“Rhinoplasty Caused a Build Up of Scar Tissue”

The EXACT same thing happened to my nose, but the amount of scar tissue that builds up sometimes can't be helped by the surgeon--everyone's body reacts differently to surgery. I decided to do a revision rhinoplasty with the same surgeon free of cost, so he removed the scar tissue and strengthened my tip. If my body reacts the same way it did last time, I know I can't blame him, but there are ways to help reduce the amount of scar tissue buildup that I hadn't tried before. I realized too late what exactly was happening to my nose, but fortunately my surgeon was understanding. I now tape my nose every night to keep the swelling to a minimum and reduce the amount of "dead space," decreasing the chance for scar tissue to form and harden like last time. I also take the herbal supplement Bromelain to help with swelling as well. So far (a month and a half after the revision) the swelling seems to be at a minimum due to my constant efforts. I'm very well aware that optimal results are not guaranteed, which every surgeon should impress before surgery, but the way your body reacts to surgery can't always be predetermined. However, I know exactly what what you mean by being dissatisfied with this result--I went through the same thing, and I'm trying my best to stop it from happening again. It depends on how long after surgery your nose is at this point, but in some cases deep massaging of the problem area has aided in breaking up scar tissue, but I would ask your surgeon to make sure. I wish you the very best of luck!

What is the name of your Doctor? Thanks

Could you message me the name of that doctor? I live in Irving and highly considering getting rhinoplasty as well.
