Hello, i had an accident (7 months ago) that left me with a crooked nose so I'm considering rhinoplasty . I think it's in the bony section but my ENT doctor said it might be cartilage as well .So , when you straighten the bones will the cartilage follow the movement (and come to a straighter mode as well) or there is another technique for that ? (like rasping or cut it) (sorry for my english) (i want the less possible work in my nose cause im really scared)
Sometimes the cartilage moves back with the bone, but usually it needs to be freed as well in order to go back to the center. This is usually pretty straightforward, but may require what's called a septoplasty in order to allow it to move and to stay where it is moved.
Hi, I have what I believe to be excess cartilage on one side of my nose near the tip and it makes it look like I have a crooked nose. It wasn't there when I was really young, it grew when I was about 12 or so and it has been there ever since. I was wondering if this would be a very simple procedure to have done because it seems like a doctor could almost just 'shave' off an extra piece of my nose. Has anyone ever dealt with something like this? Is it a simple procedure to have done?
Although this looks pretty simple to you, the nose is complex. I would have to see what exactly you are talking about to give you a recommendation. While just shaving down is sometimes all that's needed, more often than not, it's more complicated than that. a complete examination of your nose and assessment of the airway would be necessary. You may only need minor septal work (the septum is the "wall" that runs down the middle of the inside of the nose, separating it into two sides), or you could need a complete rhinoplasty. It would be important to have an appointment with a surgeon trained in both the esthetic as well as the functional surgery of the nose. Hope that was helpful.
I like how my nose looks when you look straight at me because it's really thin , but when you look at me side ways u could see the huge bumpy bone in my nose ( I have a typical beak nose) I want my nose to be smaller n I want to omit the big bridge but will my nose still be thin ?How long will it look swollen for?
While obviously noe two noses are alike, similarly, no two surgeons are alike. It would be Morgantown for you to find a surgeon who you trust, and about whom you feel comfortable. Ask friends, your own doctor, or look at online evaluations to help you in this process. Rhinoplasty is a wonderful operation that can make profound lasting changes in the way you look and feel, so getting it right is of utmost importance. The operation is generally very well tolerated, with minimal downtime postoperatively. Your nose would probably a stay just as thin as it is now, and swelling may clear within a few weeks, though final resolution of microscopic swelling changes can take a year or more. There's no rush, so do your homework to find the experienced rhinoplasty surgeon that's right for you.
