I had a rhinoplasty about 1 year ago and Ive been noticing for a while that my nose was falling off when Im laying down on my side. Could this be related to scarring, edema or soft tissue that hasnt yet stabilized? Or should I worry that it could be more serious? Im satisfied with the result and could honestly live with it if it doesnt get any worse. The structure under the skin doesnt look weak and seems to have been reinforced, though the skin doesnt seem to have completely recovered.
Its been 9 months since rhinoplasty and the tip of my nose and collumella is still hard. Is that the reason when i smile it look like i habe hanging collumella and when ii have straight face it looks good. Will it get flatter as it gets softer over time or will i need revsion to fix it?? ALSO does edema effect collumella ?? IF i derorate my tip will it fix it ?? Without having to cut my collumella? my collumella looks like that only when i smile in pic Its all stressing me out thank you
Hi, During the first three months, I felt awesome, but later I started waking up with constant runny nose, which worsened over time, adding issues like congestion and breathing issues, 2 months with Flonase gave temporarily relief. An endoscopic exam revealed inflammation and edema. CT scan: Extra large opening in the left maxillary sinus causing recirculation. ENT has offered ESS, He believes my symptoms are due to the recirculation which causing chronic allergy rhinitis(dust mite). Ideas?:)
I got a rhinoplasty in2021. I loved my nose straight out the cast. I had edema in my radix but that resolved. As time went on, the bridge of my nose began to appear swollen, some days are better than others.When I press down on my nose, the skin is soft and moves according to my finger pressing on it. My Dr inTurkey recommended getting steroid injections of at least 3-4 mg. The doctor I went to in the US did not think it was swelling bc its Soft but my nose did improve. Pls lmk your thoughts!
I had got rhinoplasty operation by my nose 5 years ago.Doctor said that he made added caritlage to my nose tip which is between my eyes by my own cartilage which he cut out by my own nose.
I underwent rhinoplasty 18 months ago. At 6 mo follow-up, received steroid injection for persistent tip edema. As swelling has diminished, asymmetry, dent, and raised area have appeared. When I asked about revision, my surgeon told me that voluma injection will fix all of this and have a permanent effect. How would you approach this? Would you offer revision?
Hi, I had an open septo-rhinoplasty in November 2020, with a significant amount of tip reconstruction. Now, ten months later, I still have a stiffness and tenderness to my nose, especially within the tip region. There is still a substantial amount of edema that persists, and I know this by how my nose appears in the morning versus at night. There is a stark contrast in terms of its size. At this point, should I still consider having a steroid injection? Or will it be ineffective?
I am 5m post primary rhinoplasty. Breathing through one nostril is 50% obstructed. Directly after surgery there was a small lump, which probably was a small hematoma which wasn't drained. Now there is a stiff bulge right below the place where you can see the scar, parallel to lateral crus. The wall is sagging because of it. My surgeon prescribed 3 rounds of steroid injections to deal with edema and fibrosis. Can it be that UCL strut could ve been placed unilaterally and caused the bulging?
4 months after rhinoplasty I do not like the type of my nose. Is it possible with time to improve its appearance? I have more skin around my eyes, which looks like it's cracked. I have a lump to the right that is rigid to the touch if it's edema or not? Is there hope for improvement or will need a re-operation.
My nose started to look swollen 4 weeks after the surgery... it doesn't hurt nor tender but when I touch the end of it where the implant ends it feels like there is fluid... I bumped the tip a couple of days ago... I'm thinking it's edema.., fluid accumulating... I did the nose job in Vietnam so I can't really call my surgeon... I need help I'm going to see my family physician tomorrow to get it looked at
