I had a terribly difficult revision rhinoplasty about seven months ago. It looks great and I am beyond happy with the result but I have become rather paranoid about breaking it or doing any damage. My friend had a custom protective mask made after her surgery so that she could play tennis. I am a sleep walker and sleep roller so I was wondering is there any way to make a custom mask that would protect my nose at night. Please help! Thanks!

Thank you for your questions but a physical exam or at least a picture is really needed to give you an insightful answer. As a specialist in rhinoplasty surgery, I will judge the degree of asymmetry and formulate a plan based on this. Sometimes a revision is warranted, and sometimes not. Keep in...

To answer your question: I have performed what we call a "caudal trim" for a hanging columella in my office under only local anesthesia. The body part is basically "external". Good luck.
