Rhinoplasty Caused Eye Protrusion, Do I Need a Revision?

Please dont say this is nothing to do with my Rhinoplasty as I have had many eye exams & tests for diseases and all are clear. I had an osteotomie done & i think its irritating my eyes orbital bone and also the eyes muscle seems more visible than the other normal eye. I feel my rhino 9 months ago has caused this problem as has the mass of jelly type cyst that was placed under the osteotomie. Would i need another op to fix this as my nose is sore & i have been on many antibiotics 4 infection.

WIthout an exam, it is very hard to say what is going on. Eye shape change is doubtful after rhinoplasty. As for this jelly like mass? Hard to say without further study.

It would be best to coordinate that with your operating surgeon.
