Asian Revision rhinoplasty. When is the soonest I can get this redone and what would you recommend be done?

Q: I had a revision rhinoplasty done 4/2015 and I feel that it is too long and pointy. It totally changed the way I look. It was done with diced cartilage and fascia. I now have a humped nose. When is the soonest I can get this redone and what would you recommend be done?

A: Your nose will continue to change in appearance as it heals.  Especially since you are healing from a revision surgery, it will be prudent to allow your nose to heal fully before considering planning another revision.  After such an extensive revision (with rib cartilage and fascia) I would wait at least 9 months before considering a revision.

The positive is that given the amount of augmentation and counter-rotation your nose was given during the revision surgery, you may not need additional grafts taken during this future revision.
