“Elective Rhinoplasty in Near Mess - Manila, Philippines”

I had an elective rhinoplasty 2 months ago and everything was working as expected, the swelling has subsided and the new nose was what I had expected. 2 weeks ago I noticed that my nose has started to swell again...about the same time, I was suffering from sinus infection.

Since my Plastic Surgeon is from the Philippines,I went to my Primary Care Physician who gave me Keflex and Nasonex. I have been taking Keflex for more than 5 days but I did not start taking the Nasonex yet..I remember my surgeon telling right after surgery that I need to wait before I could take meds with steroids. I have been taking the Keflex but my nose is still swollen. Any advice?

The original rhinoplasty done in the Philippines was catastrophic. The tip of my nose was red from day 1 after surgery. I suffered from numerous infections 2 months later and was on antibiotics for more than 6 months after that. I had a big abscess on the right upper part of my nose close to my eye which oozed blood and pus. I had 2 surgeries in California to fix the problems. My Plastic Surgeon in Fairfield, CA removed the implant and a month after, he fixed the deep scar caused by the abscess. Luckily, the nose still looks the same even without the implant. I love the result. Big Advice: As much as possible, have your reconstructive/plastic surgeries done in the US by certified Plastic Surgeons. Going to the Philippines to save some money was a terrible mistake.
