I had an open (revision) rhinoplasty around 5 months ago only to improve the tip, because my first surgery went badly with the Dorsum area (which was a closed rhinoplasty and initially what I wanted done), but now I want to do some work on my bridge. Now I understand that the tip takes time to heal but would there be ANY way I could only do the bridge without affecting the tip? And if not would I be able to do something with both?

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Dear Jaygirl, In general, the nasal tip takes many, many months to resolve and enhancement surgery should be considered any time after 12 months. The bridge itself can usually be manipulated sooner than 12 months, either further reduction dorsal rhinoplasty or I have found that, while waiting for the nasal tip to improve, injection rhinoplasty, or five-minute nose jobs can provide a nice, stable improvement to the while waiting for the tip and performing open revision rhinoplasty on both after one year. Having trained in both plastic surgery and E/N/T-head/neck oncology and facial trauma, I have had over 20 years of cosmetic rhinoplasty experience, as well as injection five-minute nose job treatments. I hope this information has been of some assistance. For more information, please review the link below. Sincerely, R.
