Could a full nose reconstruction expert please help me with these questions, one who can make aesthetically nice nose w/ autologous materials (no nasal tissues left). 1) Can a blend of rib & ear be used to make the reconstructed nose softer? 2) Can columella be remade w/ ear? 3) Are spreader grafts uncomfortable? 4) what happens to extra skin in reconstruction, is it cut? 5) can columella rib graft be removed? 6) can columella scars be cut out with new skin to drape? Thank you!!!
5 months ago I had open septorhinoplasty with donor rib cartilage. The tip was narrowed and the dorsal hump removed. Since the cast was removed I have noticed a bend in my nose to my right and it hasnt improved. Ive also recently seen a small hard lump on the right side of my nose tip. Would I benefit from revision surgery after 12 months?
HelIo. I had a rhinoplasty with ribcartilage to reconstruct and I like the profile when my head is looking up or slightly tilted up. I noticed when my head is very straight on camera or looking downward, it's very bulbous. Would more bridge augmentation and osteotomy be needed to improve my downward profile to make my bridge appear more thin and more defined when looking downward? Also, what would make the supratip and tip look less flat? Would defatting the tip a bit be overly risky?
Can someone please explain what will happen to the nosetip and columella if the rib graft has to be removed without replacing it with any other graft (no septum cartilage available). How would you approach this? Would you use fat injection or soft tissue to make the nose look at least normal? (Rib is used as: Spreader grafts, dome build, valve, nosetip and columella). Is there a chance the nosetip will still stay bulbous? And a bit high? I feel like no doctor is doing this procedure.
Hello I had a functional septorhinoplasty about 2 years ago. It left a dent on the left side of my nose as well as swelling from the mid vault to the nostril also on the left side. It's been a pretty traumatic experience. The doctor performing the revision is going to be using rib cartilage for grafts. Are these grafts grafts usually harvested the same day of the surgery? I would like to ask him directly, but he seems very busy and I don't want to bother him
Hello, Ive undergo rhinoplasty 6 months ago and completely regret my decision. I honestly feel much prettier with my old nose. I always loved my nose I was just convinced by fillers that Id be much more beautiful if it was smaller. I couldnt be more incorrect. I havent stopped crying since the procedure. My main concern is wanting to know if I could get similar results to my old nose. My surgeon didnt changed the shape but reduced the size and added rib cartilage to bridge and tip. Please
had a revision rhinoplasty in march 2022 with a rib graft. The tip of my nose became very red this summer and has not gone away. The skin also peels. It also seems to get worse when Im hot. I wear sunscreen and my surgeon said it should go away in time. Is it necrosis or rosacea? Ive also tried bbl laser to help and it hasnt. Some days its worse than others but seems to get more red throughout day. Pictures Im posting are in morning with little redness but gets bright red later
