Head Tension After Rhinoplasty?

I had a reduction rhinoplasty 2.5 years ago. Too much mass was taken from my nose. It has actually left me with a condition that causes tension in my forehead. The muscles became much more developed and tight leaving 3 vertical lines in my forehead. It has also changed my expression to a much more tense forehead and eyes appearance. I think it is partly cause my now feels as if it was almost removed compared to what I had in the past. Has this happened to any patients before?

I agree with everyone else- I haven't heard of this happening before, and doubt that it is realted to your nasal surgery. It is much more likely that something else (aging, tension in general, squinting, headaches) has caused the problem. Botox would likely be very helpful for this. Good luck.

Head Tension 2.5 Years After Rhinoplasty

Hello, At 2.5 years after rhinoplasty, I doubt that your surgery is the cause of the head tension and the wrinkles you developed. Botox injections may be a good option for you to consider to relax your forehead muscles. I recommend that you consult with a board certified surgeon regarding that matter who will be able to examine you and guide you to make a well informed decision. Thank you for your inquiry and the best of luck to you. Dr. Sajjadian more

Headaches after rhinoplasty

I doubt that your headaches are related to the rhinoplasty. Tension headaches can sometimes be treated with Botox or Dysport. But this is really more of a medical issue. You might want to see a Neurologist who specializes in headaches.

Head Tension
