Talk with surgeon: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person. He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Depends: It depends on how the rhinoplasty went. You'll need to discuss this with your surgeon.

Rhinoplasty Revision: Generally one year is required before going for revision rhinoplasty surgery. This is because there is a fair amount of tissue softening that must occur before going back in.

Generally one year: Rhinoplasty causes a lot of swelling and the final result is often difficult to see for a full year. Unless there is a glaring problem with a bump or bone, it is best to wait until your doctor can see the final result to come up with the best plan for treatment.

Ask your surgeon: Ask your surgeon. It depends on the type of other surgery and the extent of your rhinoplasty. It also depends on your general health.
