Question

I had a nose surgery three months ago and I am not happy with the result. How soon I can do a second surgery?

Can you show me how I would like after surgery, so I do not get disappointed again?

Answer

It is clearly very soon after your surgery and, as I am sure your surgeon will have mentioned to you, it takes considerably longer to see the end result.

Although it is possible to do some basic planning earlier during the recovery period, for the secondary surgery it would be necessary to allow 9 to 12 months for the healing to be more advanced.

For the consultation to be more meaningful, I would suggest that the earliest meeting should be late September or beginning of October. It would be helpful to have some information regarding what has been done in your first operation.
