I : I would recommend waiting 9-12 months to allow the nose to adequately heal. During the healing process swelling will decrease and scar tissue will mature. You may find that those areas that you do not like may improve. In regards to letting the original surgeon revise, that is a decision that only you can make. Certainly getting a second opinion is never a bad idea. Take care, dr. Dominic.

At least 1 year: Wait at least one year before considering revision rhinoplasty. Many times as swelling resolves you will be happier with the result.

Usually wait 1 year: The amount of time to wait before having revision rhinoplasty depends on what the issue is that you want corrected. It's usually recommended that you wait about a year before having more surgery. However, there are some issues that you know won't get better so it may be best to correct a little earlier. http://www.rhinoplastyinseattle.com/rhinoplasty-treatments/revision-rhinoplasty.

6-12 months: First of all give yourself time before deciding that you need a revision. I routinely tell my patients not to expect the final result for 6 months to a year after surgery. You should wait at least this long before considering revision surgery.

Revision nasal surg: Final results from nasal surgery takes time therefore the early minor issues will likely resolve by 6-12 months.Most experienced aesthetic surgeons would have discussed this with you upfront as a small percentage of patients do require minor revisions down the line.Your original surgeon can likely address your concerns and should be your first option.Seeking another opinion makes you more informed.
