I had a large nose and the front bit used to droop down and I had issues with breathing to. I had open rhinoplasty done on the nhs and a skin graft to the tip of my nose to try and resolve this. Ive had 1 revision but the skin graft hasn't settled and had a knuckled effect at the end of my nose. The inside of my nose feels like its collapsed. A further revision was needed but NHS the funding for it was refused. I can't afford the nhs specialist privately, can it be fixed by anyone else?

Because your corrective surgery is related to your cleft lip it may be covered by insurance. Most insurance companies will cover this through age 18. Talk to your Surgeon's office about seeking authorization for coverage. It will depend on the company and the type of policy you have now.
Thank you for your question. By the third week the nose is almost ninety percent as strong as it was before surgery. It is unlikely that the injury you described will cause any lasting damage. The puffiness you see should resolve on its own.
