Is the recovery for a revision rhinoplasty the same as a primary surgery?
Dr. Mehta recommends waiting at least one year after your first surgery. It can take up to a year for your full results to appear due to residual swelling.
Yes. The recovery period is about the same and they both require twelve months for the results to be considered final.
