I had surgery in March and I'm waiting for a revision surgery because of a complication (inflammation). I thought that once 6 months had passed after surgery, I could have surgery any time. But maybe because this nose had inflammation once before, when I went to a local clinic famous for reconstruction the other day for a consultation, they said 6 months is still too soon and suggested waiting 11 to 12 months. The nose still feels hard when I touch it, but I guess they said that because the tissue needs to loosen enough for good results...? I told myself, since I've already waited this long, let's hold out a bit longer, but thinking about having to wait another 6 months with this face makes me feel stuck
