Question

I had rhinoplasty a month ago to raise the tip of my nose slightly as it is too long for my face.

The surgeon did not raise it at all it seems and I am not happy with the outcome. I am wondering if you perform revision surgery, and if so how long would I need to wait to have the surgery with yourself?

Answer

I would be happy to see you in consultation and discuss your concerns and requirements.

With regards to revision surgery, if the operation took place through an open approach, a nine-month interval from your surgery would be the minimum. If the intervention words through a closed approach, 6 months from the previous intervention would be sufficient.
