Hi. I had a open revision with a Beverly Hills surgeon who spent 6 hours working on me. My first surgery only lasted 2 hours and was closed and I saw my final result at 7 months. Now I have no idea. I had my surgeon tell me it will take up to 2 years to see a final result, and another revision surgeon tell me 2.5 years. I am now at 1 year and 3 months and it is still very boulbous looking. The lower half of the nose especially looks swollen. Can it change much from here?
