Rhinoplasty 14mos.ago...Conservative surgeon only filed down dorsal hump when I requested him to narrow nose & refine tip as well..Nose still too wide & bulbous (even wider after filing)& all who see me agree - Surgeon stalled for a year making me wait for "final result" & now he refuses any revision saying "It is what it is"..I feel betrayed & saddened by this treatment...Do I have any recourse?
Although I cannot speak to the specifics of what your Surgeon did or did not do during your primary Rhinoplasty, he was correct in waiting 1 year for your final result. Secondly, you appear to have relatively thick skin which will definitely limit nasal tip definition. If you have reached a bridge that cannot be crossed with this Surgeon, I would advise that you seek a second opinion from an experienced Rhinoplasty Surgeon.
1st surgery was in Oct 2008. I had a silicone L-shaped implant inserted. I first noticed this weird nostril-blocking fleshy-thing sometime after the surgery. I ignored it because I thought it was inside of my nose anyways and no one is going to see it unless they look up my nose. Revision in Nov 2011. Implant replaced with ear cartilage. The fleshy nostril-blocking thing on my right nostril is still there. I found out it was called a synechium. Is this scar tissue? Does it cause swelling? Thx.
Your picture appears to show scar tissue in the nasal vestibule, probably extending into the internal nasal valve. This is one of the most difficult complication to correct after Rhinoplasty. However, release of the scar tissue followed by application of mitomycin might be helpful.
I had my primary rhinoplasty in May. My surgeon warned me that crooked noses may revert, and it did slightly. The revision procedure sounds simple and will only take an hour; he needs to rasp the bone, and reset the crooked/indentation of the cartilage of the bottom half. He's waving his fee and my nose won't be broken. I've heard horror stories about revisions. Are they best left to specialists? It sounds uncomplicated, since many of the variables have been eliminated. What should I do?
Revision rhinoplasty is best undertaken by a specialist who does plenty of primary and revision rhinoplasties. Your surgeon has a plan in mind and it sounds like he or she knows where the problem lies. However, I would be reluctant to characterize any revision rhinoplasty as "simple". If your primary procedure was in May, my opinion would be to wait at least a full year because you may have continued warping or assymmetry. It would be nice to work with a mature rhinoplasty result at any revision rhinoplasty operation.
