I was advised to wait to tape my nose following cast removal. At 1- month post-op, doctor said to start taping & to do it for 6 months. I'm nervous that my taping may hurt nose since it is still very sensitive with throbbing & pressure. My nasal bones were broken and I had alloderm. Is taping beneficial at this 1-month point? Is it common or not unusual to tape the nose for 6 months of time? Is it possible for a patient to cause asymmetry by taping improperly or taping in of itself?
2 and a half months post op thick skin Goretex on the bridge and cartilage for the tip. Random parts through out the day or when I become happy / blush my nose starts to throb and swell. The swelling lasts for hours or even the next day. Is this is Normal?
Hello. I am 9 days post rhinoplasty today. Today while I was outdoors an insect fell on my nose and I acted instinctively by trying swipe it off and I hit my nose with my palm accidently (not too strong but not just a pat on the nose either). My nose seems to be the tinniest bit more swollen on the side that I hit it on. Other than that and a little bit of a throbbing sensation after the hit I didn't notice anything wrong. Should I be worried about my results?
Its been roughly a month and 2 weeks after my rhinoplasty. I was out with my friends and one accidentally pushed me and I bumped my nose against a glass door. My nose did not bleed it was just swollen and throbbing. It has been 4 days since the bump and my nose is slightly bruised at the top and slightly swollen on the left side, which makes it appear as if my nose is slanted. I was wondering if I have done serious damage to my nose.
My friend hit the right side of my nose with her hand. It hurt for a few seconds, then the pain subsided. I noticed later that night that my nose was swollen more than usual. That same night, my friends dog scratched the left side of my nose, causing me to bleed from the scratch and my nose swelled even more. I took photos of my nose the next day and it appeared that it had shifted to the right. could the right side of my nose be more swollen than the left? no pain but some throbbing.
I am 3 weeks postop. Rhino included hump removal alar base reduction narrowing bone and tip and septoplasy. Recovery went great until day 11. I get this sharp throbbing pressure on 1 side of my nose ONLY that goes down to my front teeth. It's one of the WORST pains I've ever felt. Sometimes there's slight clicking sounds. It last for anywhere between 30 secs to 5 mins and I get it about 10x/day. On antibiotics and have a cream inside the nose that isn't helping. Is this normal? Will this pass?
