How soon to consult for a revision rhinoplasty for a small nose?

Question

I had rhinoplasty two months ago. I have been trying to be patient with the healing before drawing conclusions, but I am far enough out that I can see the gist of the work. It is sloppy. I had a deviation and needed support for my nasal valve. It is obviously too small for my face, extremsly wide and upturned. I will wait 18mos before revision, but want to start planning. How early is too early to consult?

Por lo general, no solo en Rinoplastia, sino en cualquier procedimiento de cirugia plastica, el proceso de cicatrizacion conlleva varias fases que generalmente requieren al menos doce meses para llegar a la maduracion, que es la etapa donde se observa el resultado definitivo. Manetenr una buena comunicacion con su cirujano, es la mejor manera de sobrellevar este periodo, ya que es el o ella quien sabe acerca de su condicion preoperatoria, el analisis y discusion del plan quirurgico con usted, los cuidados postoperatorios a seguir, asi como los cambios esperados(modificaciones) posibles y los no posibles o no esperados. La nariz es un organo muy noble, le sugiero sea paciente, por favor ya que por ahora no se debe hacer nada, excepto dejar que evolucione y sane completamente. Un saludo cordial.
