Must I Wait 6 Months Before Revision Rhinoplasty?

September 5, 2010
Asked By:SQ5Grrl in Chicago

These photos are of my 3-month post-first-septorhinoplasty. I have contacted several of you as I read carefully through this board. I respect my surgeon for taking on this complex surgery, but I will definitely need revision/reconstructive surgery. I turn 40 2-days before my 6-month healing period. I would like nothing more than to have a surgery done before or for my birthday. I'd love your opinions on my case and any recommendations.
