How Soon After Bad Rhinoplasty W/ Overrated Tip Can I Try Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty?

August 4, 2013
Asked By:irsi in Los Angeles, CA

My tip was elevated with Medpor tip top graft /ear cartilage in open revision rhino 8 weeks ago. I have thick skin & I know part of what I'm seeing is normal swelling, but I feel incredibly self-conscious & pug-nosed.I don't think I'm infected, but this was an overcorrection I regret. When is it safe to seek a filler to slightly lengthen/downturn the nose again & what should I seek?My surgeon provided prednisone instead of Kenalog injections & admittedly refuses to administer Kenalog at all.

Can I Horseback Ride Two Weeks After a Rhinoplasty with Only Work Done on the Cartilage and Tip?
Roy A. David, MD says:

I advise my patients to avoid strenuous exercise for up to one month- including running or lifting heavy weights. Horseback riding is also a jarring activity, however the soft portion of the nose you mention is more flexible. This question should be answered by your surgeon, so give him a call!
