgeons prefer to wait for one year before performing a revision rhinoplasty because it can take as long as a year for the swelling to subside and for scar tissue to mature.

Answer: How soon can I get revision rhinoplasty? Thank you for your question. I highly recommend you to wait at least one year between surgeries. This will give your nose enough time to heal and swelling to subside.

Answer: Wait At Least One Year Before Revision Rhinoplasty Considering that you are still only two weeks into recovery, I would say it is still too soon to judge how your new nose will look. Swelling is most apparent at this stage in your healing, and will be a major factor in how your new nose looks for about another 1-2 months. That being said, I typically advise my patients to wait at least one full calendar year before considering getting a revision rhinoplasty. This way, you will be able to see how your recovery proceeds and really have the chance to think about your decision before committing to a second surgery.

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.
