Question:
Are there any exceptions in which revision rhinoplasty can be performed earlier than one year after the first surgery?
Answer:
Rarely. The scar under the skin around the cartilages needs to thin out as much as possible and the swelling gone in the tip. That can actually take 18 months. An exception would be if the bones are a bit off early on. Osteotomies (cutting the bone) could be done earlier.
