Mark on nose after rhinoplasty - will I need a revision surgery? (photos)

This is from your sunglasses pressing on the area. I would not wear any glasses until 6 months as this may push on the edema and cause irregularities that may or may not be permanent.

Hi @Compassionate713055! Swelling after a rhinoplasty can last up to 12 months. If you are still noticing the mark after 12 months, I would return to your surgeon and explore your options. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photo. When recovering from a rhinoplasty procedure, it's important to remember that the nose can continue to change throughout the following year. Being that your surgery was only one month ago, you’re likely still experiencing some swelling that will significantly impact your ability to see your final result. If the mark you’re referring to is still visible after a full year, revision surgery can diminish its appearance.

Keep in mind that each subsequent nose surgery becomes more complex due to the loss of structural support, scar tissue, and other factors. The importance of experience, expertise, and artistry cannot be overstated. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to oversee your recovery process and answer any questions you may have.

If you have an indentation along your upper bridge causing the appearance of a line, Microdroplet silicon1000 injections may be considered for a permanent fill. Considering asking your question with profile photos. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph.

Good Morning! If it's only been 1 month, I would definitely give it more time. You likely have a lot of swelling still present. Make sure to keep any glasses off the area as it can cause excessive compression. Continue follow-up with your surgeon. If after 12 months the spot still exists, a revision may be needed to correct the problem. Hope this helps!
