Had an open revision 2 wks ago and the swelling is 90-95%gone. I am thin skinned and had my 1st rhinoplasty 20 yrs ago. I asked the dr to address knuckling nostril and pointiness at top of other. The prominent problem is gone, but the knuckle under the other side was way overdone, I thought it could just soften the line. He should have advised not to do anything, now there is a long shadow to the tip of my nose. I think it will look very bad in a few months when the swelling is gone. Time will not make it better and there is no support between my columela and nostril. Can i get filler next week, like juviderm? Do you have long term info for silikon1000?
Your concern about asymmetries post rhinoplasty is a common one.
My advice is as follows.
- Be patient. It can take many months for the swelling to subside. In the early stages of healing, it is impossible to assess and determine the final outcome. The worst thing you can do is find another surgeon who will go in and perform a 3rd revision surgery when the likelihood is that the asymmetries you are noticing are caused by the swelling. The third surgery could have a negative impact on your final results.
- Injecting a filler during the healing face, especially a permanent one, is not advisable. This can create new problems.
- Go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. This is the most important advice I can give you. Have an open discussion.
I have Lyme Disease and I'm allergic to Penicillin. Would Juvederm be safe, or is there another filler I can consider?
It is rare to have an allergic reaction to Juvederm and Restylane. Lyme disease doesn't increase this risk. You should consult with the doctor treating your Lyme disease if you have any further concerns. Good luck.
