Hello, I recently had septorhinoplasty about a month ago and my nose feels strong. I did not have much swelling after the cast was removed. Can I re-start my amateur boxing career now?
I traditionally tell patient's it would be very wise and appropriate to avoid contact sports for at least 2-3 months after surgery. I would also suggest that you are putting yourself in a highly dangerous situation by boxing after a surgery of this type even 1 year out. But if this is your chosen career then have at it. But be aware that the likelihood of you needing more surgery at some point is quite high. And after a second injury you will likely need to undergo cartilage reconstruction with either rib or ear which would keep you out of boxing for an even longer duration. Bottom line: If your boxing career is more of a hobby then stop now and pick a different activity. If this is truly a goal you seek: just be as careful as possible but you may definitely want to wait a full 3 months before reengaging. But we all know...with enough force...anyone's nose can be broken. Take care!
What medications are used right after having a Septoplasty, Rhinoplasty, or a combined surgery? Are there any other OTC (over-the-counter) medications that would be helpful?
The medications prescribed for the postoperative period for a rhinoplasty varies among physicians. At minimum, most will presecribe an antibiotic and pain medication. Some will add medications to help decrease bruising and swelling.
I had a open revision septo-rhinoplasty 13 weeks ago & so far I love the overall look of my nose.I can see that there is a slightly visible dent on the top left side of my bridge.I don't think the top of my bridge is very swollen now but I do have some swelling on the supratip. I am wondering as the swelling on the supratip goes down if the dent will be less visible? I do not want a 2nd revision & I'm considering fillers. Are there any risks in longterm use of these such as necrosis? Thank you
This problem area could be filled in with dermal filler such as Radiesse or Juvederm. Hope this helps!
