8 months post closed rhinoplasty - will a revision help? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. Any patient considering revision rhinoplasty should wait until their noses have completely healed from their last rhinoplasty, which can take up to a year or more. If after a full year you are still dissatisfied with your results, you may pursue revision rhinoplasty. Because revision rhinoplasty is a more complex procedure than primary rhinoplasty, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Your surgeon can do a proper assessment of your nose, determine the best surgical approach, and provide you with the best possible results.

After one year, then consider a revision rhinoplasty. It can be revised with another closed rhinoplasty approach. It is very important to know how much cartlidge is left over on the inside of your nose grafting purposes..

You will also need a cartilage graft in the midportion bridge where there's a saddle deformity
