What Kind of Stitches Are Used in Rhinoplasty? Do they dissolve or are they taken out? Do I have a choice? My friend had rhinoplasty last month and she had 16 stitches. She said getting the stitches removed was more painful than the surgery.

A: Sutures used in Rhinoplasty Procedures

Typically two types are used depending on the saurgical technique. Permanent or dissolvable sutures can be used. Typically most rhinplasty is performed with long term absorbable sutures which dissappear over 6 months. By that time all the tiisue has healed in position and the suture is no longer needed. There are occasions where we will use a permanent suture for more long term security. Hope this was helpful.

I Smoked 5 Cigarettes a Week After Rhinoplasty, Did I Damage the Results? Dear doctors, I just had a closed rhinoplasty done last week, it is beautiful and I'm so happy with it but I smoked 5 cigarettes today. I now have a little blue line at the bottom of my nose and I didn't have it yesterday. I want to cry because I have been given the most beautiful nose. I threw my pack of cigarettes away. I know I shouldn't have done it, and I won't do it anymore. I just want to know what to do. Could it have ruined the results? Please help.

A: Smoking after rhinoplasty

It is unlikely that you did permanent damage to your nose with 5 cigarettes. But smoking does affect healing and the smoke irritates the recently traumatized nasal mucosa. I would not smoke. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Hard Bump Where Bridge Was Shaved Down 6 Months Later (photo) I'm nearly six months post-op and I have a considerable hard bump where the bridge of my nose was shaved down. I suffered no traumatic bumps to my nose following my surgery. Is this a callous formation? or did something go wrong? I'm seeing my surgeon, but the soonest appointment I could get is a month away! The bump feels hard, like bone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

A: Bump after surgery

You may have callous formation after the original rhinoplasty or possibly residual bony hump. I would wait a full year before revision to give you to best chance of correcting the problem. Discuss this with your surgeon. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

The primary was 3 1/2 years ago and 7 months later my same p/s did a Rhinoplasty revision surgery due to a piece of bone on my bridge pessing against my skin and causing a hump on the bridge of my nose as well as fix a hanging Collumella from the primary surgery and fix a "pig nose"... more

	“I Would Not Recommend - Atlanta” I went in with a straight nose with a bulbous tip that I wanted sculpted. I left with a crooked bridge, a new lump that I never had, and severely twisted tip.

I also had my eyes done, which left unexpected scarring in the corner of one, and crows feet that never existed prior... more
	“I Developed a Deviated Septum from a...” Before the first surgery: Nothing was structurally wrong with my nose. The only reason I had a nose job was because I was unhappy with the bump on my nose. I also agreed to have my Dr refine the tip of my nose. I had no deviated septum, my nostrils were evenly sized, etc. I asked him if the size of my nostrils would still be even after the surgery, because to me that was the most obvious... more
	“Deviated Septum and Rhinoplasty......” Hi... I'm 26 years old male that have a deviated septum and a bumb on my nose.

	“Dr is Recommending a Revision...” I had a rhinoplasty about four months ago to correct a hump and a drooping tip that pointed further down when I smiled. (It looked like a hook nose.) My nose is now very straight, but there are two issues.One: when I went to see the dr for a checkup a week ago, he walked in and said that he saw a problem immediately. It looks like my nose is more swollen on the right side than the left. ... more
	“Loved Results Until Swelling Started...” I was very happy with my rhinoplasty initially. I had a very large nose, and it was a no brainer to get it done.I did not experience a lot of pain, but I had two very, very large, and very, very dark black eyes. I even had blood spots in the whites of my eyes. It took about a month for the black eyes to go away. I used arnica, and bromelain before and after my surgery as well as creams to help more

	“Sleep Apnea & Rhinoplasty Surgeries” About 10 years ago, I had pretty severe sleep apnea. I had surgeries to a) correct a deviated septum, b) reduce the size of my uvula and c) enlarge my nostrils via some procedure that put hot tubes inside my nostrils and supposedly the scar tissue would keep the nostrils open. The procedure was not painful, but the smell of burning flesh was a bit disquieting! :). At first things were... more
