Waiting time for tertiary surgery

April 8, 2024
Asked By:teamug12 in New York, New York

I had two surgeries to address the bridge and tip of my nose respectively. They were both performed open and did not involve correcting any work done prior. I am wondering what the waiting time for a third surgery would be- does the nature of the third surgery (deprojection) make a difference?
