I have steroid scars from a doctor different than the one who performed my rhinoplasty (for acne scars). They left me with fat atrophy and dents in my face. They weren't that noticeable, but after my rhino (in which skin was removed), they became very apparent. I would like to inject those areas with sterile, preservative free normal saline. Injections will be subdermal and intradermal. Would this be ok? Would it ruin my rhino results? I'm 7 months post op.
Considering a rhinoplasty this year. I understand that surgeons recommend using saline post op. My issue is when I use a saline I become very sneezy and nose becomes itchy on tthe inside (almost allergy type feeling). What can I do to minimize discomfort caused by saline post op? Are there specific types of saline that are better?
I've been cleaning my nose with a q-tip gently inside around the tip, typically with nasal saline spray diluted with hydrogen peroxide to clean up the dried blood / crusts. I went up a little high a couple times because there was a big blood clot.. I try to be careful and gentle but I was wondering if I could possibly be damaging anything? I haven't gotten any alarming pain, bleeding or anything. My Dr. didn't really mention a q-tip but he did say to rinse with nasal saline spray.
I had rhinoplasty about 3 months ago and last month my nose started whistling whenever I breathe in and out of my nose. The whistling sound is only coming out of one of my nostrils, it also feels obstructed. I did saline to try and clear it and there is nothing physically clogging my nose that I know about. Is this normal or permanent? How can I fix this? I saw my surgeon last month and she looked inside my nose to check for any infections but she said it looks fine and all looks ok. Thank you.
I have a nose full of hard dried blood clots. I cleaned the front of my nostrils, and looking at me directly you wouldn't be able to see any blood clots within my nose. But I feel them all in there! I use saline spray a few x/day, and i do use the ointment but I hate using it bc it's hard to breathe with it in your nose. I occasionally pick at some of the dried blood with a tweezer (*very gently though. It's like playing Operation! I try not to touch the sides or move my nose). that is okay?
Hi, I had a rhino/septo about 6 weeks ago and I have bad scabbing and mucus in my throat. And my breathing is very congested at times I can only breathe out of one nostril, then sometimes it changes to the other. Ive tried saline spray, Vaseline, ointment, and a humidifier. But scabs keep coming back even after Ive cleaned it. Is there anything else I can do. I just want to be able to breathe better.
I had a septorhinoplasty surgery done and this is my second week going. Should I use Saline or Hydrogen Peroxide to clean my nose after a septorhinoplasty? As far as I know, H2O2 is a germ killer but not saline? Thanks
I am trying to maintain regular use of saline spray as recommended to keep my nose moist at 2 weeks post op however I feel that after using the saline spray my nose feels even more dry and stiff. I have tried different brands and not much luck. Some of the tips on the saline spray were too large for my nostril so I purchased a spray with a more narrow tip for application. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
5weeks post op from a rhinoplasty. Everyday since my surgery I have been using Q tips to gently clean the inside of my nose such as mucus but I don't really go deep in there. i don't know any other way to clear the mucus. my doctor said it was okay for me to use Qtips to remove the mucus. I use Saline nasal spray before inserting the Qtips. With my Q tips, I use water & an ointment, not hydrogen peroxide because it burns. I just want to know do Q tips ruin the results of my nose? I'm worried
I had rhino and septo 3 weeks ago and as soon as the splits came off I couldn't keep my fingers away from my nose. I kept picking it and then I would saline wash it and use the ointment. Now yes it's sore and red and have talked with my surgeon and waiting on his reply. But if it is infected can this cause any issues in the future. Please inform me of the common and also rare. Thanks in advance.
