Question

I am 5 months post op rhinoplasty and I'm not happy with the result. Is it to early to have consultation regarding my revision rhinoplasty and should I wait 12-18 months after operation?

Is there any point to do 3D imaging now?

Answer

At 5 months after the surgery it is a little early to use the 3-D imaging. It is preferable to do a simple 2-D simulation, and use the 3-D imaging between 9 and 12 months after the operation.

For a revision procedure a minimum of 9 months would be recommended, with 12 months being preferable.
