the surgery was done on january 14th , they corrected my deviated septum, straighten my nose ,removed the bump with slight elevation of the nose tip. i'm happy with the results all going fine, but still can't breath well by my nose through day and night and i sleep with my mouth open and cause of that i snore sometimes when i'm sleeping ,my doctor said this all cause of the swelling, i'm just concerned if this is common and when i will be able to breath well???
Hi Farah,
You are still very early in the healing phase and it is absolutely normal to have some congestion and difficulty breathing at this point. This is due to the swelling that results from manipulating the tissues during surgery. It generally takes several weeks for the internal swelling to resolve. However, you should notice an improvement in you breathing over the next couple of weeks. Different people heal at different rates. A lot of it also depends on what specifically was performed during the surgery. Your surgeon will be the best person to answer more specifically as to how long it will take for you to breathe more comfortably. Rest assured that the first week is usually the worst and you will continue to notice some improvement every day. I hope this helps!

I've had a red dot on my bridge of my nose since about 4 years ago, from time to time i've noticed it get bigger and bigger, right where my red dot is, theres a bone and it feels really tender.. i've gone to one rhinoplasty surgeon and he said that this will go away after surgery for the bump on my nose.. But i've read that i only really need is a laser treatment, so im not sure what to do! my nose IS crooked and broken. Can anyone help me?
Hi PetiteGalvan,
Without examining you in person and palpating the area of concern, it is difficult to say with certainty what we are dealing with. However, if when you feel that area, you notice a bump or prominent piece of bone under the skin, it is possible that a rhinoplasty may improve this. However, my guess is that there isn’t an underlying bony issue and that the discoloration is only on the skin and is vascular in nature. These can often be treated quite simply with a laser. However, given your complexion you will need to make sure you see a physician who is well-versed in lasers in various skin types, in order to avoid scarring or hyperpigmentation. If you decide to have the rhinoplasty, I would recommend having the surgery first and then the laser after the skin has healed adequately from the surgery. Hope this helps! Good luck!
