Would a revision easily fix mu shifted and crooked nose? 6 months post op (photos)

Based on your photographs, your nose still appears to be quite swollen, and since your surgeon is overseas, it may be in your best interest to wait until all of your swelling has completely resolved before considering another procedure. Other issues may or may not pop up. If the convexity along the right side wall of your nose continues to worsen, depending on your examination, it may not be terribly difficult to perform one-sided osteotomies and move the convex nasal bones what's the midline for a straighter nasal appearance. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello @gronin12, thank you for your question. When considering the timing of a revision rhinoplasty, it is important to factor in both the healing process and the timeline set by your surgeon. Most surgeons will recommend waiting at least 6-12 months before undergoing revision rhinoplasty. This allows time for the nose to heal properly and for swelling to subside before performing a secondary surgery. During this period, keep in close contact with your surgeon and inform them of any changes or complications that may arise over time. Additionally, following their postoperative instructions can help ensure successful results from your initial procedure and minimize risks during future revisions if necessary.

It is also important to note that everybody heals differently from one another; so while 6-12 months is an indicator, some patients may take longer than 12 months for optimal healing results. In these cases, patience is key! Your body needs time after such an invasive procedure as revision rhinoplasty - pushing past these timelines could result in poor outcomes or further complications down the line. With that being said, be sure to discuss any concerns with your surgeon if they suggest proceeding entry into surgery sooner than expected than what was initially discussed prior to treatment.

Ultimately, it's important to be patient during your recovery process and ensure that you understand all of the risks associated with undergoing another surgery so soon after your rhinoplasty. It helps immensely to discuss any concerns you may have directly with your doctor beforehand so they can manage expectations accordingly and help gauge whether or not now really is the ideal time for a revision procedure.

It is difficult to completely straighten a crooked nose. In your case I think your bridge is too wide. If the bones were broken then were not adequately narrowed
