Answer:
The incidence of postsurgical nasal deformities requiring secondary correction varies from 5% to 12%, however, post-surgical tissue swelling may take several months to resolve. Sheen lists five ground rules for the management of postsurgical nasal anomalies: 1) defer surgery until there is final resolution of tissue edema (at least 1 year); 2) have a well-defined esthetic concept; 3) make a proper diagnosis; 4) limit the dissection; 5) use only autogenous material.
The short answer to the question above is therefore to wait and postpone any revision for several months until tissue swelling has completely resolved.
