Im curious as to whether alarplasty can be done under local anasthesia? Can any rhinoplasty be done this way?
I would say that most patients will tolerate reduction alar surgeries under local. By that I refer to techniques designed to reduce the size of the tip, refine the tip, reduce nostril size etc. Weir incisions and alar base reductions are commonly completed under a local anesthetic in an operative suite. Composite grafts or other surgeries to increase the tip size, projection, etc., are usually best performed under a general for the comfort and safety of the patient. Great question.
I have a crooked nose. I think I have a deviated septum because I find it hard to breathe,mostly at night. I also have a messed up sense of smell. I don't know if that has anything to do with the crookedness. But I find it hard to smell things. I told my doctor and she checked my nose but said she doesn't think it is serious enough for surgery. I hate how my nose looks though. It is crooked and the tip is boulbous, I also have a bump. Is it possible to have the insurance cover my surgery?
At best, insurance companies will cover surgery related to the breathing issues regarding your nose such as the septum. They will not cover anything that constitutes cosmetic surgery such as fixing your bulbous tip.
You should go to a board certified plastic surgeon who could assess your situation and them make the appropriate recommendations.
I had a rhinoplasty 1 month ago,and a bit of the sutures that were removed 10 days after rhinoplasty was forgotten in my nostril.The suture was pulling some of the flesh right at the verge of the edge of my nostril upwards,and there is now a partly white dot of flesh right at the inner corner of my nostril,and where the flesh should have been there is a pit,of which a part is ON the rim of my nostril.Can anything be done about this,and if so,WHEN should it be done,as soon as possible or later?
Your question is one that you should be asking of your surgeon, not from physicians online. Give him/her a call and be seen and assessed.
