Although there is some individual variation, the stabilization process usually takes about 6 months.A hasty revision rhinoplasty can cause problems of the tissues so sufficient stabilization of the tissues prior to it is recommended.Cases of spotting a problem and undergoing a revision rhinoplasty not long after the primary surgery sometimes happen depending on the cases.Therefore, clear and precise delivery of the patient’s desire to the doctor and finding an expert surgeon for the successful operation are most important.Primary surgery itself is very important too, but if one has to undergo revision rhinoplasty, choosing an expert nose surgeon and a hospital with extensive experience and great skill is essential.
