Hello, I have been asking myself this question for the longest time. I saw that some people who get a rhinoplasty can develop a callus post op. This callus can be rasped down with a local anesthesia procedure. Normally when taking down a bump on the nose, osteotomies are done to close the open roof deformity, but why arent osteotomies required when rasping down a callus post op? Thank you for your answers.
I had open rhinoplasty 2 years ago. About 6 months ago I noticed a gap on the bridge of my nose, where my hump was shaved off. I recently had my 2 year post op and my surgeon said this is normal to have when you have had rhinoplasty and that it is not an open roof deformity because it is not visible to the eye. However I can see it and its noticeable in certain lighting and in some pictures. My surgeon doesnt believe a revision would help because he believes its a minor detail.
I am interested in a rhinoplasty surgery and would like to know whether this can be combined with treating a slight gap on my nose (to treat open roof gap deformity) I also have a small bump in the same area where the open roof gap is (on the nasal bridge) and wondering if both these issues can be adressed though surgery?
Im 10 months post preservation rhinoplasty and i have an open roof on one side, even tho i had a medial and lateral osteotomy. My surgeon says its normal and that it will still close by itself with callus growth. Is that really possible and how long does that take? Update: Photos added
Im 10 months post op after a preservation rhino. I have been feeling a slid in the bone on one side next to my septum since i was a few months post op. I saw my surgeon last months and he said its completely normal after the preservation technique because the bones are moved inwards and there will be callus growth to close the slid, but it seems weird to mm after so long that will still happen. Can i still hav hope it will close and look straight again?
Second question regarding my open roof. In one of my responses the doctor mentioned me pulling my skin. I have attached a picture. For some reason the dent is noticeable only when I tilt my head to the side. During surgery my nasal bones were broken and my surgeon has told me bone irregularities on the bridge are normal but Im not sure if thats correct. Please advise if this is open roof deformity?
My cast was put on really crooked and my nose has stayed in that shape for the last 7 months, and I thought it might get better but it only getting worse. As you can see the left side is all fallen in, I feel something like an open roof deformity on that side, there is this big slid starting between my eyebrows to almost the tip. Did this happen of how the cast was placed or because the bones werent closed well enough? Can this still get better? The right halve feels normal, like preop, rounder
So I had rhinoplasty 5 years ago and Im overall pretty happy, but I noticed this very subtle shadow down my nose and can tell one side (other side is great) has a gap where the septum doesnt meet the bone due to inadequate (lateral?) osteotomies. Im not sure its enough to bother getting another surgery over it - but if I leave it alone will there be consequences as I age? Look worse, bones degrade, deeper dent as my skin gets thinner? If not serious can some filler camouflage it?
