Rhinoplasty after previous septoplasties

The septoplasty operation is not done to reduce any size or bump on the bridge. The septoplasty operation is done out of medical necessity to improve airflow dynamics through the nose to straighten a deviated septum. The septal deviation is located in the back of the nose, not along the top of the bridge. The rhinoplasty operation can certainly straighten the nose through osteotomies and any reduction of the hump along the bridge can also be removed at the time of the rhinoplasty. This... more

Rhinoplasty after Septoplasties

Years ago some nasal surgeons would actually stage the septoplasty, doing the cosmetic work during a separate operation. Although that is rarely done today, you can have a rhinoplasty despite your previous nasal trauma and surgery. I suggest you have surgery performed by physician experienced in revision rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty, Nose reduction

It is difficult to say without seeing at least photos but it should accomplish the things you are asking. Once you have an operation though, it usually causes more scar tissue and takes l,onger for the swelling to go away. Watch my video!

Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose

Your best bet is to see a surgeon and discuss what you dislike (and like!) about your nose. Some surgeons use computer imaging during the consultation, and this can allow you to see potential results after surgery. This tool helps the communication between patient and surgeon. From what you have described (and it is hard to determine without photos) you certainly could have all the issues you noted corrected at the time of one rhinoplasty surgery. Even if you have had prior... more

Rhinoplasty after Broken Nose and Multiple Septoplasty Surgeries

Hi yid army86 in aberdeen, Rhinoplasty is not one operation, but many potential operations. Every patient is unique. Reducing the hump from a nose is the most common request for cosmetic nasal surgery. Humps are usually made up of both cartilage and bone, and come in various sizes and shapes. Reducing small humps is a relatively easier procedure, as compared to more extensive rhinoplasty surgery. Large bumps will require bone reshaping/breaking after the hump is removed. A goal... more

Revision Rhinoplasty after Two Septoplasties

Well first - sorry to hear of your problem. This is a difficult question to answer without an examination. However if you are still having concerns about nasal appearance it is reasonable to hope that another procedure can answer all of your concerns. How involved or how easy that would be depends upon a number of factors. First - just what kind of septal surgery was performed and how much cartilage was left. If the septoplasty was successful in helping you to breather better then... more

Rhinoplasty after previous septoplasties

While it may be more difficult to perform a rhinoplasty after a previous septoplasty especially when it is associated with nasal trauma, the short answer is "yes", you can still have a rhinoplasty done. It should in general only take one procedure. If there is not sufficient cartilage inside your nose available should grafting be needed, alternative sources could be the use of your ear or rib cartilage. I hope this information helps.

It's best to have rhinoplasty surgery performed at the time of septoplasty surgery.

Since you've had 2 septoplasty surgeries, your rhinoplasty may be somewhat difficult. If you will require cartilage grafting to obtain a desired cosmetic result with your nose, your surgeon may not be able to harvest this from your septum. In that regard, rib-cartilage, or ear cartilage may be useful. All the best from NJ.
