Asked By:irsi in Los Angeles, CA

I am one year post op after rhinoplasty with a medpor implant that was put in my columella. The nose did not heal well & I feel nerve pressure in my maxilla area. The "bad" side is the left side & that is the side--from nasal area to neck to shoulder--where there is hot, clenching pain. I want a revision for aesthetic reasons. Will that be possible? How do I get a diagnosis and treatment for pain now?
